For the sake of being tasteful this video neglected to discuss what happened to women who died in childbirth: the widowed husband would take his deceased wife to the Temple of the Princesses, where he and the midwife would have to guard her corpse for four days against theft by warriors. Should they fail, the warriors would claim her corpse and use her hair and left middle finger to decorate their shields. Mexica women who died in childbirth were conceptualized as warriors in their own right, battling the forces of nature to contribute another member to their empire. Therefore, portions of their bodies taken as trophies were powerful talismans aiding warriors in battle.

Rod Diaz, both warriors and women dying in childbirth went to Tonatiuh-Ilhuicac, and served as the sun’s entourage; the warriors from morning until noon, and the women, known in death as the Cihuateteo, from noon until evening. The Cihuateteo, in spite of their deified status, were nevertheless dangerous, as having been deprived of motherhood themselves, they were eager to steal children (generally the misbehaving ones). I have read that they’re potentially the inspiration behind La Llorona.

Fun fact: the aztec warriors, when killed, would reincarnate as hummingbirds, for it is one of the animals associated with Huitzilopochtli, the god of war and fifth Sun. The human sacrificies we made during those times were held because aztecs had an extremely blood-centric religion: the gods didn't have any. So, we made sacrifices so the blood would bring strenght to Huitzilopochtli, in order to help the Sun run across the sky, for if it ever lacked enough energy, his brothers the stars and his sister, the Moon, would catch up to him and kill him. Of course, as a god he would not die, (his mom was beheaded and his sister was torn apart), but the moment he was killed, all humanity would cease to be. And also, the sacrifices would feed the Earth, for nature is a savage being with an almighty power over all living things, and would cause earthquakes when hungry. And that's why aztecs sacrified people every now and then.

@@mr.e3894 not really, Mexico comes from the full name of Tenochtitlan which was Mexico-Tenochtitlan, after the spaniards conquered the Mexica they renamed the city to "Mejico-Tenustitlan" and eventually dropped the second part to just call it "Mexico" or "Ciudad de Mexico". After the independence Emperor Iturbide wanted to name the new nation in a similar way to how the Roman empire was named after its capital so he proposed the name of "Imperio Mexicano" (Mexican Empire) for the independent New Spain which stuck and became the official name of the country (the original independence movements actually propsed the name of "The United Provinces of North America"), after the republicans organized a coup and exiled Iturbide they decided to keep the name and just turn the country into a republic (The Mexican Republic or the United Mexican States after the American backed regimes). The word "Mexica" comes from "Mexi" which was one of the names used by the war god Huitzilopochtli and "ca" which means "people of" so their name meant "People of Mexi/Huitzilopochtli", the word Mexico (or Mēxihco) actually comes from a portmanteau of "Meztli" (moon), "xīctli" (navel or center) and "co" (place) which would translate to "Place in the center/navel of the moon" which is a poetry like way to say "in the center of lake Texcoco", the Tenochtitlan parts comes from the name of a very important mexica leader called Tenoch.

At the beginning, it didn't make sense to me, but then I realized this : On the equinox (between summer and winter), the sun rises exactly in the east, so right between the two temples. In summer, the sun rises a bit more north, so behind the summer temple, and in the winter, it rises a bit more south, so behind the winter temple. That's a nice way to include a seasonal calendar into your cityscape. I wish we had architecture like that, it would be exciting !

That twist ending... It does allow the powerful and intricate roles the themes of life and death played in Aztec society to be on full display.

Life anywhere in pre-colonial Central and South America seems like it was pretty crazy. I really love how you guys make each video unique to it’s subject and setting.

Thank you TedEd for another great episode! I remember watching somewhere that it's hard to find documents on how midwives performed successful deliveries. Midwives were mostly illiterate just as they were able to successfully deliver babies. It's nice to watch how these women could've gone in by in a day of their lives.

life as an aztec would probably be pretty chill if we ignore the whole human sacrifice part
@Nuaheal6 ай бұрын
Sacrifices were only made in 12 days each year and there were very few people; the most important Mexica temple would not have had more than 3,000 victims in more than a century of existence. And its total capacity was approximately 6,000 skulls, which was what was stored, but it was not full. What was not peaceful was their culture, which was based on being warmongers.
