at 1:04:38 In Mesoamerican iconography white and black represent the night, or solar death. on the edges of Motewksoma's cloak he has the white-spot on black background imagery like on a monarch butterfly's wings, which are a metaphor for the night sky/Solar death. this new cloak indicates his death.

I had a problem with this lecture. I couldnt find evidence of the huipilli coming with malinche; to my knowledge it existed in that area in preCortesian times.

19:43 " He gave us all this knowledge"- it's disgusting, how about we celebrate the people who actually had the knowledge and have the knowledge today.
