Unfortunately, I have heard the modern day Pawnee tribe and the modern day Sioux tribes still have animosities toward each other. Even though today in the 21st Century, Native Americans should pardon the pun, bury the hatchet, put aside their ancient tribal animosities, and form a unified Native American civil rights movement.

"the enemy of my enemy is my friend"

You forgot a couple things: • Pozole, a traditional Mexican dish today, was served in pre-Hispanic times with human meat. Today we just use either pork or chicken. • Aztecs used a rack called "tzomptantli", where they would show the severed heads of their enemies. • Aztecs sacrificed a group of Spanish, Caribbean & African travelers (including pregnant women) who were trying to reach Cortes. • There is a deity in Mesoamerican culture called Xipe Totec: it's a priest dressed with a flayed skin. Rituals often included dancers & priests resembling him. • Very probably Aztecs liked to brag about their own brutality: it is thought that this "84K people sacrificed in four days" thing was merely a way for Aztecs to show off. Anyway, nice video XD.

Almost all executions at the time were done in public squares. And the Spanish were also genociding multiple cultures at the time which i find worse.

I realize the sensationalism of the sacrifices makes good viewing, but I take exception that when the subject of human sacrifice comes up, the first thing out of peoples mouths is, Aztecs. Human sacrifice was practiced by almost every society in the world, from the druids to the Hebrews and much further back. There is some speculation that the Assyrians sacrificed children and newborns to their gods. Yet there is no sensationalism about that. Sacrifices are usually offered to appease their gods in every case. Every society had their way of showing reverence, this was just the Mexica way.

@local_authority

Жыл бұрын

Immunity to disease by the foreigners was higher because they were more well travelled, whereas the ones who usually died from the introduced diseases had little to no immunity or exposure to these particular deadly pathogens viruses and bacterias thus making them more susceptible to extreme sickness or death, similar to what has happened to China with the forced lockdowns for years, now being lower immunity and at higher risk of adverse effects from the mutated and stronger strains we're seeing.

@ImpeachObamaASAP2010

Жыл бұрын

It's very simple. Animals. Europeans, Africans, and Asians all domesticated animals. Living in close proximity to animals creates an environment that allows viruses to jump species so since these people domesticated so many animals they were infected time and time again with many different diseases that originated from animals. European explorers carried these diseases with them to the Americas and then accidentally infected the local population, they didn't know enough about germs to use them as biological weapons. Throughout both North and South America the only animal to be domesticated was the llama and because of this they were never infected with all of the diseases the Europeans were so they did not have natural immunity to them so they died off at an extremely high rate, something like 90% of the population of both continents. Europeans had immunity to these diseases and still died from them so you can imagine what would happen in a population with 0 immunity. In short, the Europeans had a bunch of diseases to spread to the native Americans who didn't have any diseases to give in return.

@ImpeachObamaASAP2010

Жыл бұрын

Also it took 200 years for the population to decline by that 90% it was just in a year or two. If you study the reports from the initial explorers they told of massive cities with huge populations but 200 years later when the colonists started to arrive the cities couldn't be found so they were assumed to be just legends but now we have uncovered the ancient cities in the Amazon

Cannibalism explains a lot about why the gods of the Aztecs required human blood for their existence. Replace the gods with the priestly elites and you have the reason for the continual need for human sacrifice. It has been said that the region lacked a plentiful source of animal protein and that the diet of maze was deficient in protein. Same goes for the Mayans before them. This was how the priests fed themselves a diet of protein. Forget the nonsense about the gods etc. The priestly elites created these myths to justify their actions. This explains a lot about the conflicts of the flower wars and the uprisings among the peasants who supplied the sacrifices with their own bodies. This is a socially destructive practice that is inherently abhorrent.

That story of Moctezuma (motecozoma) being killed by a mob is a lie. If you want the true story of the mexica empire, go talk to elders. They know the true story.

What makes you think that oral tradition relayed through several people over the course of 1,500 years is more credible than written accounts? Oral tradition has been proven to be less reliable. You’re just trying to validate your narrative by lowering the burden of proof and standards with which your proof is measured. We have to approach history objectively, not with an emotionally charged agenda.

¿A qué? ¿A esclavizar y abusar de la gente? O tal vez a humillarlos y hacerlos detestar su propia piel. Pero que bueno que vinieron, si no que hubieran hecho tantos esclavos trabando las minas para mandarle plata al mundo. Y todos los esclavos que exportaron a Europa como curiosidades. ¿Sí, que bueno que vinieron, Si no, quién nos hubiera explotado y maltratado?

The Aztecs do not exist any more. Stop projecting. Do you speak náhuatl, worship Huitzilopochtli, is your name Tlaloc ? While you may certainly look like an indigenous person (I’m assuming), you are no longer an Aztec. You are what you are and simply make the best of it stop trying to hold on to idiotic ideals of antiquity. ¡ Saluditos !

@franciscoalonso3786 Your ignorance and lack of research on the matter has led you to make this comment so I won't hold it against you. Many Mexicans today dont have time or means to do proper research on their ancestry or nation's history, but let me school you... there's an enormous Y chromosome diversity observed in Native American populations. So, although most of the Mexicas/Aztecs were decimated, that doesn't mean that modern Mexicans don't carry the same genetics as the Aztecs did. I, for example, have a DNA of 96% Mesoamerican directly connected to Tenochtitlán or modern-day Mexico City. I have virtually pure Native American blood. And yeah, perhaps I don't know Nahualt, and my name is not Tizoc, but my bloodline and lineage is Mesoamerican. Warrior Pedigree. The Aztecs tribes live through me and many of us here in the U.S. and Mexico, it's literally in the blood and genetics of many of us. Look at the Mexican flag... that prophesy of the eagle with the snake has not been forgotten; it remains and will prevail.💯
