The Aztec Massacre 5/5

[CandyRainMusicString]

This doesn't explain the rest.. What happened to the Aztecs? How did they die and what happened to Cortez if he left them :s

[fmg50]

I am greatly surprised that these experts apparently haven´t read Bernal Díaz del Castillo´s The Real History of the Conquest of New Spain, where he chronicles human sacrifices in most cities they went through - and cannibalism. He also writes that it wasn´t an easy conquest, quite the opposite - the Aztecs fought hard and bloody battles against them. For crying out loud! READ THE BOOK!! It´s all there - and the bones are proof of Del Castillo´s credibility! Some experts!!

does anybody know who is playing on monday night football this week..??.....

I haven't seen a documentary so painfully slow in a long time.

[North2016]

The Mexica or "Aztecs" would have defeated the Spanish had it not been for the small pox that wiped out the majority of the indigenous population throughout Tenochitlan.

The Spanish won not because they allied with the Tlaxcalans or other indigenous tribes; but because they brought with them the epidemic disease that ultimately led them to victory.

[KhalidCabrero]

Very strange allegation. The chroniclers themselves tell of Spanish being captured and sacrificed after the Noche Triste and during the battle of Tenochtitlan. It isn't particularly "revolutionary".

[ssgcampos12]

the aztecs believed that if they ate there victims they would consume there power... the more victims u brought back for ritual purposes the more body parts they could eat not all aztecs had that prevolage tho

[RNBCRAZZY]

ohh and the aztecs got their coivilization from the guanches of the canary islands who were white they believed the guanches were gods and named the, quetzacoatl they believed the spanish were quetzacoatls second coming hence the white man was god theory these savages had no civilization plus traces of coca a south american plant and tobacco were found in egypt how guanche trade routes look it up

[RNBCRAZZY]

BARBARIC

[rhcmlc]

[mexipacfan]

Native Americans developed great civilizations on their own,Europe had a lot of influence from Asia and the middle east for example the Spaniards wouldn't have had guns without the gun powder that was invented in China

[JoseRCol2]

@mexipacfan

and that is why Europe is much more developed than the America's back than

[mexipacfan]

@JoseRCol2 yea,in some ways they were but in other ways they weren't like in astronomy the Mayas were more advanced in that area.

[ssgcampos12]

@mexipacfan the mayas were some what the same as thge aztecs the aztecs adopted some things from them such as the calander or weaponary but when it came to it they were toe to toe not to mention aztecs had better cotton armor and more trained millitary thast y the mayas couldnt rule over them cause of there power and tranning

[mexipacfan]

@ssgcampos12 yea I agree with you

[robotzik]

Whoa this is total poop. As "shocking" as some might find cannibalism, there have to be far more interesting things for the final punch of this documentary.

[gearofduty2012]

mmmmm Spaniard.

[Edinaldo08]

Somebody has to die so the others can live. This archetype is printed in all of us.

But when a criminal is executed in a death sentence it seems that he died for hinself not for the others. The more innocent the executed one the more the archetype is satisfied.

Jesus was without sin. He fullfiled the archetype once and for all. Nobody else has to die.

"He that eateth my flesh and drinketh my blood hath eternal life: and I will raise him up at the last day."(John 6:54)

[Phantasmos]

Like all conquests, the worst comes from within. Ask Russia, the last Empire to fall. US is attemtping to create one today & so far it has fared no better. Why, there will always be Resistance. The Aztec faced the same dilema. Their conquests turned on them & aided the Spanish. Research American history & you will find the Indian assisted America, turned on the British & the French. Mexicans turned on Santa Anna & aided in the Alamo & Goliand - why, Discontent. US is on the same path.

[nbkatsac]

@Phantasmos You have a good point there.

[og2783]

i don't like how they use spaniard drawings showing natives eating body parts and their dieties as devils, aztecs had way too much respect for humans to draw these actions in that way if they actually had occured.

[oJAYarista]

@penelope95116 dude...your a fucken lame!! caLLing us Horrible when your people slaughtered children & women..Distroyed our Culture & said that yoU civilized US raped our women & when we were boen yoU dispise US!! fucK SPain!! i embrace my NATIVE*side.!!

[eldiezmaradona]

There is a big difference. If everyone practiced Christianity in Europe, there would be no bloodshed, but peace and justice. However, if everyone practiced Aztec religion, innocent people would have their hearts ripped out day in and day out, including children. Say what you want, but the Aztecs where evil, period. Today Mexico has freedom and liberty, and no one has to worry about getting there heart ripped out, and there bones eaten. thanks to Cortes!

[eldiezmaradona]

Anyone who eats people are sick in the head. I'm glad Cortes put an end to this abomination

[eldiezmaradona]

The Aztecs practiced a barbaric religion. Ripping out peoples hearts, eating people, killing children, thats as evil as it gets. Today Mexico is much better off with democracy and freedom than under the bloody rule of Montezuma, thanks to Cortes and his brave men. At least today nobody has to fear getting their heart ripped out! Cortes brought freedom to Mexico

[arthriticbone]

History is written by the victor!!!

[scot676767]

Yes I think that the Aztecs eating the spainish is a logical decision being a Aztec. Now when the Aztecs 1st saw the spans and their tools, they must have been amazed seeing the boats and the men. Then, sooner or later they must have came to fear these very objects of amazement, being at war with them in later contacts. Also not to forget that these are people of religious sacrifice and viewed the body in a ways we dont know, maybe they thought eating these people will make them stronger.

[TheBibleFuture]

Is the Aztects sidonians? Was there a migration in the BC past around the mediterreanean through a passage between spain and morrocco to the Americas of the Sidonians, and the sidonians became aztects as well as other indian tribes? The phonecians did migrate to spain from canaan. Do you Know who were worser than the sidonians? The Answer is the the Hivite.

[XiaDynasty]

i thought only in pacific island, people pratice cannablism. I still not convinced aztec pratice cannablism.

[DaveFLBrn]

@X4SerioX4ese How do you explain the human teeth marks?

[FresnoMostwanted]

The Aztecs are soo bad ass and savage. Im of Aztec decent and when I tell a girl they get turned on haha

Anuahac people forever!!!!

[tinoman2007]

they lost the war cuz of small pox that killed over 100 million indians not only the aztecs but the native americans too....

[TimothydrinkzTea]

native americans too? what do you think aztecs are non native americans?

hmmmmm yummmm......taste like beef, except more tender.

[DrZodas]

This WHOLE program is based on "suggestions" the remains and ruins have left behind. This is mostly desperate speculatoin and a mocumentary designed to discredit, once again, a great and powerful people.

[sewagedweller]

ja ja no one likes to hear the truth . powerful people , dont make me laugh . if they were powerful they wouldn't be crashed by a band of mercenaries

[S1amezeCat]

@sewagedweller They weren't really. It was their dirt and deseases that did the most damage. Not military skills.

[ccheng21]

suggesting that the Aztecs didn't take the Spanish invasion lightly, and actually fought back and won some victories, hardly suggests that the Aztec were weak. This documentary never suggested the Aztecs were weak, in fact it shows otherwise.

[ssgcampos12]

@ccheng21 the only reason y the aztecs lost was not because of th egun powder  or armor that spain had but from the desease they brought with them

[amocualli]

Fucking Faggot You are an Stupid you and Your Culture who lived over the Shit that covered in thtat Time on Spain with all your Sickness like Black Death, Fuck Spain and your Fucking Jew God.

Mexicas Religion Still Alive

AMO CUALLI

[macsualtam1]

@amocualli DON'T OFFEND LORD GOD because he will stand up for his glory !You will see this sooner or later in your own life !BE SURE!

[acerb45666555]

us Celts, and this includes the Galician region of what is now Spain, used to eat our enemies hearts and take heads to gain our enemies courage! so no one who descends from Spain can say his ancestors were better than Aztecs! as far as im concerned, the tyrannical mass murdering Romans were worse than any Aztec!

[07Jeanine1987]

The Galician region isnt what is now Spain. It is what is the northern/north-western part of Spain. Thus, not everyone who descends from Spain came from that area. just so you know! :)

[TrophyHunterPSN]

@acerb45666555 iam a descendent from the AZTECS in fact my real name comes from a great AZTEC warrior but i dont really know too much about other cultures but i do know ONE THING my people were some of the most savage and loyal people known to man they can be your best friend or your worst enemy. The AZTECS were raised to live without fear and were not afraid to die anybody with this type of mindset is capable of almost anything.

[Alienmad462]

@acerb45666555

gtfo north americans.

if you're a celt so am i and every person in england.

i know nobody who has not got irish heritage

[gabe2639]

@acerb45666555 would you guyz skin people then were it. We also ate people

[ssgcampos12]

@acerb45666555 the aztecs werent murders they did all that to please the gods. not to mention the vitcims did it willingly



[ixtlixolotl]

You are all fools. This was war and the Aztec killed the enemy and put their heads on racks. The rest is pure embellishment. There is no other mass burial sites before or after because the sacrifices were invention of the Spanish.

[efrenchat]

They didn't kill to eat human meat. No nutritional elements? No protein sources? I invite you to read about the feeding in Mesoamerica and you'll discover what they eat. Many things for us could be now distasteful but, actually it was very healthy. From our point of view, strange things were eaten (insects, for example). But, come on, many people now eat pig meat or hamburgers, which are very harmful for our bodies.

Stupid people? You're so, but I don't accuse you to be so.

[StArMasteRz]

Wll, life expextancy was low and there was not much protein avaiable, no hervibores to bne eaten adn lack of such nutirtional elements; so cannibalism was a response to famine, lack of protein in other elements of ther diet and population pressure.

[efrenchat]

But, come on, many people now eat pig meat, which is also one of the most harmful for our bodies.

Antec mansee!! It should alliance with North Korea!

[lunafringe10]

i m sorry that was no culture, that was just savage acts, so someone put an end to those sick ceremonies, the spaniards

[Miringel]

are you retarded or just american? you think any other contemporary culture was so much better.. spanjards burned people alive for witchcraft. From a religious view this is also a sacrifice and a means of domination over subjects..

[efrenchat]

Spaniards stop sick ceremonies. You really made me LAUGH. Come on, have you not heard about the SPANISH INQUISITION and its spread through-out Europe? Didn't you know that within the next 100 years after Hernán Cortés arrived to Mexico 90% of the original american people in Mesoamerica died after the Spanish Conquest? The last fact is called GENOCIDE, like Nazis did in World War II.

[TitanSubZero15]

Then how come the Japanese aren't sick. hahaha

[danielkabuto]

if you cant get sick from eating pigs meat you cant get by eating white meat.
