Quote HistoryQuoted: Not a tragedy in the slightest. The Aztec's were one of the most evil cultures to ever exist on the face of this earth and their destruction instantly made the world a better place than it was with them in it. Yup... evil fucks. Like the child rapists in this country. Is it as bad as then? Not yet, but maybe soon. |

Child rape wasn’t even illegal for the Aztecs, iirc… nor child prostitution… then there is cannibalism, human sacrifice, slavery…. Not even in the same ballpark as today. Kind of an odd attempt to compare, honestly. |

Quote HistoryQuoted: Those pyramids were there before the Aztecs More and more I've come to believe things like this. So many people credited with building iconic civilizations were primitive enough in their ways to bring to doubt the events that they've been credited with. I'm not saying that all of the great civilizations were squatters, but I do believe that some were. |

The Spanish were almost obliterated on those causeways during “la Noche Triste” because of their lust for gold. In their flight from the palace to escape the city while under attack a bunch fell into the water and drowned under the weight of what they had plundered. Others were too slow because of it and were seized by Aztecs. Their buddies fighting on the causeway could apparently see them being dragged kicking and screaming up the steps of the temples where they had their still beating hearts ripped from their chest, limbs torn off and partially eaten or their heads ripped off and thrown back on the causeway to their friends. There’s a lesson in there somewhere…
The Spanish apparently never learned it though as they still try to claim every ounce of treasure found on land or sea. Also, if ever there was a culture that deserved every bit of the annihilation they got, it was the Aztecs. Fuck those people. |

I agree, but the psychotic, sociopathic gender fluid child mutilation that leftists and libtards advocate for, puts us way too close to being an evil, bloodthirsty society. And how many viable fetus' have found their way into garbage cans in our sick society? Yeah... we're getting to be ripe for a much deserved destruction. |

Quote HistoryQuoted: Yeah ok… So you disagree that we're not headed in that direction? I wish I had your optimism. Or maybe I prefer a realistic notion of where this all ends up. One way or another, our fuckin' number is about to be called. Ironically, the people from across the Rio Grande will be a big part of our destruction. Believe what you will. |

I heard they'd never seen horses before, and when they first saw the Spanish horseman they thought they were some kinda centaurs...
Can you imagine what the Mexicans must have been thinking?  Attached File |

The Aztec's were one of the most evil cultures to ever exist on the face of this earth and their destruction instantly made the world a better place than it was with them in it. One of the most evil cultures that we know of and that was because of the Spanish writing down multiple accounts of their evilness. There were probably multiple just as bad or worse in ancient history that we will never know anything about due to no advanced cultures writing about them. |

I bet a lot of Spaniards were amazed at the city, their feelings toward the Aztec culture notwithstanding.
I'm sure that not all of them would view Mexico City as an improvement if they say it today. |

Would've been nice if they would have left the city center with all the temples and other near by buildings. Would've been something to see the Tzompantli.
 Recently saw a mini series on Cortes' conquest of the Aztecs, called "Hernan". It was pretty good, only wish the costume team would've done a bit better job on the conquistador armor. |

Quote HistoryQuoted: False. The Spaniards that first saw it said it was more beautiful than any European city of the time. Quote HistoryQuoted: Quoted: The thousands of "not-Aztec" allies the Spaniards used to help them defeat the Aztecs probably didn't think it was beautiful. False. The Spaniards that first saw it said it was more beautiful than any European city of the time. When we saw so many cities and villages built in the water and other great towns on dry land we were amazed and said that it was like the enchantments (...) on account of the great towers and cues and buildings rising from the water, and all built of masonry. And some of our soldiers even asked whether the things that we saw were not a dream? (...) I do not know how to describe it, seeing things as we did that had never been heard of or seen before, not even dreamed about. —?Bernal Díaz del Castillo, The Conquest of New Spain It really must've been something to see for that time and "civilization". |

Quote HistoryQuoted: why did they build a city in the middle of a lake? Quote HistoryQuoted: why did they build a city in the middle of a lake? The myth goes, The state religion of the Mexica civilization awaited the fulfillment of an ancient prophecy: the wandering tribes would find the destined site for a great city whose location would be signaled by an eagle with a snake in its beak perched atop a cactus (Opuntia), which had grown from the heart of Copil.

Quote HistoryQuoted: Yes, you could buy women back then in Mexico City. Just like today. You could/can rent women too, then/now. Hookers chewed gum in an exaggerated way, to advertise oral sex skills, back then and just like today. Writing from back in the day is interesting reading. “Hookers chewed gum “……wow, did not know that was a thing

Ice-cold cerveza? Running water? Spotify? Hell- a quick trip to the aeropuerto to go home… |

I’m no PM bug, but gold and silver are more valuable than cultures that practice cannibalism and mass human sacrifice. Access to some of the best agricultural areas on the planet and tearing down some pyramids was a big bonus. |

Quote HistoryQuoted: They also ate the surrounding tribes. Quote HistoryQuoted: Quoted: Quoted: Looks nice and pretty, but its all BS. The lake was brackish, but they where able to grow corn, beans etc? The story says 200k farmers, plus people plus churches etc. 200k farmers would have had to been half the people just to feed them all. From a google search with modern farming you can feed a family of four from 1 acre for 1 year, also per google during medieval times it took 2-3 acres to feed one person. so 200k farmers alone would take 400-600k acres. Thats a square that measures 25 miles on each side, and thats just to feed the farmers on the low side. The Aztecs forced surrounding tribes to pay food tribute to them. That kept them with food. They also ate the surrounding tribes. Don't be judging other people's cultures (except male cis-hetero Western culture- that one is different) |
