Conquistadors - The fall of the Aztecs 2/5 (CC)

[Mistermax30]

The Christian god is not mercureal or cruel? If that isn't the joke of the century, I'll never hear it...

[emiliog04]

My brothers Mexicans!! our 6th sun is coming the Cuauhtemoc profecy is ready to be fulfilled...

[92054USA]

gold is a soft metal morons not hard anough to make weapons outta them 

[Noodles37UK]

That cactus drink, was it pulque? I checked it out a month ago and it just seems like a very strong beer. I'm sorry but you'd need to give me a whole bottle of whisky to take the edge off being done in lol

[samita808]

"aztec gods were not like christian ones." last time I checked Michael Wood, the Christian god was vengeful, jealous, hot-headed. An old patriarch in the sky who points his finger and smites.

[sandog39]

gold is good and evil!

[dab0331]

man the aztecs were fucked up cannibals. thank god for spain.

[vilane421]

The Aztec built pyramids but Cortez was more concerned about gold...

Anyways, where's the part about the evil omens?

[NowBowToThis]

watch aztecs engineering an empire

[NowBowToThis]

to me spanish are just mean. the aztecs were just doing what they needed to do. Cortez Stinks!

[NowBowToThis]

to me spanish are just cruel

[Kalifero619]

They were Mexicas Not Aztecs.. They were Aztecs When they were in Aztlan.. And they never did sacrafices. Thats a big lie.. People that comes to study our culture from a difrent country they change many things..

[tonsyidibe]

europeans don't need human sacrifice. my god with all the wars these guys have waged. no wonder why when other parts of the world had primitive weapons our boys europeans had the guns.

[mikisct]

@tonsyidibe well technically the turks and arabs were the ones to introduce the 1st firearms to the europeans

the ottomans had many victories cuz the hand cannons and artillery that the euro knights weren't expecting was the key to their success

[DJonX7]

Wow. The things that went on were amazing.

[jojorama75]

Everything happens for a reason! So...why did this all this happen? Do you think it was by accident? This is a rhetorical question...Esto es una pregunta retorica!

and one last one, ...que me rompe el corazon por decirlo....Lets move forward today, now, in this time, what happned in the past is unchangeable, ...do you have a time machine? No...although we would love to have one...there isn't ...so lets move forward and think positive thoughts!

[jojorama75]

Everything happens for a reason! So...why did this all this happen? Do you think it was by accident? This is a rhetorical question...Esto es una pregunta retorica!

[MrAnonymusIV]

There are so many things in this documentary that are misleading, to begin with Azztecs were not canivals, secondly, pulque was not just given to sacrifice victims, it was the drink of the goods, therefore only high priests and royalty could drink pulque and senior men, who where the only ones alowed to be drunk in public because of their age.

[rogerpenna]

why do they show the most fucked up bus they could find?? Seems like he wants to show that Mexico is underdeveloped. Like if there were no highways or modern buses in the country.

[symetricbody]

@rogerpenna mexico is pretty fucked up, its all about statistics mexico just has more fucked up buses in that area

[tadeogutierrez]

@DEMIGODofWAR7 No. At that time there where a lot of other barbaric acts around the world. Even in "civilized" XV century Europe.



[raueda]

the aztec empire were so evil build on fear,human sacrifice blood,that is the reason why the spaniard had that's many indian allies...how about that?without them who knows how far did they get? they liked cortez more,he is liberate them probably.TRIBUTE TO THE HERO WHO STAND UP FOR THE RIGHT THING. right and wrong nothig but good and evil!that is the point!!!

[supralex1]

Quetzalcoatl the god-king of the Toltecs abandoned his throne in the 11th century vowing to one day return, Moctezuma II believed Cortez was this god king and I'm not sure you can blame him. The timing was a remarkable coincidence!

[Condom007of007Solace]

I don't think the Conquistadors even called themselves Conqistadors... Because conquistador means conqueror, If they are to be heartless people, they wouldn't admit themselves as conquerors, I think they'd rather consider themselves as noble HEROs. So, what is hero in spanish? Héroe?... I'm very likely to be wrong, it's just a theory I have.

[delxart]

@Condom007of007Solace well conquerer isnt a negative word.... in those days conquest was glory... and they did call themselves that... i come from a city in mexico that is very spanish and colonial looking they have a fountain and statue honoring them called the fountain of the conquistadores

[BFKAnthony817]

@jethro035181 Because they achieved civilization in isolation from the old world, independently from Europe, Africa or Asia.

That should be amazing in it's own right. This is why I find it so fascinating, sorry you are so unappreciative of this fact.

[standupEFC]

Respect to the aztecs.

[Jenniheart19]

I enjoyed how it made me feel like I was there, that is what I want to feel like.

[XWWE88]

so based on a legend they were expecting someone to return who looked pale, come across the sea, and in that same time frame?

holy shit. That's one hell of a coincidence

[911wasdonebyjews]

@XWWE88 I know right? that's fucking crazy!

[BFKAnthony817]

@XWWE88 Yes, it was a coincidence of cosmic proportions.

[acortesh1]

It is a Lie about the human sacrifices, never were human sacrificies. Good work but you need more research. I agree Aztecs no longer were in the story, aztecs became mexicas (meshicas). because they follow Mexi (meshi), not a god. it was the sun. they did not have gods as you say in the story. they had providers like the sun, the moon the wind, the rain, the stars, etc.

[SQuiRR3LM0nk3y]

He just described the Christian god lol, what a twat lol.

[CroPETROforever]

Aztecks called themselfs: MEXICANI

[ChariotMan7]

@CroPETROforever Right and they Hate us Blacks instead of Spain!

[CroPETROforever]

@ChariotMan7 who hates you? :)

[ChariotMan7]

@CroPETROforever Latinos Mexicans. hating Blks of america but don't hate the Real Enemy Spain!

[CroPETROforever]

@ChariotMan7 I respect you blacks more than those hispanos... because you know who you are, but those hispanos don't know WHAT THEY ARE... mixed long time ago between whites (spaniards) and native americans into what we call today HISPANOS... I don't know do they realize that spaniards from spain hate them the most even today.

[Komnenit]

@CroPETROforever Soy francés pero vivo en Colombia,sin embargo tengo muchísimos amigos españoles y te aseguro que no existe tal odio como dices de parte de España a los hispanoamericanos. Para aclararte, los hispanos SÍ saben lo que son. Son la mezcla de 3 culturas(la española, la indígena y la africana) herederos de una rica herencia cultural. Los grupos de odio en España existen, sin embargo, son una minoría la mayoría de los españoles son buena gente y no tienen la culpa de lo que pocos hacen

[SoleCitizen33]

@CroPETROforever this made no fucking sense.fool

[CroPETROforever]

@SoleCitizen33 Oh really? I guess you are the first who can say this is true, but ok... have it your way.

[SoleCitizen33]

@CroPETROforever Do yourself a favor and go through the comments and read them carefully, you're not making any sense, at all.

[CroPETROforever]

@ChariotMan7 I'm from croatia (small european country), but I was few times in Spain, spain has a lot of hispano-american immigrants who are making a lot of criminal activities there in Spain, they really HATE SPANIARDS in their own spaniard country, trust me, if you are spaniard you would hate those hispanos also :) greets

[ChariotMan7]

@CroPETROforever I know were Croatia is That's a Beautiful Country Kinda different from the other Euorpean Countries in the West, but Which Latinos was in Spain?

[CroPETROforever]

@ChariotMan7 I saw Cubans there and also some Paraguay and Bolivian people... few mexicans... but what is interesting is that they stick togethar in spain against spaniard people...and they really hate spaniards, most of them... even though they came to work in Spain (better say, they came to STEAL in spain), one spaniard told to me that one year ago, some hispano gang attacked spaniard couple in Madrid, they raped that spaniard girl and made spaniard guy watch, and while they raped her

[ChariotMan7]

@CroPETROforever Damn well All I gotta say is what Goes around Comes Around and They in they're Country Too LMFAO!

[CroPETROforever]

@ChariotMan7 they were saying like: "this is what you spaniards will get because of raping our countries in "latin" america", now imagine that you are spaniard, how would you feel on something like this? :)

[CroPETROforever]

01:55 he speaks about atlantis people :P :D

[sesrunner08]

by servants, he means slaves right?

[eldiezmaradona]

Odeounos: The christians who slayed millions of people where fake christians. If they where real christians they wouldnt have broken the commandment against committing murder. If every christian practicises true christianity, society would be free of evil and injustice. On the contrary, even if people practiced the Aztec pagan religion, society would still be full of evil, brutality and cruelty. Ripping out peoples hearts while they where alive, eating children, i'm sorry but thats barbarism.

[ChicagoBruno]

Quezcoatl promised he would return, from the east, with his white face and his beard. The Aztecs, with their cruel and elitist behavior, brought the whirlwind upon themselves. Human Sacrifice? Ha! They got what they doled out.

[elguapodetamaulipas]

Look at how friendly that British guy is, I wonder if it was the British instead of the Spanish that took the expedition to the new world? How much more different would the world be? Not trying to say British people are better than Spaniards, Just a thought...

[kendy4]

@elguapodetamaulipas mexico would be english and the u.s and mexico would be one huge country...it would probably be the world superpower

[Afrocanuk]

@elguapodetamaulipas Back then there were ongoing mass bloodshed in Britian also. Britians were fighting against Romans, Scandinavian and Germanic Vikings, other British etc. Britian like many neighboring countries was an unwilling part of the Roman Empire.

[murlocslavemaster]

@elguapodetamaulipas Hahaha piss off. The British were just as destructive as the Spanish. They were responsible for the death of millions of Indians (actual Indians) and Native Americans.

[elguapodetamaulipas]

@murlocslavemaster Read the entire comment, I didnt say the British were better, i was just saying how much different would the world be.

[retardinho]

@elguapodetamaulipas You should ask the North American Indians about that....

[Ericisgoodenough]

This British acheologist guy is awesome! He has an open mind toward other cultures, instead of hating other races he learns about them. Great guy great attitude. The world is a better place if we have more guys like him.

[elguapodetamaulipas]

@Ericisgoodenough I completely agree, the world would be so much more wonderful if people werent so scared of trying new things...

[eloropeza1985]

@Ericisgoodenough I like your way of thinking.. I am also like this guy.. I love life and different culture.. could you imagine only one culture?? Its like eating the same food every day

[ancalites]

@Ericisgoodenough Unfortunately the problem with the world is precisely that there are too few people like him.

[preemptivestrike20]

@Ericisgoodenough Race obsessed fool.

[Ericisgoodenough]

@preemptivestrike20 ??

[helpdonate1]

@lewisgunner1 what?

[hham1000]

awesome!!! great videos!!

[panic1844]

I guess back then GOLD was the root of all evil...

[8989maverick]

romans vikings and greeks had contacts with america.theese where the exiled gods...

[ThePearl45]

Wonderful Video! Thanks!

[cuzimaraider]

if cortez was a live i think this foo would suck him up, fuck cortez

[detroidx]

hijo de puta

[tHeWasTeDYouTh]

@cuzimaraider fuck off bitch, the Aztecs where all out SOB who killed many natives before we got to america

[tardwhisperer]

@tHeWasTeDYouTh--And this justifies things? The difference is that Europeans destroy everything for their own gain. I am of English descent on both sides and yet I never thought I'd find myself hating my heritage because of the damage caucasians have done to the beauty of this world. Why? Because they can't be bothered with spiritual "speculation". Materialistic devils. Burn in hell.

[halsamdu]

Poor Moctezuma, gentle and unfortunate...I always have loved him...

[victor86tabacaru]

the scale of the genocide the spanish made in south america is unbelivable! They exploited the amerindians to extinction and then brought african salves, chenesse etc to work in their silver and gold mines. The cruelty and greed of those people just amaze me. And as for the human sacrifices of the aztecs the spanish inquisition was killing thousands in the name of god.

[HellesBringer]

The Native Americans would have done the same if they had the technology and power the Spaniards enjoeyed. But as far as religion is concerned there is no doubt that Christianity is far better, during the whole of the inquisition merely 2000 died, native religions were far more cruel, demanded human sacrifice, bloodshed and horrible rituals that are nothing but barbaric. They enslaved their own people too.

[odeonus]

@HellesBringer oh yeas, and the christian religion were better. slaying more than a million people in the cursades and witch hunts. and the myths about the human sacrifice are exagerated to give the "christians" a reason to "convert" ( as in believe or die) other people.

[tardwhisperer]

@odeonus--Nevertheless, the "christians" are to blame and not the Christ himself. Ghandi said "I like your christ, but I do not like your christians". There it is. How shallow to think one can escape eternal judgement simply because those who claim to represent god do evil in the world. Does that make too much sense for ya?

[bradyischamp]

@victor86tabacaru

in 350 years of the inquisition, only at most 3000 were killed in the name of god. sorry to burst your bubble.

[Warrior8548]

@victor86tabacaru, Mexico is not in South America. I think you meant Latin America. Find central America in a map and see if Mexico is North or South.

[Caracalla23]

@Warrior8548 Mexico is in NORTH AMERICA.

[smartspick]

@victor86tabacaru Human Sacrifice is different in form and application than penal punishment such as in the Spanish Inquisition. You savages didn't sacrifice to punish but saw it sadistically as an honor to the gods and to the person they were about to take the heart out of with (since they were so primitive they did not have metals) obsidian.

[drsta84]

@smartspick "(since they were so primitive they did not have metals)". lol use your head a little bit.....obviously they had gold. They also had silver. They had no iron so they used copper. Last time i checked gold,silver,copper are considered metals.

[700gsteak]

@drsta84 LOL at whoever you were replying to. The spanish invasion was all about gold. I dont know how that idiot could get it so wrong that the aztecs didnt have metals.

[supersmash43]

@700gsteak gold is a metal though. The Aztecs lacked in steel though.

[700gsteak]

@supersmash43 That youtube user said metal not steel. He claimed that the aztecs didn't have metals which is absurd since they had gold at the very least.

[supersmash43]

@700gsteak yeah that's what I was saying. To say that the Aztec didn't have any metallgury is just plain false because they knew how to smelt copper, gold, silver, and maybe bronze although they didn't have any iron tools surprisingly. But that's because obsidian was an abundant and good enough material for cutting that they didn't have any need to develop iron/steel tools.

[Kurplutzo]

@drsta84 Those fuckers broke into my house and stole my plumbing!!!

[irishfella1000]

@victor86tabacaru yes but what about the massacres the aztecs subjected the tlaxcalans tarascans and numerous other surrounding tribes to, the aztecs killed far more people than the inquisition through sacrifice in gods name, and also practised canabalism even their own elaborate artwork indicates this. im not disagreeing with you that the spanish were brutal and cruel your right, but they were just as cruel as any other culture on earth at the time, such as the mongols, and the english.

[elzagal1]

Moctezuma know something no one knew.......

[CaminodeSantiago08]

felicidades, excelente video.-

[ivmame16]

muy bueno el documental, gracias por colgarlo....

[theone91109]

and if we only sacrifised the old it would be so the yung would have many food water and more land to play and have fun

[theone91109]

i dont think we belived in death but the god taking us and recteating new life and when we would sacrifise a boy man or girl we wher sending them with god

[theone91109]

damn all thes people in this video look aztec their not pale like my skin all they need is a strong leader and we will rise agin but its all over the white man needs only a few satanic ritualls and that fag the devil will be born man white people you fuck every thing up good thing when i dye ill be with my ansestors while you fucks ar with the devil hahahahahaha

[juanjesuschong]

EL video esta muy buenoo, sin pasiones que si los españoles o los aztecas fueron mejor o mas malos , asi fue la Historia y es poco lo que podemoos hacer mas que sentirnos orgullosos de nuestras raices que enriquecieron nuestra cultura y gastronomia,Mexico es uno de los paises mas bellos por su gente

[ceacatop]

@juanjesuschong En el choque de culturas los mexicanos en desventaja sufrieron vejaciones, torturas, asesinatos y demás humillaciones. Luego vino un periodo de 300 años de esclavitud que ha repercutido en el carácter del mexicano actual según Samuel Ramos ( El perfil del hombre y la cultura en México). Tus raices prehispánicas son motivo de orgullo por todo el significado que conlleva y que en muchos paises reconocen y admiran. La otra parte no es motivo de orgullo sino de verguenza.

[illbetilbake]

so cortez thought human sacrifice was wrong, even though his own religion was based on human sacrifice. oh how religion makes circles square.

[patto678]

how is human sacrifice part of Christianity?

[CaminodeSantiago08]

Felicidades, precioso video.

[carlosmante]

Los mexicanos LLevamos orgullosamente Sangre Europea.

Gracias Abuelo por venir a estas Tierras y Civilizar a Aztecas.

Sin tu Honor y Valentia , simplemente Mexico no existiria.

Gracias Abuelo.

[dude200469]

webon, tu no eres mexicano, eres un webon maton espanol como tus ancestros que no queria trabajar, solamente explotar a los demas, niegalo. los espanoles que vinieron eran de lo peor, pura basura.

[bradyischamp]

@dude200469

basura conquisto tus antecedientes. sorry

[tadeogutierrez]

they where diferent cultures with different views of their own cosmos. I am Mexican, half of my blood is mexica and half of my blood european. My skin is not completely white nor dark. And I think that both cultures could learn a lot from eachother but that didn't happened. It was easier to wipe out a culture that was beyond ther understanding. in both cultures you han see a lot barbaric acts and murders. Read more and you will be amazed of what prehispanic cultures achieved.

[cuteasian2007]

@tadeogutierrez im also interested with civilizations. i appreciate your points of views. i wish we could be friends. i wish to know you more. whats ur facebook?

[Pseudologic]

@tadeogutierrez Who cares about skin color. It's exciting to be a part of two great cultural heritages.

[pablo13zero]

i hate Spaniards.

[varela1986]

estupido

[SertoriusMagnus]

Exactly the "huey tlatoani" that the Spaniards called as "Montezuma" was Moctecuhzoma II Xocoyotzin, son of Axacayatl, who was the successor of the great Moctecuhzoma Ilhuicamina, who expanded by his own the domains of Tenochtitlan (the core of Mexica Empire) until Oxaca, Veracruz & current regions of Guerrero & Morelos. Here talking a Spaniard from Extremadura, the land where Cortés was born.

[juanchissi]

Que bello Mexico lo extraño, lastima todas la culturas y atrocidades que cometio el imperio español y la iglesia catolica..

[guillermogg75]

¿Qué estás diciendo?. ¿Eres Azteca? ¿Qué porcentaje de sangre azteca tienes?. ¿Sabes todas las atrocidades que se hacían los pueblos que vivían en las tierras que ahora se llaman México? Sacrificios humanos, matanzas, etc...lee un poco de literatura no mexicana.

Tal vez, si en tu sangre corre sangre hispana, tengas antepasados conquistadores

[pegasometal89]

cerdo !

[TheCaballeroaguila]

como hay idiotas como este tipo atrocidades, exacto lee a los grandes antropologos y no eas videos en youtube idiota

[wormlock88]

asi se hace la historia

[MMMELPADI]

thanks to the british for these films. Thanks from Spain

[6Nubia9]

not montezuma, but moctecuzoma or moctezuma

[KronuzZ]

Moctezuma, Montecuzoma was a tlatoani 10 years before Moctezuma
