The Last Aztec 4/10

The Last Aztec Part 4

Booker Prize winner DBC Pierre returns to the Mexico of his youth to explore the downfall of one of the world's greatest civilisations -- the Aztecs ruled by the emperor Moctezuma II who were defeated by a small force of Spaniards under Hernán Cortés.

In the early 16th century, the Aztec empire was at the height of its power. The emperor Moctezuma II (also known as Montezuma) ruled from the great imperial city of Tenochtitlan in the Valley of Mexico -- site of present-day Mexico City -- and collected an unending stream of tribute from neighbouring city-states. Aztec armies were feared. Hundreds of thousands of humans were sacrificed to Aztec gods in elaborate rituals.

That "white guy" is a Man Booker prize laureate. That equates to a thousand times more of what you'll ever achieve. Please, show some respect.

I would like to edit all of things said or recorded by Cortez out of this documentary and see what remains, then it would be an amazing story of bloodless truth! Note that all the tall tales blood sacrifice and cannibalism were told by the Spanish not the Aztec.

@ELROCKER666 We are part of the Ancient Aztecs and Mayans... in a sense the Pyramids belong to us and are part of us. Be proud of it and let others say whatever they want. We are part of something Ancient, that still stands today. Ancient and Mystical....we are descended from the Greatest New World civilizations.

@ELROCKER666 i dont prefer beans.

[MrRockrea89]

what book is he reading?



[jbaquinones]

I can't even begin to point out all of the fallacies I find in this guy's video. The Mexica did not want to kill the Spanish. It was against the law of the gods to exterminate a whole people.
