Ancient Warriors - The Aztecs Part 1

The life of Aztec warriors was one of constant battle. The primary purpose for this continual Aztec warfare was to take prisoners to be sacrificed to their gods. As the Aztec empire expanded, however, another major purpose of Aztec wars was to expand the size and power of the empire.

Young Aztec men became warriors at the young age of 17. Aztec warriors were expected to be brave and noble. Yet, both free commoners and nobility underwent military training. Those who were of noble lineage, however, also received training in religion, politics, or history by the priests. The priests, too, engaged in warfare, as the overall purpose of the Aztec warriors was to serve and pay respect to the gods. The pride the Aztecs felt in warfare was even made evident by their system of government, which required new rulers to prove themselves first on the battlefield.

@mikefnm stupid ignorant fuck... if anything, the fat doughy, stinking hairy bastards over from europe were the fucking PUSSIES, real aztec men were the ones fighting out barefoot and hitting each other with jade and stone weaponry, instead of just picking up a fucking gun and shooting.... any fag can do that, perhaps even your stupid ass

Now lets look at this logic, cortez was after thier gold. the Aztecs wont hand it over, now he'll have to take it by force. But needed a reason to attack the aztecs. Hey lets call them hidan savages.. yes!! lets go to another mans continent and jugde them. i swear white people are all thesame, first kill-plunder-rape-enslave-make lies-cover thier tacks. Then you wonder why you people are the most hated race today.

@Cuauhtli47 Its only logical that after the collapse of the empires in South America that small tribes would be founded from the remnants of the population

[Cuauhtli47]

@EpicTeaIsEpic SO you are saying because hillbillies sleep with there sisters and have embred kids that all americans,canadians and europeans do the same is it part of your culture?? Just because a few do it in South America don't mean the whole continant does..

[EpicTeaIsEpic]

@Cuauhtli47 Ever heard of migration?

[Cuauhtli47]

@EpicTeaIsEpic Mexico is in north america NOT south..nuff said..

[EpicTeaIsEpic]

@Cuauhtli47 You haven't heard of cannibal tribes in South America?

@enow0049

but holding grudges against a race for things that happend hundreds of years ago, despite how gruesome is just as bad.

Of course, I dont like how cortez is made out to be a hero, ok sure he didnt successfully beat the aztecs in a war against them but I feel he should be praised so much for what he did such as christianising tribals and destroying their culture.

@Cuauhtli47 GOOGLE it. it's all over the internet. And what you are saying does not make it untrue. Using your logic that would mean they also didn't sacrifice captured victims because they still don't practice it today.

@BootyBot Also the spanish were not able to eradicate the aztec and maya culture to this day there is natives in southern parts of Mexico and Guatemala who still practice there beliefs and still speak there native language and cant speak spanish if those drawings are true than these natives would still be eating humans today, something i'v never heard of..
