MIND-BLOWING Encounter Between CONQUISTADORS and MAYA!

[@alfredosenalle9284]

We all know the Spaniards had cannon and the harquebus with them , but they also had them in very few numbers not to mention how slow they were to reload. When thousands of Indian warriors came rushing at you from all sides , after that first arquebus shot , there was no time to reload for a second. I'm sure the Spanish rapier sword had more to do in these conquests than we give it credit for.

[@Corndogg316]

True. I bet 90% of the mortality on the native side was from good old fashioned puncture wounds, blood loss from spears and swords. You couldn’t get a reload off in a melee like that.

Los españoles eran superhombres, fuertes, valientes e inteligentes para conseguir aliados indigenas en sus incursiones y exploraciones. Las armas de fuego que llevaban los conquistadores solo eran para asustar. Las flechas envenenadas eran más eficaces. No llevaban rifles Winchester como el 7º de caballería.😊

El tipico vidio inglés de los enemigos de la Hispanidad pero que no habla de la crueldad de los ingleses ybsu segregacion racial y el exterminio de indígenas que practicaban

[@marcolfo100]

(domando scusa se non hablo castellan e sono costretto a rispondere in italiano) e dimentica anche che gli spagnoli incontrarono una società maya in stato comatoso,uscita dalle guerre che erano culminate nel sacco di Mayapan nel 1441,non furono gli spagnoli a distruggere la civiltà maya,che si era distrutta da sè quanto all'Impero Azteco,una brutale oppressione ,una vera ''prigione di popoli''per dirla con le parole (nel suo caso false)di Lenin sulla Russia zarista,infatti Cortes fu accolto come un liberatore e tra i 100.000 uomini che assediavano Tenochtitlan nel 1521 gli spagnoli erano meno di 1.000 La spaventosa strage della seconda metà del '500 fu dovuta alle malattie europee contro le quali gli indios non avevano anticorpi,ma era un fenomeno non ancora noto alla medicina di allora

[@martinhughes2637]

I agree. Guerrero’s choice was not some noble resistance to “colonial oppression”, it was a merely pragmatic decision - what he deemed to be the most viable option for his circumstances, given that he was now married and had children within the Mayan tribe.

What a wheed induced fantasy, by the time the Spanish arrived in America the Mayan civilization had already collapsed a few hundred years earlier .Mayan Cities were already in abandon in Ruins

[@MysteriousOrigins1]

The large cities were collapsed but there were still Maya people just as there are today. It took the Spanish 200 years to defeat the Maya guerilla resistance

[@marcolfo100]

after the sack of Mayapan il 1441 there was no more Maya Civilization

[@alfredosenalle9284]

​@marcolfo100 Where there still Russian people left after the falling of communism in 1989 ? Just an example so you can correlate..

Maya or Aztec?

[@ricolaw1033]

@@wayneorellana2549 Mayans were on the Yucatán peninsula. Aztecs were not. They Coexisted during the same time but the Maya was an earlier civilization and was on the decline by the time the Spanish got there.

[@wayneorellana2549]

Very cool, thank you for that. I honestly thought that their empire had already collapsed by this point. Thank you for the clarification.

Aztec , Mayans gone years before spanish arrived i read

@@wayneorellana2549 one thing to keep in mind , that the descendants are still very much alive. It may seem obvious but there’s people who believe they’re extinct because of its peak civilization downfall.

[@wayneorellana2549]

@Thehabanero_ Thanks for that. I was literally just watching Ancient America's latest video called the Maya Collapse when the notification of your comment popped up. Along with the comments here, it was very useful.

How can it be when the Mayan civilisation was pretty much collapsed by 950 AD?

[@MysteriousOrigins1]

Their Empire was collapsed but Maya people still lived in smaller towns and maintained their traditions and language. Just like when the Roman Empire collapsed, there were still Romans.

[@argonaught5666]

​@@MysteriousOrigins1I understand that, I just wasn't aware that they gave the Spanish any significant organized resistance.
