Funny how the egyptians, also near the equator on the other side of the world, also said you gotta deal with some real bullshit if you want to rest. Actually, the bardo thodol does as well
What do you mean by ‘we dominated’? These TH-camrs and average people don’t know there’s a difference between Mexica and Aztecs. The tribe that established the empire known as Tenochtitlán were the Mexica and NOT the Aztecs. Not all Mexicans today are Mexica or Aztecs descendants. The Mexica was one tribe and the Aztecs were 7 different tribes. The Mexica birthplace was Utah and they received a revelation from their god to go and find their version of the promised land. So the Mexica went south from Utah and on their journey the 7 tribes of the Aztecs followed them. The Mexica was basically the head tribe of the 7 Aztec tribes. So yeah not all Mexicans came from these tribes that I mentioned. So what do you mean by “WE”? Who are you to claim something you have no idea about. By the way, my great grandfather was a 14 generation removed grandson of Moctezuma II of the Mexica. The last true Emperor of the Mexica.
cus they don’t want people to know there was advance civilizations who mined gold and had aqueducts in North America. Gotta keep that for them white boys. Thats how they keep Mexican culture as just another “nonsense native tribe”
4:38 my grandma told me about this myth!! Except she kinda mixed it in with a couple of other things from Catholicism. I could never find the source of the myth she was referencing. She told me as a kid that if I shared my food with my dog, that when I die, my dog would be waiting for me to help me cross the river to get into heaven because it was thankful for how I treated it in life. I always figured she was somehow referring to the river Styx. However, being that we’re from Mexico, it makes a lot more sense that this is the myth she was referring to!
You might also like to hear this hindu story: In the final chapter of the Mahābhārata, known as the Swargarohana Parva (The Book of the Ascent to Heaven), Yudhishthira, the eldest of the Pandava brothers, embarks on his journey to heaven after the great war of Kurukshetra. As he ascends the Himalayas with his wife, Draupadi, and his brothers, they each fall one by one due to their worldly sins, leaving Yudhishthira as the sole survivor. A stray dog accompanies him throughout this arduous journey. When Yudhishthira finally reaches the gates of heaven, the god Indra invites him to enter. However, Indra insists that the dog cannot be allowed inside. Yudhishthira, known for his unwavering adherence to dharma (righteousness), refuses to abandon the dog. He argues that loyalty and compassion cannot be forsaken, even for the promise of heaven. Moved by his virtue, the dog reveals itself to be the god Dharma (Yudhishthira’s divine father) in disguise, testing Yudhishthira's commitment to righteousness. Yudhishthira’s refusal to abandon the dog ensures his full access to heaven.
It was, and that is perhaps why the Aztecs at least created all that deeply existential poetry. We are taking "to be or not to be" levels of verses here!
The Mayans were literally like you have to fight and be judged to earn a place in hell, they legit believed once you die you have to pass all these messed up trails and your reward was straight up Hell lol Edit:word
Mesoamerican Mythology is really cool to read but I feel its equally as underrated. Very good and informative video as always but damn thats some work to do just to get some rest after life. Btw I believe the name of the Iguana that guards the first level of Mictlan is Xochitónal.
The sacrifices were also used as a way to undermine possible rebellions against the Aztec Empire. The Aztecs used the heads from the sacrificed captured warriors to display them on the Tzompantli, a wall of human heads. When other civilizations came to pay the forced tribute, they had to walk in front of the Tzompantli.
Twin don’t argue with me if you’re not qualified. My great grandfather was 14 generations removed from Moctezuma II the Emperor of the Mexica, you know that tribe that built the greatest Empire on top of the Lake? Yeah you probably don’t know who we are. We’re not one of the 7 Aztec tribes, WE ARE FROM THE HEAD TRIBE THAT EXODUS OUT OF THE LAND OF WHITE MOUNTAINS AND SANDS AND UTAH A.K.A YUDAH!!!!
This was a great watch. Amazing as time moves in, I see i formative content in a new and creative way. I remember 10 years ago, I watched a history channel documentary on the aztecs that highlighted some folklore, hierarchy, and education/written language. Now this to add to my life experience about the ancient civilizations of America. Thank you.
Great video. You were very informative and I am so impressed at your ability to pronounce all those hard names correctly. You must’ve practiced a lot because they’re not easy to pronounce. Thanks for the video. God bless you.
well, The mayans (mayans were several groups of people) didn't really do human sacrifice the same way. most of their sacrifices were just the cuts rather than full on flayings and beheadings.
Could you imagine the boss battles?! I'm thinking magical weapons and charms like axes with feathers so the feather makes the axe weigh less so it swings faster. There's a lot one can do.
As a souls fan myself, we tried hard making a game about this. It's extremely hard to achieve since it requires a ton of resources and dedication to try to get the mythology right. My dedication was there 100% but external issues made it impossible. We made some strides but at the end, it all fell apart. Maybe someone else will have better luck. I have a demo on my channel of the 3d art I made that im extremely proud of, showing many lesser known mythological figures. I had a great time creating it and i would love to try again. But oh man is that hard Lol. Definitely has huge potential.
I'm from Mexico city with traceable roots to the Mexica empire, I don't know what Aztecs you talking about. But I can tell you that mayans were a scientist and technological tribe while Mexicas were more over war and conquering with a heavy based military structure as base of their culture.
No. Then you need to study Aztec more. That is a false depiction of Aztec and Mayan. Mayans were ruthless and violent people as well they were hardly whimps. Aztec werent just warriors they also had scientists and were technologically advanced. They had schools, mathematics, astronomy and poetry. They even 2 vast libraries of knowledge with all of it written down. (destroyed by the Spaniards unfortunately)
The Aztecs overthrew the Mayas and then they scattered in Central America. These tribes eventually became allies of the Spanish and who also participated in the destruction of the Aztec empire out of vengeance and genocide carried against them in retribution. Aztecs did survive after the conquest of the Mexica empire, their survivors then became Catholics and subjects of the Spanish crown and created another myth of worship. This is what occurred in history in summary. Not the black legend bs that Anglos like to tell.
Great question! There is one record I could find of a surprise blizzard in the city of Tenochtitlan in 1447. Most would have only seen it at the top of mountains in the distance, which I imagine would make it even more mystical to them.
They have six mountain with in seen distance outside of their city with giant ice glacier that receive snow. The Aztec were one of only a handful of pre industrial cultures that drank drinks with ice. At current day the amount of mountains with glacier in Mexico is less than ten.
As much as you researched this, one would think you would pronounce Mictlan correctly, you pronounce its ruler nearly perfect which is why I find it so hilarious lol. Thanks for the upload =]

I think he was just stating facts and the correlation between both society’s.. you could make the comparison between Greek society and early Roman society
The correlation is real because It is a savage practice. Im from south america and many native tribes here did not only human sacrifice but also ritualistic canibalism, Blood games, such as hunting captives and mass raping of the captives females from another tribes. These old customs need to be called savage because thats what they are.
@@DarknessandLore Your voices are extremely similar, to the point I could have sworn you were the one. Thanks for answering all the same. Great Video! :)
So much similarities with Mesopotamia.. I believe there was a one world civilization back then with local cultures interpreting the same origin story differently
The religious systems of both remind me a lot of a cult, sort of like Jim Jones meets North Korea meets fundamentalist Christian - but with magic mushrooms, weed, datura and peyote and a much more dramatic, incredible, out-there costumes and set design, regal pomp and circumstance. And much much more colorful, intense, and interesting lore. And those people had to have lived in fear all hours of day from living amid not so benign invisible forces. I get a shiver just thinking of the god of snot and the god of scabs. Very intense!
It depends on the region but Tezcatlipoca did not really destroy the first sun, he became the first sun, and the first humans told him why he is not more brighter. Then he rained giant human eating jaguars that ate all the giant humans. Then Quetzalcoatl became the second sun, but because the new humans did not complain Tezcatlipoca decided to fight Quetzalcoatl to bring the second apocalypse. He knew Quetzalcoatl would go all out since Tezcatlipoca is super strong. The strong winds of Quetzalcoatl killed humanity. The third sun was appointed to Tlaloc, who is also the god of rain. So Tez decided to flirt with Tlaloc's wife in front of him, and then he got depressed. No rain happened since he was too depressed to do his job, and the sun was too hot and dry. The humans complained to Tlaloc that they needed rain, so he made it rain-rain of fire. So humanity dies again. The fourth sun's job was given to the goddess of water and Tez decided to make her cry because no one complained on her job as the sun. She cry so much that she floods the world and humanity dies again. Then there is the fifth sun, which is the epic battle of Huitzilopochtli and the goddess of the moon. This is how I remember it but every region has a different bot.
The Toltecs were part of this complex group sometimes in marriage as a means of establishing just as European royalties did Also I’ve heard that the maya that did not always like the Aztec encroaching on the land they inhabited and would drop large rocks on top from a height to discourage them. Not being nearly as alter blood offering as the Aztec were, these ceremonies were held only on certain day of a specific year rather than savagely opening up chests times were much different for the maya and spirituality was leaned on much deeper
You need an update. Mayans are from Mexico, it was discovered like 3 years ago. Read about "Aguada Fenix" the oldest Mayan city ever discovered, it is in Mexico. Not Guatenala or Belice. Aguada Fenix
Thanks for adding your extra information! the Yucatan Peninsula that we mentioned in the video is in Mexico. They then spread to areas of Guatemala and Belize (e.g. Xunantunich in Belize) as we mentioned.
Actually the oldest city is nakbe in peten Guatemala. It dates 750 b.c aguada Fenix is "believe" to be the oldest, but no excavation has been done. It's the same as settlements in Guatemala that they do with lidar.
Mayans also settled in El Salvador. We have the ruins of Tazumal, San Andres and Sitio del Nino. Mayans left in 600CE after the eruption of the Ilopango volcano(now a lake). In 1000 or 1100 Toltecs from central Mexico migrated and settle. They were later known as Pipils which I’m a descendant of.

The third sun was appointed to Tlaloc, who is also the god of rain. So Tez decided to flirt with Tlaloc's wife in front of him, and then he got depressed. No rain happened since he was too depressed to do his job, and the sun was too hot and dry. The humans complained to Tlaloc that they needed rain, so he made it rain-rain of fire. So humanity dies again.
The fourth sun's job was given to the goddess of water and Tez decided to make her cry because no one complained on her job as the sun. She cry so much that she floods the world and humanity dies again. Then there is the fifth sun, which is the epic battle of Huitzilopochtli and the goddess of the moon.
This is how I remember it but every region has a different bot.
The Toltecs were part of this complex group sometimes in marriage as a means of establishing just as European royalties did
Also I’ve heard that the maya that did not always like the Aztec encroaching on the land they inhabited and would drop large rocks on top from a height to discourage them. Not being nearly as alter blood offering as the Aztec were, these ceremonies were held only on certain day of a specific year rather than savagely opening up chests times were much different for the maya and spirituality was leaned on much deeper
Cambodian mythology up next!
So many great Metal band names in this video lol Council of the Death Gods and Jaundice Demon are great lol
River of Pus

For the first attempt, were the animals all rank at Yokozuna?
You all need to play Curse of the Dead Gods. Literally peak mesoamerica soulsborn like game.

You need an update.
Mayans are from Mexico, it was discovered like 3 years ago.
Read about "Aguada Fenix" the oldest Mayan city ever discovered, it is in Mexico. Not Guatenala or Belice.
Aguada Fenix
Thanks for adding your extra information! the Yucatan Peninsula that we mentioned in the video is in Mexico. They then spread to areas of Guatemala and Belize (e.g. Xunantunich in Belize) as we mentioned.
Actually the oldest city is nakbe in peten Guatemala. It dates 750 b.c aguada Fenix is "believe" to be the oldest, but no excavation has been done. It's the same as settlements in Guatemala that they do with lidar.
Mayans also settled in El Salvador. We have the ruins of Tazumal, San Andres and Sitio del Nino. Mayans left in 600CE after the eruption of the Ilopango volcano(now a lake). In 1000 or 1100 Toltecs from central Mexico migrated and settle. They were later known as Pipils which I’m a descendant of.
😂😂😂how are mayans from mexico if mexico didnt exist as a country until the spaniards arrived? U think they had borders back then?m it was all 1 giant continent to them
6:44 blade house - didn’t they use obsidian blades at that time ? Interesting commonality

The underworld gave me Dante's Inferno vibes
look at that, we stopped sacrificing people and the world is about to end.
2:10 sun destroyed by floods. Nice
6:34 I call flame house~
Much rather be on fire than freezing my bits off.
Shire the other houses sound cooler but think about it.
blade house looks sick until you wanna sit down
House of darkness, Id stub my toe once and be over it immediately
Jaguar house.... Look my cat's bad enough if I'm late for his meal time. Jaguar would immediately put me on the menu
And bat house... I think he'd get sick of my sarcastic ass since he already has Alfred to deal with
Edit: of course flame is last. So I'll have to deal with it all anyways. Checkmate'd
