I'm Mexo-American and if never been much interested in my roots because the soil is contaminated with innocent blood. Imagine how many flys there must have been around back then?? Why couldn't they just flys instead??
thats why i hate spaniards! they destroyed and hurt aztecs!! anyways i have aztec blood still!! and im proud of it!! aztecs could won that war! but moctezuma didnt want to attack cortez at the begining! fuck spain fuck all their people!!
I think I know more historical fact than Fuentes. The Aztecs practised Baptism for infants BEFORE ANY SPANIARD came into the picture; the birth of a child was a big event and there were many involved in the celebration, the name based on favorable astrological positions. Their most revered god was a goddess which is why they now revere the Virgin Mary even more than Jesus. The Spaniards could not destroy their religious deities or beliefs for the Aztecs were a highly religious society.
Mexicans want to learn about their great Aztec Empire history? Start by reading a book entitled: Daily Life of the Aztecs by Jacques Soustelle; this book should be on every Mexican kid's book shelf.
It is propaganda in the sense the facts have been distorted to show still a savage people only tempered slightly here and the false impression that the Aztecs serpent god was anything remotely close to a "fair-skinned ruler." Modern scholars and historians reject that as Spanish revisionist history. Unfortunately, this documentary, & I've seen 2 segments doesn't speak to the real truth. Even 80 thousand killed at one time has been regarded as an numerical IMPOSSIBILITY so why repeat it the lie?
To learn your old heritage of modern day hispanic/ latino, We are Nikan Tlaka.."meaning we the people here" NATIVES dark skin, light skin, All we know is white history, Its good 2 know ours too no matter what they say, It will make great in change your life and make u proud visit these sites that speak for all central, south, americans with Indigenous roots MEXICAUPRISING. NET MEXICA-MOVEMENT. ORG theres many sites this MEXIKA aka aztec today was our last great empire..learn the truth. stay up
So, one can tell if we are mestizo by looking at ourselves and our family correct? The largely Native mixed population tends to look like the people in the video during the wedding?

A bit dated, too much Euro-bias. Important info left out, suppositions presented as fact, no mention of the fact that the subjects of this documentary called themselves Mexica and a few fallacies. A sincere attempt but overall a fail. Grade C-.
the aztecs also used sacrifize to prevent over population, kinda like todays usa government uses cem trails, virusus, wars , poisining foods, vaccenes.. ect... in all reality,people have not changed..well people with power that is..
Thank you for posting the vids! What a very interesting documentary! I must admit that I have a bit of a better understanding of the Aztecs, their culture, and empire. Of course there is so much more to learn, but that is what makes it awesome! You peaked my interest in the Aztecs! Thank you!
@Hotleather31 There other good documentaries about the Aztecs on youtube. But to really learn about it, you have to come to Mexico City and visit three places. 1. The Anthropology Museum (which has most of the art from those times). 2. Templo Mayor (which is amazing and has a museum as well). 3 Teotihuacan (which is not an Aztec site, but is very impressive and it inspired the Aztecs to build on a grand scale).
All of the New World civilizations were amazing and there are so many!
the aztec gods all sacraficed them selves for the life of the humands , but cutting out therr own hearts so the sun can rise. the aztec gods gave up more for the people than jesus. the actual god of the catholic faith did not sacrafice him self but his 'son'. this documentary is inconsistent.
@bucklee34 cain didn't sacrifice able to God, he just killed him because he was the favorite and got jealous. And those were animal sacrifices. I agree that a lot of Genesis is likely parables or corruptions of history, but the rest of the Bible is a lot more legitimate (though still not 100% accurate). And your own knowledge of astrophysics is a little off. galaxies aren't a power, but a formation. no one can claim to know how the universe works, so no one can rule out another's beliefs.

I could understand fighting to defend yourself, but why would Cortez and his followers burn, rape and enslave people when he was representing Christianity?
@Afrocanuk Because he did not understand what it meant to be a follower of Christ. We see the same thing today amongst many so-called christians, evangelists in particular, all fire and brimstone and condemnation. Many are no better than their muslim conterparts - the Taliban. This man's folly, in every culture, in every religion there are the power hungry who use the teachings to elevate themselves but does not the bible say 'the meek shall inherit the earth'.
@Afrocanuk Because he knew nothing of what it meant to be a follower of Jesus. Because he was out for power and wealth. This is not new. Many of todays 'Christians' are mere believers in Jesus who seem to totally ignore the 'love thy neighbour' and forgiveness part. It's easy to call yourself a Christian. It is much harder to be one ....
Hell yeah, they used biological weapon on purpose... 80 000 sacrifices to the aztec god is ofcourse allright... They should have sacrifice themselves in the first place, it would be easier for the Coretez. There is no need to weep for those who had no respect for life
@suarneduj you're so ignorant!!!... what have you ever sacrificed?... these people comited the ultimate sacrifice so that the world would continue to exist. They had a deeper knowledge of the forces of the universe and the cosmos, they respected nature and animals and most of all they valued life!!!...
@suarneduj i understand that you are against this outrageous human sacrifice but this does not mean that the Aztecs did not respect life. it was their faith and religion that brought them to do it. they were like the ancient Israelites or perhaps part of the lost tribes of Israel who would readily sacrifice their own children for their God. they had the same beliefs with the ancient Ifugaos and all Igorot tribes of northern Luzon (in the Philippines) but instead of Kukulkan they had Kabunyan
Maybe some day there will be a revival of the Aztec culture. But first Mexicans and those of Mexican descent have to get educated and gain enough influence to spark it.
@ImDiscombobulated "This is my body." At the end of the meal, he took a cup (Luke mentions another cup at the start of the meal), probably of wine, offered a prayer (a "thanksgiving" in Matthew and Mark, no direct mention in Luke and Paul, who use the adverb "likewise"), gave it to his disciples, and spoke words associating it with his blood. Paul and Luke mention an instruction to "do this in memory of me".v
Que buen comentario amigo, ojala que cambie un poco el sistema de gobierno para que podamos tener mas conocimiento acerca de nuestras verdaderas raices que generen la suficiente influencia y resurga México tenochtitlan.
@sid300e I think the Aztec revival is ongoing. For example if one is to travel to Mexico City they would notice many customs and elements are fused with the authentic culture of Mexico. Many of the names of the ancient burrows names have been maintained. "The Gods and Symbols of Ancient Mexico and the Maya" by Mary Miller is a good book to start with. Also many people in Mexico City, Puebla, Queretaro and Toluca still speak and learn Nahuatl. But yes you make a good point.
@sid300e maybe one day there will be a revival of the cultures that the aztec people overtook. still, i like your thinking. One day maybe there will be a revival of people all around the world who honor nature, are good stewards of the planet and respect each living for love and peace, not greed and gold.
@hetcer you should shed your blood then for flowers , bloodmeal makes excellent fertilizer and deters deer. Let me know if you have friends i can start a company and package it as aztec flower power.
How in hell can that old fart compere the existing regime in Mexico whit the spanish!! the other guy said the spanish where responsible for 90% of the annihilation of indigenous people stupid ass pendejo!! and he does not give a single fact!!
this was a great documentary... i think this story has been hidding from the world for a long time. A movie should be made but not a crappy one a good high budget movie about the aztecs, tenochtitlan and the arrival of the spanish it would be a great success, too many crappy no meaning movies now days.... oh yea the movie has to be 18A because of all the blood lol.
Wow this was absolutely fascinating. I'm doing a research term paper over the spanish and aztecs. The more that I delve into both of their stories, the more fascinated I become.
