I like that oranges story. It shows a small period of peace, understanding, and legitimate sharing of new things amongst different peoples. It help shows that not every interaction between different groups ends in violence or some scheme. And probably why it stuck out in Diaz’s mind is a combination of that sense of peace and probably a bit of pride as well. That he introduced something that was liked and respected by the natives well enough for them to take care of them and likely spread them further.

Shoutout to all the channels out there making intelligently written, well articulated videos that nobody watches.

[@morganfreeman5260]

cobbler is very good, but a lot of people saying how incredible some videos are haven’t experienced life.

[@MajoraZ]

I do writeups and work with various history and archeology channels with their content on Mesoamerica (The Aztec, Maya, etc), so I wanted to give some clarification and corrections on some stuff here (I also previously left a comment on Cobbler's "What did the Romans think of the Greeks?" video about Aztec stereotypes/views of other Mesoamerican civilizations). Firstly, while all the examples from Bernal Diaz's accounts that Cobbler happens to brings up seem fine/reliable,, I want to further emphasize the issues of bias and unreliability that Bernal Diaz has as a source in other cases: Beyond the obvious problems you'd expect regarding him writing to justify and glorify his own actions, he was also writing many, many decades after the events of the expeditions, which introduces issues with memory, and he was clearly adopting information present in other accounts published in the interim, even when that info was wrong or invented (While Diaz was writing in part to counter accounts such as those published by Gomara, who embellished from Cortes's letters, Diaz actually works in some of those embellishments in his own account), including information that Bernal Diaz wasn't even present for to know. Some researchers go as far as to claim that Diaz wasn't even a part of the Cortes expedition at all, though I wouldn't personally go that far and i'm not sure that assertion would be applicable to the 1517 and 1518 expeditions Cobbler focuses on here. That's not to say I discourage people from reading his account ("The True History of the Conquest of New Spain") but I do think that one should read companion works written by modern historians which analyze the contradictions between different accounts alongside it (or Cortes's letters, the Anonymous Conquerer's account, Tapia's, etc). "7 Myths of the Spanish Conquest" and "When Montezuma Met Cortes", both by Matthew Restall, are good suggestions for that: The former is more a generalized breakdown of common myths and misconceptions, while the latter is more focused on the contradictions and historiography/the ways it has been written about over time for Cortes's meeting with Moctezuma II and stay in Tenochtitlan (The Aztec capital) specifically, as well as the different political factions and dynamics and motivations both on the Spanish and Mesoamerican side. The latter i think is more interesting, especially regarding those competing political interests with different Spanish officials, Conquistadors, Mesoamerican kings, etc all variously using each other against the others, but for somebody not already super familiar with the subject matter, the former is probably more required reading. Additionally, I'd specifically suggest the "History of the Conquest of New Spain" translation by Davíd Carrasco for reading Diaz's account (or the unabridged 1908 AP Maudsley translation if you can find it), as many other printings and translations exclude the campaigns against Maya states in Guatemala and just ends stuff after the fall of Tenochtitlan. Secondly, It should be noted that a lot of the images used here aren't accurate. Some of this is pedantic (the Morion style helmet wasn't used by Conquistadors in these early 16th century expeditions), but when it comes to depictions of Mesoamerican things, they are VERY off to the point of not being visually representative at all. (The thumbnail actually depicts Spanish expeditions in Southeast Asia!) This isn't really Cobbler's fault, since unless you're already a Mesoamerican history nerd who knows the best modern artists tackling the subject who allow their art in videos, or where to get scans of actual Aztec manuscripts (and Cobbler, if you want, I can hook you up with both!); then your only obvious royalty free image options are many century old paintings and sketches made by Medieval, Victorian, etc artists who had never seen anything related to Mesoamerica. But the bottom line is that actual Mesoamerican art, architectural, fashion, etc aesthetics, especially for the Aztec, is almost NOTHING like what those sorts of historical art or most pop culture depictions look like. As an example, the painting at 0:32 depictions Aztec and other Mesoamerican people basically naked in loincloths and Tenochtitlan full of grey, drab buildings cramped together with European style architectural conventions. In reality, men would have worn cloaks/mantles a bit like Greco-roman togas, while women wore baggy blouses (actual accurate art of Aztec noblewomen with their distinctive hair buns and flowy huipil blouses i've seen people mistake for Japanese Geisha) with nobles having them in a variety of colors and with different geometric, floral, animal, and mythological designs and jade, gold, turquoise, and fine feather jewelry and ornaments All of the monumental large scale structures would have been covered in smooth gleaming white stucco, and then painted and accented with murals, reliefs, sculptural facedes, etc. The actual Aztec (and Teotihuacano, to a lesser extent Mixtec, etc) architectural style is, if anything, closer to Minoan palaces at places like Knossos more then anything else (just without multiple stacked floors/stories in most cases) with palaces having square geometric style rooms with flat roofs, and patios with columns surrounding open courtyards, geometric roof trim accents, etc.Tenochtitlan had most of it's temples, palaces, ball courts, etc arranged in a quasi grid layout spaced out around large open plazas (with many botanical gardens, aviaries, zoos, etc built in palace courtyards or around them) with the outskirts being grids of artificial islands housing both commoner homes and acting hydroponic farms with Venice like canals between them. If people want good visual examples of this all, i'd recommend the paintings of Aztec cityscapes by Scott and Stuart Gentling, depictions of Mesoamerican clothing by Kamazotz/Zotzcomic/Daniel Parada, Rafael Mena, OHS688 (some of his art is furry, but the fashion is all accurate), etc. This ties into the third point I want to cover, which is that "Tribe", "Chief", etc really aren't the applicable terms here: Again, we're talking not about drab looking grey temples surrounded by a few huts or jungle, and people naked with feather headdresses, but rather stuff like Minoan Venice x the Hanging gardens of Babylon. These were city-states, kingdoms, and empires, and they had kings, senators (yes, a few Mesoamerican states were republics with senates!), etc, and that had been the case for a long time: Cities, writing etc going back 2500+ years before the Spanish arrived. There were dozens of major civilizations and hundreds of kingdoms and empires that rose and fell before the Aztec even became a thing. Now, again, the video here is talking about the 1517 and 1518 expeditions which included travel to areas in the Caribbean which did have less organized tribal societies (In fact, some of the Spanish accounts in those expeditions excitedly talk about how the natives on the mainland actually...wore clothes!) but most of the places that got mentioned were in Veracruz, Tabasco, the Yucatan, etc, which were inside Mesoamerica. Next, to be clear, the "Axes" that got mentioned here wouldn't have been like actual full hatchets, but rather thin, axehead shaped objects variously made of copper or bronze (yes, Mesoamerica smelted bronze!) known as axe-monies which were used as a standard medium of exchange (not quite a formalized "currency", but close enough). There WERE actual functional metal axes/hatchets too, as well as adzes, but those would have actually had wooden handles/shafts, which the Axe-monies didn't, despite the visual mockups in the video show. (There's additional complications here in that a lot of photos online will show axe monies as if they were functional axeheads, and if metal axes were actually used in warfare as implied in some visual manuscripts or were purely used in domestic/labor contexts is a subject of debate) Regarding animal domestication, there were other domesticated animals in the Americas beyond Alpaca/llamas, Guinea Pigs, and dogs (by the way, I highly suggest people look up the Mesoamerican dog ceramics from Colima): The Maya and I think some groups in West Mexico had domesticated bees used for honey production, and Turkeys were also domesticated in Mesoamerica, used for food. There were also tamed hares/rabbits and deer kept in nature preserves and parks, but they weren't fully domesticated. So the Mesoamericans definitely had access to meats and eggs, though eating meat wasn't as common as it was in Eurasia. On the note of Deer, there's quite a few other reactions we have by Mesoamericans of Spanish things and vis versa. I'm already almost at KZbin's character limit, so sadly I can't give an in depth list of descriptions like I did with Aztec stereotypes/descriptions of other local civilizations, but for example, the Mesoamericans talked about horses as being "large deer", and part of the reason they were so keen on getting Spanish beads is that blue-green stones like turquoise and jade were the most valuable material substances above gold and silver (and fine feathers, though some featherwork art pieces would have been more valuable then even jade/turquoise: Look up the mesoamerican made iridescent feather mosaic paintings produced for the Spanish in the early colonial period to get a sense of how Aztec warsuits, shields, feather blankets/tapestries, etc would have looked!), so blue or green glass beads were seen as similarly valuable. The Mesoamericans called large Spanish boats "floating houses", while you can read Spanish accounts describing rattlesnakes, quetzals, corn, vanilla, chocolate, etc for the first time in their own words. Anyways, i'll probably shoot Dj Cobbler an email so if he does a follow up video as the ending implies he will, I can maybe send some resources for that!

While Spain and its conquests are the topic I’m also gonna plug Matthew Restall and Florine Asselbergs ‘Invading Guatemala’. It’s a compendium and commentary on Spanish, Mayan, and Nahua accounts of the extremely long conquest of Guatemala and the surrounding region, which wasn’t a simple 6 year long war as we might assume but an extremely long process and struggle that took over one-hundred years. Mayan kingdoms in the Peten Basin kicked around for a very long time, the final city being captured by Spain in 1697, several generations after the first Spanish conquests and landings. Genuinely a very good read that isn’t super dry or boring either.

That element is such a human aspect that I love, no matter the grandious events of old there is always an underlying current of humanity, being it wackiness, doubt, insecurity, agendas or the own life of the author bleeding into the pages.

Hay varias historias que son interesantes y fascinantes. Una de mis favoritas es la de la republica de Honduras, en el proceso de formación de una identidad nacional, símbolos nacionales y "mitos" de su origen describen un "cacique" indígena llamado "Lempira". "Lempira" era líder de la tribu "Lenca", descrito como bravo, obstinado, con destacable sentido de liderazgo y astucia. La presencia de los españoles unió a los nativos en una alianza con Lempira como su líder. La historia que Antonio de Herrera y Tordesillas cuenta es una historia donde Lempira es traicionado en un acuerdo de paz con los españoles, un soldado español estaba oculto en un arbusto y con un "arcabuz"(Arquebus) disparo a Lempira matándolo al instante. Esta historia fue literalmente tomada por los fundadores de la nación, Lempira se convirtió en un "Héroe nacional", símbolo de rebeldía contra España, la moneda local de la nación es el "Lempira", uno de sus billetes porta el rostro de Lempira, una provincia de la nación es llamada Lempira. Sin embargo, muchos años después (O mejor dicho recientemente) en México se descubren las escrituras de Rodrigo Ruíz, militar Español que participo en la conquista de Honduras. En ella Rodrigo Ruíz describe como combatió a Lempira y lo mato en combate, no hay mención de acuerdos de paz, ni de traición, ni de haber usado un arcabuz para matar a Lempira no solo eso sino que también se descubre que "Lempira" es un titulo no un nombre "El señor de la sierra" lo que significa que cualquier líder Lenca se puede llamar Lempira.

There was something very beautiful about the orange tree story. It's those little moments, man. Also, that exit song activated memories I had forgotten were there

[@JoeLeone117]

I've been one of your subscribers for a while and I just wanted to let you know that your videos are a pleasure to watch.

[@NoopLocke]

You dropped this at 4am my time. How am i supposed to watch it the pico second you put it out when you do this? Baby, we talked about this.

[@zkmk8593]

13:01 I find it very sweet that even if he was still somewhat joking, that somebody out there truly appreciated the orange story that señor Diaz thought would have been stupid and unimportant

[@snappingshrimp235]

I really loved this video. It clearly took a lot of work, and I really enjoy the way you handled cobbler's presentation: The chair, The globe and The stories. Clearly a deliberate way of representing the very situation of Cortez: He was a man, who traveled the globe and had something to tell. I really like when you take time to add these little things that enhance the way we interact with your narration. And as to Cortez' stories, is great to know that someone like him wrote. More of us should, it might not be as flashy and rethoric as the "Scholars" but it is what you know. That's honesty.

[@jesustyronechrist2330]

Can you imagine being a historian in 2300 and you cite DJ Peach Cobbler as your source?

[@mljesus7743]

An excellent entry. Theres something very relaxing about the seperate episodic tales.

[@Supermatmike]

That story of Diaz planting the orange trees really got me good, I don't know why, but it did.

[@barackobama1625]

Love the channel, great work, keep at it. The 8 bit sound effects in this video make just listening to it very jarring.

[@thehumblehufflepuff4400]

Mmmmmmm.... Small correction. Silk isn't worm barf... I'm fairly sure it comes from their sexual organs which means... Yes it's worse than worm barf.

[@SlungBlade]

Yes, bring me all the historical takes. The finest of unhinged ramblings and ultra coherent informative deep dives. This is the future I was promised, and demand.

[@enzmaka]

Kinda funny that the thumbnail pic does not depict an event in the Americas but in south east asia, The Philippines. Specifically when Magellan was killed by a warrior from Mactan. Another lesser known fact I guess.

[@potatoguy7929]

Wow im ducking speechless. One of your best vids yet.

[@thelordofforeheads2839]

8:45 reminds me of when here in Australia we turned a Rottnest island internment camp, in which many people were tortured and killed, into a cheap motel where tourists can sleep in the former cells in which many experienced their last moments on Earth!

[@ncrvako]

I like how cortez was self aware of his greed. Unlike the anglos, the Spanish never hide their vices in that era.

[@Someone45356]

Also because the Spanish were never a unitary entity. You would have people like Hernan Cortez or Pizarro or Diego de Almagro who were conquistadores, who had not much to do with the spanish crown. And in the case of Pizarro, he fought Diego de Almagro and his lands and people, to then throwing hands with the Spanish crown who intervened and its even why the Spanish managed to take control over the Incan territories. The crown itself was very pro-indigenous going as far back as Isabella la Catolica making decrees and stating how she wanted to protect the natives from abuses. That’s why laws like Las leyes de burgos or las leyes nuevas de 1542 came to fruition. But then there were viceroys like Viceroy Toledo who forced historians and chronists to write excuses as to why the spanish should be taking direct control of the Incan lands. Then after he was gone the chronists who would arrive after would write all sorts of slanders and criticisms of Toledo’s approach and friars would often be the ones who advocated for the wellbeing of the natives. And yet Even within the friars, there was no unity, people like francisco de Vitoria would be openly critical of other friars like Bartolome de Las Casas who did frankly wrote a lot of baloney and deserved the criticism. The whole thing with regards to the Spanish in the americas given how many different factions there were could totally work as multiple game of thrones type series honestly.

[@KaiserCeaser]

The Spaniards were so comically greedy it’s hilarious. I know a story where they searched for gold and found platinum, and they threw tonnes of it into the sea because it wasn’t gold.

[@Hypogean7]

Well, platinum didn't have many uses back then. It's basically silver, but with less luster

[@KaiserCeaser]

@@Hypogean7 true but the story is still funny.

[@ScipiotheAfricanus]

Cortés was he tried to scam the others, when it was time to share the gold among his men he gave them shit, so lttle in fact a lot of them rejected it so they could get a better payment latter.

[@jesterlampoon-t1j]

Just want you to know - I subscribed when I discovered you're military (via "DD214" name drop in older video). As a Vet myself, I'm happy to support a brother. I love your videos and the historical direction they've taken, so please keep up the great work! What branch, if I may be so bold? I'd say, you're too smart to be Army, and you're nose isn't brown enough to be Air Force. However, I can see you being "pissed off" enough to be Marines (Ooh Rah), but you made whole videos about Romans and... Greeks. Go Navy! (Unless of course you were Coast Guard... I wouldn't know how to feel if you were Coast Guard.) Jokes aside, your efforts are appreciated, and I wish you the best. If you're ever in Tennessee, I'd be happy to buy you a drink.

The Spanish supposedly dumped tons of Platinum into the ocean because they thought it was defective Silver, but that could just be British propaganda. And Werstershire sauce is basically Roman Garum, both are fermented fish.

I thought the 3 gs were god,gold, and glory?

[@bubbasbigblast8563]

You are right: the "guns" part makes no sense until the later half of the 17th century. Still, it's not that wrong either, since the key part of the "glory" revolves more around shipping than national prestige, and it was cannons that enabled both reliable expansion, and defense.

The siege of tenochtitlan has a funny trebuchet and cavalry charge on flagstones stories which as far as I am aware are largely based in fact. This account from Bernal seems fun to read. I will see if I can find a copy of the original online.
