Let's destroy the church!!!!!!

[uzzidechicago]

i wanna go there now....damm but no money

[AnahuacRising]

the church should be destroyed!!!

[thEmAddrshOck]

You don't want to destroy the church. You'd want to take it apart carefully to make sure you weren't destroying anything significant to you. The Nahua were smart, and often incorporated parts of their sacred sites- sculpture and whatnot- into the architecture of the churches. For awhile, the Spanish though the conversion to Christianity was going smoothly until they realized that they were burning copal outside the churches and leaving offerings there for reasons other than Christ.

i was born like 5 minutes away from there

i always thought this pyramid was beautiful but yes its a disrespect to have that church there i agree it should be placed somewhere else.....

[CuauhtemocTlayohuac]

jmanny666,

that church should not be "placed somewhere esle", but should be destroyed.......

Our people were fine before churches were built in Anahuac, and we'll do fine without churches on our continent.........

[korky94]

that Church the Spanish put up is similar to the U.S. Government puting the name Harney Peak at the top of the Black Hills in SD..

General William Harney massacred Brule Lakota women and children

A plan for restoration of our site will be good. We can build around and over the "invasive architecture."

[AnahuacPilgrimage]

The first step is to remove the desecration. Remove that church that is meant to keep us on our knees, as slaves to Europeans.

[agungk]

the church symbolizes the rape, subjugation, humiliation of the land and the culture on which it stands.

It's a shame if a world cultural heritage should be left in obscurity just because some parasitic building over it.

If people object in removal of the church, it should be relocated somewhere else.

[nathanvsf]

so you want to take the church off?

[DaughterOfZion92]

I would like to visit Cholula. It looks so beautiful.

[AliCarmona]

You should have said "The spaniards did'nt put the church in top of the teocalli...they made us put it in top of the great teocalli" which is a lot worse. Great information.

[cheengators]

great stuff.

[Opam06]

i´ve been here many times!!!

[mexihcatlacatl]

Another great video.I suggest adding diagrams of Cholula's interior,subterranean, exterior (without the church) and a maybe a comparison with the Pyramid at Giza.

[AnahuacPilgrimage]

Great idea. But we only have so much time and so much money with which to work with. We had hoped to do even more at Cholula but we ran out of time and money. Perhaps somewhere down the road we can re-edit the materials to enhance them even more. Or maybe go down there again. But thanks for the feedback.
