12:16 No, Joe, Mexicans were NOT conquered by the Spaniards...the Aztecs were. Mexicans are the result of Spaniards absorbing and mixing with whatever remnants were left of the indigenous population of Mexico. This happened in the course of three hundred years (1521-1821). In some areas in Mexico, particularly in the South and Southeastern regions of the country, indigenous communities became isolated and kept their language, culture, and traditions to a high degree. In the Central region, the intermarriage between the indigenous people and the Spanish settlers occurred at a much higher rate. In some other areas (i.e. Northern and Western Mexico), there wasn't that much mixing between Spaniards and indigenous people because there weren't that many indigenous people to begin with...which is why the European admixture here can go up to 70% or more, on average. Nonetheless, I would like to thank you for at least bringing Mexico and its history up for discussion in your show.

One thing, Teotihuacan was not built by the Aztecs/Mexicas. By the time they entered the valley of Mexico, Teotihuacan had already been abandoned. Aztecs were nomads, and settled in current day Mexico City. It is believed that the Aztecs were among people that migrated from Arizona and were the modern day Hopi. Other than that, I really recommend everyone go to Teotihuacan and if they’re around Mexico City visit “El Templo Mayor” which was actually built by Aztecs/Mexicas.

[@MrErickloli]

I understand that they were trying to settle and were kind of mistreated by everyone already there. So they got to become tough and militar so they could be respected.

My impulse, if I were in that conversation is to fact check them constantly, because they are saying some VERY wrong things. I'm sure It would blow their minds that Aztecs are originally from the American Southwest, and migrated to the Mexico plains in 500AD. Teotihuacan was finished is 300AD, so it wasn't built by the Aztecs. But they later found the structure and renamed it Teotihuacan. The Aztec Empire started in the 1400s (Cortez appeared in 1519). Once the Aztecs proved their dominance over a tribe, that tribe has to pay a tribute to them, part of that tribute is sending people to be sacrificed. Aztec were pretty hard core into human sacrifices, compared to other tribes, because in their religion/mythology, Gods fed on human blood, and not giving them sustenance would mean the sun would stop rising and chaos would prevail. As for Spanish Conquistadors: they didn't fight the Aztecs alone. They had a lot of help from the Tlaxcalans and the Cempoalans who didn't like the Aztecs. As for the Spanish themselves, they were catholics. In Christianity, there are no human sacrifices (there's a symbolic one), so for them, the Indians were like devil worshippers because ...I mean, you watch any guy getting his heart ripped out of his chest, and you're going to think "Wow! The people doing this are seriously fucked in the head".

[@tornaperinso1484]

@Ocelotl Huitztecol Should you go on? Did you think you made a point? You named waste control through public services, public bathrooms, aqueducts and the size of the city. Waste control, public services and sanitation were probably better than in Europe and Tenochtitlan was a large city, no doubt about it, although size itself does not grants a civilization the term advanced, rather just large. On the other hand public bathrooms and aqueducts existed in Rome 1000 years earlier, along with the use of cement, building apartment complexes, bronze working, iron working, seafaring, etc. There are 5 to 10 advances that were available in the Old World and not in the Aztec Empire for each one that you can count the other way. Again, considering the Mesoamerican civilizations "advanced" directly in comparison with the state of the "advanced" Empires of the old world in the XVI century is incorrect. BTW, you can add public education to the list of things the Aztecs had implemented that was not seeing as such in Europe until much later. I'm not calling them primitive, they were more advanced than some European regions, more than almost all of Africa, more than the tribers from the asian plains.

I’m from Mexico, and it’s always hard to explain why I have hazel eyes. It’s like people skipped world history in school.

Civil discourse ?? Thats only in the US where most Mexicans now are illegal or children of illegals that are by far most usually brown of indigenous background...even if some have hazel eyes. You go to Mexico and there are hispanic 100% white people fir the most part like in the big cities. Doesnt mean youre 100% white bc you have hazel eyes. Americans are just used to the poor mixed or otherwise people

The Mayans and Aztecs were amazing cultures. They were incredibly advanced in many ways., but savage, cruel and primitive in others. Cortes gets villianized , but he was incredibly brave and he was serving his King. But, the Aztecs cruelty to other tribes was part of their demise. Cortes was able to recruit thousands of natives to his cause. The Aztecs enslaved, killed and sacrificed untold thousands of natives. We really can't judge them using modern standards and ethics.

My fondest memory of childhood was climbing to the top of the Aztec pyramids. On my bucket list to do it again.
