  • This picture painted of the Aztecs is so incomplete. Little is said about their poets, their artisans, their expert farmers using a system that had massive crop yields (chinampas). Also, templo mayor is a spanish word. Nahuatl uses Teocalli for temple. Too much is said of their human sacrifices. They're not the only ones to have practiced it. Greeks, Romans, Celts, Germans, and Hindus all did it. Last, Incas was the most powerful americas empire not Aztecs.

  • Right, there's some kind of obsession with sacrifices, and almost no atention to other aspects of aztec culture.

  • @philomelodia yes, because the army who" wins the war" writes the history.. but the spanish never won the war in battlefield, the diseases they had won them the impire.

  • WOW this is some BULLSHIT lies they are saying,,,, they are telling the history of my people like if they were actually there with so much detail thats how you know they are lying... really dont think that they were what these "profesionals" depict them to be, i think they were an enlightened civilization i think that they actually devoted their time to knowledge. if you look at other civilization of the americas all were knowledge seekers and farmers,mathematics,artist,bui­lders and much more

  • the victims were enemie tribes and criminals why dont they talk about that ?

  • Además de ser una cultura avanzada en astronomía, agricultura comercio y la guerra, ha sido limitada a una practica religiosa que si bien tenia algo de salvajismo hay que recordar que era un honor para los sacrificados ofercerse para Dios, la información presentada es sensacionalista e incompleta, saludos.

  • Were they really???

  • i agree but i must agree 2 many religions as well as being fd up

  • The Aztecs were fucked up........

  • Yay for focusing exclusively on human sacrifice and not acknowledging that the Aztecs were actually more advanced than Europeans!
