As a history geek and a Mexican who’s obsessed with his indigenous ancestry, I’ve been dying for Hollywood to make a perfect film on the conquest of Latin America. Mexicos entire history, dating back to pre-conquest, is it’s very own entire series of Game Of Thrones, I shit you not! It’s intense, bloody, corrupt, betrayal, filled with redemption, honorable, remarkable - all in one.

Do you realize how hard it would be to emulate or even figure out their lifestyle back then? They didn't have books or paintings like we had. The history is so sparse.

[@DCM88]

Typical anglosaxon bs propaganda. The spaniards were not the ones with extermination fetishes unlike the anglos and dutch. even Charles Darwin's grand dad admired the Iberian system. “In my study trips I have been amazed at how the Spaniards treat the Indians, like similars, even forming mixed families and creating hospitals and universities for them. I have met indians that were mayors, also bishops and even soldiers, wich results in the social peace, well-being and general happiness that we would like for us in the territories that, with so much effort, we are taking from the Indians. It seems that the London fogs cloud our hearts and minds, while the clarity of sunny Spain makes them see and hear God better. My lords, you should consider the policy of depopulation and extermination since, clearly, Spanish faith and intelligence are building not an empire of death like us, but a civilized society that will eventually end up imposing itself as a divine mandate. Yes, it is painful to recognize that Spain is the wise Greece and the imperial Rome, while we, the Kingdom of Great Britain, look like the evil Turkish corsair, eager for plunder”.

[@fhcalderon]

@@DCM88 Actually the initial colonizers were a bunch of criminals which is what the spanish crown lent to Columbus. Their disorganized settlement has even been traced back as one of the reasons of why corruption is so prevalent across Latin america. The anglos might have come with a more straightforward "cleansing" plan because they needed it to clear way for farming, latter industrialization, etc. The iberians might not have had that intention, but did it anyways through the diseases they brought which on their own killed millions.

[@unclescipio3136]

The Aztecs had wheels, it's just that they're not very useful when the terrain is mostly rivers and mountains. Heavy transport took place by boat. They didn't have horses or oxen to pull heavy carts, so a wheel has limited utility. They were used mostly for toys.

With Cook and other Eurpean explorers being discredited and vilified for their incursions into the Pacific, a Pacific perspective is welcome, but is subject to tribal and regional prejudices that may be detrimental in establishing a clear and honest appraisal of the situation.

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. And they gain their respect, building a city on a lake, and subjugating other through militar campaings, but also gained their fear and resentment.

I think Aztecs initially, having never seen horses before, believed that an armored man on a horse was one large animal. Perhaps a godlike fusion of man and beast. "Aztec", a novel by Gary Jennings, is an epic and well-researched historical fiction novel and should be read by anyone interested in Aztec life and culture. That is, as we understand it...

[@xbadmouthx]

The mesoamerican cultures knew about the wheel. They have found toys in ruins with wheels. There just wasnt a massive domesticated animal in the americas to be able to pull things.

[@loganrobicheau7593]

Ya, probably confusing Mexican aboriginals with American and Canadian

[@kevinmarshall59]

Yeah but they didn’t use the wheel the way that would have been most useful. I don’t buy the idea that you needed beasts of burden to have the wheel be applied. There were all kinds of human pushed and pulled carts around Europe and Asia and Africa and I feel like being able to push and pull stuff as a human should have reason enough to apply the wheel as a tool to say the wheel barrow or human powered carts. What you’re saying is like saying Leif Erickson discovered the Americas which yeah he landed here but did not know the significance of his landing.

Teotihuacan wasn't built by the Aztecs. It was built a thousand years before the Aztecs migrated to that region. The Aztecs saw it as an ancient mystery they could explain no more than we can, though they did name the site, Teotihuacan. Joe is correct about the thousands of sacrifices - the Aztecs were bloodthirsty in that respect; but that had nothing to do with Teotihuacan.

[@diaryofanaxeman539]

Teotihuacan was a multi ethnic city of a population of 200,000 plus. Cultures in the city were Zapotec, Tarascan, Maya, Shoshonian ethnic people as far north as the US Southwest and had goods as far as Brazil and mica from the Great Lakes region.

[@MrErickloli]

That's right. Although Teotihuacan is a name given by archeologists, not by the aztecs. Olmecs were the real civilization, everyone else took beliefs and knowledge from them. Aztecs were one of the many cultures living at the time, who imposed themselves over others already there with their organized military structure.

After the formalities, Moctezuma: It seems some members of my council believe that certain obscure prophecies are fulfilled with your arrival, *General* Cortés. But I see a man before me, not a god. Cortés: Belief is a powerful ally, Lord Moctezuma, although I share your skepticism about my godhood. However, your mortal enemies, the fierce Tlaxcalteca, with an army 200,000-strong, now believe that myth. Of course, enlightenment came to them only after we decimated their army. Moctezuma: Yes, I have heard of your exploits and adventures in the provinces. Please be my honored guest so that we may further discuss the political future of the land; perhaps we can reach some sort of arrangement.
