2012 Professor Ysamur Flores - Serpent and the Sun

You can never erase a culture totally. You can destroy the external part of it, the cities you can destroy the codices, but what you cannot destroy is the resilience of the human spirit.

Thanks for the comment.

He refers to the fact that the Aztecs are still alive as are the Mayans.

Wrong. A culture can certainly die or be destoyed. The ancient paintings in Caves are all that's left of the very first cultures, everywhere. You can end a culture...but the ART remains, whether pyramids or churches.
