Teotihuacán

[SmudgeOfficialUK]

what is the backing track to this video?

[1980vince]

the aztecs were ready made gods

[swaapo]

a good place to let a freak slop all over my cock

[Damondeeh20]

was this aztec or maya?

[salvadorascencio]

@Damondeeh20 Neither aztec nor maya. Nobody knows it.

[Damondeeh20]

@salvadorascencio wow they dont kno who built this? very interesting.

[salvadorascencio]

@Damondeeh20 Yes indeed, Teotihuacan was abandoned centuries before

the aztecs saw it in their way to Tenochtitlan. They neither knew the history

of that city.

[Damondeeh20]

@salvadorascencio very coo, Im very interesed in this stuff, its amazing how they dont know.

[salvadorascencio]

@Damondeeh20 It's very rare, but over the years, archaeological

excavations and researches have not revealed almost

none of the results, a couple of years ago it was in Teotihuacan a Japanese archaeologist investigating a camera beneath the pyramid of the moon and showed almost nothing of the results.

[Damondeeh20]

@salvadorascencio damn thats crazy but I wonder who lived there, thanks for educating me because I love reading and researching this stuff. Are there any more ruins like this that were neither aztec or maya? Because we assume every site is mayan.

[salvadorascencio]

@Damondeeh20 There are no other archaeological sites of the size and importance of Teotihuacan, at least in Mexico, but there are

other ancient sites that are not Maya, for example, the Olmec, Toltec, Mixtec, Zapotec and others, who left interesting buildings, sculptures and many useful and artistic objects. In addition it is estimated that there are over 1000 archaeological sites not yet studied.

[Damondeeh20]

@salvadorascencio oh yea I heard there were a couple ruins in El Salvador and many in Guatamala mostly Mayan I suspect but there are a couple in Mexico that are from others in mexico that were from other civilazations but none s imressive as this. Just make you wonder who where theses people and where did they go.

[salvadorascencio]

@Damondeeh20 True, and did you know than the Mayan cities as Peten in Guatemala, Copan in Honduras, Tazumal in El Salvador and Altun Ha in Belize, had trade with Teotihuacan? By the way, one of the favorite Mayan ruins are Tikal.

[Damondeeh20]

@salvadorascencio no I didnt know, but it seem like they were all connected, they all traded with eachother, they believe the Tazumal ruins had influence from others.

[salvadorascencio]

@Damondeeh20 You are right. Tazumal is particularly interesting because at a time,

was part of the Toltec Empire, and also was influenced by Teotihuacan and Copan.

[Damondeeh20]

@salvadorascencio wasnt that Tazumal where they burned victims? and wasnt that temple used by others too?

[salvadorascencio]

@Damondeeh20 Hey, it seems you know about Tazumal, in fact, that´s what

Tazumal precisely means in k´iche languaje, and yes, was used by others.

[Damondeeh20]

@salvadorascencio yea I been doing my research, who used the Tazumal temple?

[salvadorascencio]

@Damondeeh20 I'm glad you're doing to re-read on this site so interesting that has a history of more than 3000 years.Other Tazumal inhabitants were the tribes Pipiles from Mexico, who spoke the Nahuatl language and lived there during the Post-classic.

[Damondeeh20]

@salvadorascencio oh ok very interesting stuff, my teacer visited many of those sites including the Tazumal telling us ow it was thousands years old and how black it us from the fire.

[Damondeeh20]

@salvadorascencio tikal is beautiful and impressive I like the chichen itza and the niches but there are many more like

[pumasgoya]

your ancestral land? you have an English name. Why not have an "ancestral" name to go with your claim?

[DaughterOfZion92]

Its so beautiful!

I hope that one day I can visit the places where my ancestors once walked.

[vervakovskys1]

yes, even you can fall from the moon pyramid, well at least i can

[nzane22Annette2]

you guys think its still possible to go up the pyramid?

[danbit5]

history is a wonderful thing, hope im not the only body to spot to mug shots of people on that thing.?

[gregoriokafka]

Teotihuacan is a nahuatl name. The original name of its builders is unknown.

[CliveKoopa]

Cortez was a bastard, how could he destroy a civilization so beautiful?

[deborahbetty58]

Human nature?

[LaSantaMuerte]

Yes he was indeed. We meet again clive, and I see you are expanding your knowledge on the ixachitlacatl (indigenous people of the "americas") cultures.

[LaSantaMuerte]

I will elaborate a bit more so you truly understand what Teotihuacan was; Teotihuacan wasnt exactly the place where "men become gods", originally the word "teotl" meant marvelous, but when the spaniards arrived they mistakenly took it as theo which in greek means god, so originally teotihuacan meant "the place where men become marvelous".

[LaSantaMuerte]

The reason why it was called teotihuacan was because that was the place where people went to study, to get educated. People from all over ixachitlan (the "americas") went to teotihuacan to become "marvelous". All of the cultures in ixachitlan are connected because of this, whether you are inca, creek, sioux, nahua, maya... etc. There are historical accounts of ixachitlacatl from the "US" traveling to teotihucan to study agriculture.

[LaSantaMuerte]

The "temples" showed in this video werent exactly "temples" where people worshipped "gods". The "temples" where actually universities where lectures on astronomy, mathematics, agriculture , linguistics... etc took place.

[cyclonecyclone123]

@CliveKoopa Lo sé, pero eso fue lo que hicieron la mayoria de los europeos, no sabian el valor cultural de estas civilizaciones.

[CliveKoopa]

@cyclonecyclone123 I'm sorry I don't speak Spanish. Could you re-write your comment in English please. Thank you.

[cyclonecyclone123]

@CliveKoopa I said: I know, but that was what they did most Europeans. They didn't know the cultural value of these civilizations.

[ACDCNORWAY2]

@CliveKoopa Trueeee!

[MixtecaConJaguar]
