My something great grandfather or great uncle I forgot but when I was a child the home I was born in had many pictures of him. Pretty shocking how he lived his life
I would even accept if the pronunciation was a "SH" sound like in "show" as the original name of the place comes from the nahuatl word "huaxyacac" meaning "place of the guaje tree" (a very common tree in the region who provides a pod with edible seeds). But the moment they pronounce it like a "Z" I realized there was little effort put into this video. No, thank you. (aside from that the Captivating History collection is not a very realiable source of information)
Fell? We moved to the mountains. The Spanish tried to conquer us, but was defeated multiple times by my ancestor. To the point where Cortez wrote to the king of Spain and inform him of his loss. Also, informing the king that they will leave them alone. Them and the Mixe.
Yeah we gotta keep reminding people about our roots if not they will re write our history my father is from Oaxaca and he’s Zapotec and I’ll keep on reminding people about out people
Monte Alvan was built to welcome serpent god not for humans. See huge stair steps was definitely not for people. But nobody knows the truth. IT bothers me when you make it sound as if you know the truth. Please don't tell our stories
Bro we still alive . We still celebrate our culture and we still speak out language. Although it is fading however . A rebirth an embrace has happened in Los Angeles by American born Zapotec interested in our culture . If you’re from Los Angeles in mid city you know . Off western and pico is the hub of the Zapotec ppl .
They became complacent around 900? That time period was when a mini ice age started until 1200-1300. It is far more likely that the cooler, dry climate played a big role! This then leads to food supply and water irregularities, this is often coupled with war & migrations & disease.
You can't forget about Benito Juarez. He was full blooded Zapotec and president of Mexico. I think the only indigenous president in the new world.

Since this entire video is about Oaxaca and its people, it would have been worth your while to learn that it’s pronounced wa-HA-ka, not wa-ZA-ka.
The "Z" is the sound for the Chinese letter version of "X".
@@Emilio_EZ-EFX_Zapata31697why would he be pronouncing the X in Oaxaca with a Z sound like in Chinese? And by Chinese do you mean Mandarin?

There are cities full of Zapotec people still speaking the language, keeping up traditions
we are not obscure the Zapotec people are alive and well today and so is our culture and customs.
Invaders will always find a rival faction to help wipe out their current or old-time adversaries.
