Does Spanish Inquisition who tortured and killed systematically and the Witch Hunt ring a bell?? How about the near-extintion of native americans?? 16th century Europe was as savage as native Mesoamerican cultures, but for different reasons. Not that I'm saying that the aztec sacrifices were something good, at least not on our standards, they believed it was needed to maintain the universe balanced.
Even better as a victory, some dumb indians want to get revenge with the dumb Aztec and the clever white man just ordered and organized his indian alliance in way a that will gain them victory, this victory was so great by the Spainish Army, so much better if you don't have to get your hand dirty to win, that to me is a glorious victory.
Spanyerds may have been after conquest,but they weren't nearly as evil as the Aztecs & they were willing to kill women & children but the Spanyerds Catholic belief's. Would never allow them to kill women & children,to the conqured tribes of the Aztec empire,the Spanyerds were offering a better deal because they weren't nearly as brutal as the Aztecs.
@crypter27 yeah but wasnt it the spanish who enslaved natives and africans working them to death and having millions more die in the slave trade on boats. Some Christians they were..
@crypter27 Catholics never killed women and children? Are you serious? I know of few if any people professing a certain religion not willing to kill or enslave others for personal gain or to promote their doctrine and to say that their god approved of or demanded it. And if it were the belief of the Aztecs that it was glorious to offer yourself as a sacrifice that is no different than Jesus offering himself as a sacrifice to save the world.
@crypter27 I think I said that. But I also said the Aztecs and even other MesoAmericans. even some of the ones being sacrificed, believed in the practice.
@Skybaby79 I didn't say all were. We are studying this in history now and there have been several sources that stated just as this did that in certain times the warriors themselves volunteered for the honor; they knew that in battle they were likely to die anyway and their religious beliefs supported the need for the sacrifices. These people gave their own children under dire circumstances. Yes their enemies struggled, and if they stumbled they were hauled up by their hair, yes.
I do not believe that Aztecs were barbarian at all, but even there were so what about Americans today? Aztecs will shame really about the crimes Americans do every day around the world... The question is who is the real barbarians indeed? Only in Hiroshima they killed 150,000 innocent men, women and children within a matter of few seconds.
@sunearthmoonjupiter I'm sorry but I'm calling bull. Americans, have never performed a systematic mass sacrifice of 20,000 people by cutting out their hearts while the victim screamed in agony from the pain. The atomic bomb, as bad as it was on the people of Hiroshima, is a more desirable fate than having to march up a staircase listening to the screams of victims having their chests sliced open and their hearts ripped out, knowing that within a matter of minutes the same was to happen to you.
hold on a second, on the previous parts they said the warriors who were waiting in line to be sacrificed did so quietly cause they also agreed that dying that way was more glorious or whatever, so why would they insurge against the aztecs and help the spanish who had a totally different view of things? this neighbour insurgency and the thousands of sacrifices arent really making sense together.....
@Lightblinder i think because the aztecs wrote down what they thought about the sacrifice victims who knows maybe they did think it was an honor but maybe the spaniards lied about the neighbooring cities maybe the spaniards forced them
If you believe that you are so superior go back to living in the jungle and performing human sacrifice. Leave the white mans internet, medicine, cars and clothes behind. Hypocrites.
People act like the Aztec were the only people in Mesoamerica that sacrificed people. Captured Aztec prisoners were sacrificed to the gods of the enemy nation. The Maya did it way back to the Classic Period.
@HoundofOdin agreed, tell these anthropologist motherfuckers man. They say Apocalypto is not historically accurate, but like you said....the Mayans did do it!
Not all the ancient mesoamericans were sick and twisted, though. That's why so many other Native groups rebelled against the Aztecs. And, as they just said, the Spanish did not massacre them all by themselves; they only defeated the Aztecs with the help of the other Natives.
The ancient mesoamericans, including (especially) the Aztecs, had a profoundly sick religion. The behavior of mesoamerican priests was comparable to the behavior of serial killers in modern times, including flaying the skin off their victims and wearing them. Their downfall was inevitable from the minute Cortez got off his ship, not because Cortez' victory was inevitable but the victory of European Civilization was inevitable.
oh what ever "the Aztec civilization burnt out like a comet." The Spanish came and massacred them. Besides all we know about the Aztecs is a westernized view.
Face it, all people do horrible things. It is only the scale that differs. What scale these people committed atrocities on depended mostly on their power.
Fuckin lames coming on here and talking their trash these are your true barbaric idiots that have for so long been accomodated for their foolish and false philosophies. Long live the Ancient ones.
I hate how the history books just tell u that the spaniards defeated the aztecs single handedly but in reality like this video shows they had 100,000 natives to help the 500 spanish defeat the aztecs.
@123eschof and lets face it AMERICANS KILLLED THE ENTIRE NATIVE AMERICAN POPULATION WHILE A DEMOCRACY.. WHERE as the Spanish (not a democracy at the time!) just forced their beliefs on the native americans.. without putting them on reservations and by actually giving the LAND BACK and leaving the continent. Yet the Spanish and columbus get all the brunt of the blame for the treatment of the native people of North America! wwow really?
BTW the native people of Mexico and Central Americas are still there...look at the faces of people. The culture got destroyed. The people who wants to continue with that culture also got destroyed with it. Other tribes remained... Would you want human sacrifice to continue today?
I don't understand why people hate the Spanish and European so much. If you look at things objectively the Aztec already predicted their doom, their society was run by demons that required human blood. In addition their downfall was due to a civil war with neighboring tribe with the help of the Spanish. Mexican are not decendants of Aztecs they the hybrid of Spanish and natives. The Spanish are the dads and the natives are the moms. Whats the big deal. Don't hate your daddy!
@romgtr The Spaniards raped the New World both figuratively and literally. They stripped the land of gold ans silver en masse,enslaved the natives including their"allies" suppressed the native languages and religion etc. Many native women were outraged by the conquistadors and Spanish colonists bearing children of rape. Who in their right mind would embrace a rapist? Would you?
Well evrery culture and country on this earth has it's own "Shameful' bloody past. The germans killing the jew. The Japs beheading people with samurai swords. the U.S nuking the japs. In present day the U.S tortures and invade's Iraq and islam people also currently doing beheadings.
The guy should of said "lives on in the people of Mexico CITY, not MEXICO country, since most of Mexico country do not descend from Aztecs nor have any traditions associated with the Aztecs. The finale of the video is moot...why would you want THAT culture to live ON? What is this ? I thought everybody was happy Hitler was gone, if so, why would you want the bloody Aztec culture to live on? It never lived on, but it has been given rebirth by supra nationals and political irrationalities.
the spainiards could never have beaten the aztecs just look at the numbers of the aztecs and the deadly weapons i wouldent wanna be a conquistador i am sure you all have heard of la noche triste the spainiards got slaughtered big time
In the end Mexico adopted Spanish language and catholic religion making the Spaniards teaching the natives some civilisation as now human sacrifice is forbidden in Mexico.
Spanish taught the Aztec civilization? The Spanish who were disease ridden, sexually repressed, and slaughtered thousands of their own people just for being a "heretic"? Those guys taught the Aztec, who bathed twice a day, had running water, and the biggest city in the world at the time about civilization? You are a fucking idiot if you really think that.
Um, yes it was, I've done the research. It was bigger than any city in Europe or Asia. The Inca had cities too, but they were all smaller. The Maya had small cities during this period, but nothing major. Austrailia had no cities or towns until much later. Polynesia was still tribal with some large villages, but had no cities.
Granted, but that was a dead civilization by this period. During THIS PERIOD, not all of history, just THIS PERIOD, Tenochtitlan was the largest city in the world with a population of 300,000 people.
@HoundofOdin not at all Europeans may have been a bit brutish but they were in my opinion about 2 thousand years ahead in technology. Just look into Europe in 15-16 centuries. There is no comparison . Even the weakest & smallest nations on outskirts of Europe had book printing by this time
Yes its,the conquered natives allied with the Spainiards & the one thing that wasn't mentioned. The aztecs wore amor,made from soaked cotton seed,not as strong as the spainiards mind you. But it was an advantage over native tribes!
@Anton1941 You people are so much in denial, you will believe anything to get out from under being defeated by a handful of whites. Now you say "Oh it wasn't the Spanish it was the only other natives that had risen up in rebellion." If that was the case, how did the Spanish take total control and eventually annihilate all of those allies?
It was because they were superior strategists and unbelievably courageous. The Spaniards were superior fighters end of story.
Does Spanish Inquisition who tortured and killed systematically and the Witch Hunt ring a bell?? How about the near-extintion of native americans?? 16th century Europe was as savage as native Mesoamerican cultures, but for different reasons.
