Mayapan: Urban Life at the Last Maya Capital

[@Deeplycloseted435]

How amazing would it be to see these cities at their peak, with people everywhere?

[@postnutdrift]

yeah?

[@Priyo866]

This is just amazing! How come does this not have more views?

[@choosechoice3165]

Excellent interviews

[@HVLLOW99]

Kinda off topic but this video got me thinking. I long to see Tenochtitlan in 1,515 or something just before the Spanish get their. It would be amazing. Also It would be cool to see what the Aztec ruins would look like if the capital of New Spain was built on the coast like at veracruz or something. If Tenochtitlan would have been abanded and left to nature what it would look like after 400 years because by the early 1900s I think the Mexican government would most likely salvage it. I assume parts of it would be sinking or sunk under lake Texcoco. I think it would be a tourist hot spot on par with Angkor Wat.

[@dsharpness]

Neat clip...came by looking for modern replica illustrations of the miniature temples of the five niches mural...I found one on google search...mayapan murals...somehow this place links to the Puuk towns, and Monte Alban...there are the gold pectorals with similar headdresses...these said to be in the Mixtec codexes...try now to look at Mayapan censors...I gather lore about the motifs, which can be as small as an ear spool, to the layout of a town...or as explained here, the layout of one family's little ranchette..clip alludes that this layout, motif, alludes to the town layout, motif..allusions what motifs, and archaeologists, are made of!...clips' discussions limited by time, I understand...comment sections' seem to be limitless, but so frustratingly att phone help like!😕

[@isabellam1936]

I looked for 'Ixpete volcano' where they went for obsidian in Google Maps and Google, nothing came up. Does it go by another name?

[@rickecheverria8052]

Try looking for " IXTEPEQUE"

We are fortunate that we have the United Nations Declaration of the Rights of Indigenous Peoples. The United Nations Declaration of the Rights of Indigenous Peoples has 46 articles under it.

What is name of the non- Mayan people of the Gulf Coast, Olmec ?

[@PluralOfSillyGoose]

There was the Aztecs and the unorganized tribes often referred to in Nahuatl (Aztec language) as Chichimec (essentially the same thing as Rome’s use of the word barbarians)

Reasonably informative (there was no obvious misiinformation) but unwatchable. Panning across and zooming in and out of static images arbitrarily are examples of, at best, ignorant video production, especially when unsed in the context of an educational format. Best listened to whilst going to bed...

[@naiduvga1612]

mayappan is also a deity in hinduism. maya is what you see but is not there.

[@botmexicanpatriot]

Not even related at all

[@giuseppelogiurato5718]

There is no crime in being 100% monolingual, and this guy is as unapologetically monolingual as one can be (I don't think he could pronounce Spanish, let alone any Mayan language, but it's ok, because he obviously knows that he can't, and he doesn't try, because it is ultimately unimportant to the point of the video. It's better to admit defeat than to try half-heatedly. I would rather hear someone pronounce EVERYTHING wrong, rather than hearing someone get half of everything half-right. I'm already loving it 20 seconds in, because he doesn't try to pronounce "Mayapan" in the typical pretentious "correct" way... when people try to do it right and fail, it's more annoying than when people just admit that they can't and they don't even try... (I am familiar with the Nahuatl languages more than I am with the Mayan ones, but the pitfalls are similar.)

[@asianthor]

Mayapan is not 100% Maya, it's Maya/Toltec.

[@HVLLOW99]

Didn't the Toltec rulers get kicked out after a while. I'm sure some Toltec immigrants stayed though and influenced some culture or Maybe they all assimilated to Mayan culture.

Is Asia is 100% Mongolian?
