Nice video. So now you know that it was the Aztecs who invented a bureacratic government. You forgot to mention that in addition to celebrating the arrival of a new born baby whose name was chosen based on his astrological sign, the child was delivered by a midwife, and the baby was baptised with water; I suspect the missionaries later incorporated this tradition into Catholism in order to make the conversion easier.

@HCFBEE I certainly don't feel inclined to add anything erroneous, as you apparently have. I'll be charitable, and assume you're simply being ignorant rather than willfully lying.

And what is a "right-wing Nazi" anyway? The historical Nazis were Left-wing socialists.

[HCFBEE]

@DrCruel Hahhaha, my comments hitting a little close to home, eh? you right wing Nazi... figured you'd have nothing constructive to add.

@HCFBEE (...incidentally, it's a bit stupid to claim the Aztecs as inventors of the potato, don't you think? As for Aztec tomatoes, they were small yellow things. It was the Europeans that bred tomatoes into what we know today, and in only a hundred years or so.

The number zero was first used by the Hindus, and was already in wide circulation a thousand years before the Aztec civilization existed.

Why do you insist on being an apologist for Aztec fascism? You're embarrassing yourself. )

@HCFBEE There's nothing to debate - Aztecs were brutal and oppressive savages, even by the low standards of the region. It's an established fact. That fact is mitigated as much by Aztec ziggurats as the autobahn does for the Nazis.

They did have a complex civilization. Many of the peoples they brutalized had complex civilizations too. Thats why, when the Spaniards gave them the upper hand, the Tlaxcala and other indigenous peoples practically wiped the Aztecs out.

[HCFBEE]

Yes, there were slaves, just as there was in the United States and Ancient Egypt. Shall we throw those civilizations out with the bathwater, too? Yes there was violence against neighboring populations -- with death toll numbers probably not nearly as ghastly as Nagasaki and Hiroshima. Most of their military endeavors were to gain tributes from vassal states - they did not attack lesser states for the sake of genocidal sport. What good is a vassal state if there is no one left to pay tribute?

[HCFBEE]

@DrCruel I thought you weren't debating? Very well, then. The Aztecs were highly adept at mathematics and astronomy. Ever hear of the number 0? They had a complex civilization that included a public education and institutions of higher learning. They, including other Mesoamerican cultures, revolutionized agriculture like no other region on the planet. What would Italy be without the Tomato? What would Ireland be without the Potato? What would the US be without Corn? Cont.

@HCFBEE I have several valid points - that the Aztecs were objectively vicious, that presenting them as "enlightened" is as obnoxiously offensive as it is historically wrong, and that revisionist presentations trying to claim otherwise ought to be brought to task. You're the one who's claimed otherwise - and have used nothing more demonstrative than insults as proof.

The Aztecs created and maintained an empire based on calculated, periodic genocides. There's no nice way to finesse that.
