The Aztec and Mexicans for that matter, would be better off without European intervention, and US intervention, because the Europeans and US took so much of our lands and reasources, now mexicans today have to suffer for it. Thanks a lot US, and Europe.

Human sacrifices were only made during special ceremonies, not daily. A festival was held at the end of each month. It is during these festivals that sacrifices were made, not all of them human. Sacrifices of food and animals were more frequent. I should also be noted that such numbers as 84,000 or 20,000 were most likely exaggerations made by the Spanish. In truth, only about 300 to 600 people would have been sacrificed in a year through out the empire.

he's got the legend all wrong! Coyolxauhlqui was a warrior, and she meant to kill her own mother, because it was HER who got pregnant on a misterious way, and gave birth to Huitzilopozhtli, who was born to fight Coyo and his 400 brothers to defend his mother! Coyo an these brothers became the moon and the stars. Hutzi became the sun god.

masadoniak, go and write to mr. pointdexter that no hindu and no african american is going to take the credit that our native ancestors worked so hard to create. the aztec, mayan, and inca are people with a culture of their own, not a borrowed culture. Basically, thats an insult because youre saying that we do not have the capabilities to create great empires and advanced sophisticated social systems. On top of that, there is no resemblance and no proof what so ever. Aztlan equals Atlantis...

@masadoniak Good ancient Mexicans? I think that would be...ALL ancient Mexicans aside from the immoral ones obviously. And Spanish culture was pretty successfully mixed with the ancient Mexica culture. The Aztecs were a brillent civilization, but so were the Spaniards, and they defeated us in honest battle. When I said Europeans taking our land, I mostly ment the Europeans during the Pastry war and French intervention, not the Spanish.

Too late but a major revolution is necessary to over throw the entire Spanish Mexico and Central America. The real Aztec, Mayan were very cultured people and many who didn't mix with Spaniards are good ancient Mexicans and Mayan but they do speak Spanish. Now many are trying to learn the lost Mayan, Aztec, and other indigenous languages.

Human sacrifice wasn't common in Aztec, Teltec or Mayan empire except criminal just like USA or Spanish used to do & still does, Not a big deal in those days. Spanish have killed millions of Aztec, Mayan & Incas and took their land for ever, Spanish were brutal and still they are. Mexico is belongs to Mexicans not Spanish speaking people. I have appreciate Kuna people of Panama who kicked the asses of Spanish and their national flag is Swastika. Google it for Kuna people.
