Don't miss this deep dive into the life of Gonzalo Guerrero, the Spanish conquistador who became a Maya.
He did it for his family he had a Mayan wife and sons that was his reason to make the switch and it’s totally understandable
How does that make sense. He became Mayan first. Earned their respect. Then had got a Mayan wife. He married a chieftains daughter. Well after is integration into Mayan culture
@@Totaro77Exactly. He did it cause he wanted to and cause his heart & the new life he chose was with the Mayans, not because he had to do it to save his Mayan family as if he didn’t have no other choice, while he got his Mayan family cause he decided to become and was accepted as a Mayan, to start of.
He betrayed Spain the child of Rome and paid dearly for it

TY but remove Canon in D. It distracts too much.
Very well done... u have a new subscriber sir
Gonzalo el macho prieto 😂
"según algunos cronistas se convirtió a su religión"... Esta conversión implicaba:
"Consiente que a sus propios hijos les aplanen la frente con una tablilla. También sufre los rituales de mutilación, por los cuales los guerreros demuestran su desprecio al dolor y la muerte. Su asimilación e integración en el pueblo que lo había adoptado fue tan grande que se dice que permitió que su primogénita Ixmo, fuera sacrificada en Chichén Itzá para acabar con una plaga de langostas. Sin embargo, no hay evidencia de que sucediera esto." No hay pruebas, pero resulta más verosímil que lo opuesto
Resistance is futile... discussion is irrelevant
Muy bueno
gracias
Nice
Thanks
Good
thank u
Interesting
thanks
I know, I was awesome!
Wouldn’t this time period of been the Aztec instead of Mayan?
I'm sorry I'm late to the party but the answer is just region aztecs were further north. Not in the Yucatan to my knowledge.
They both existed in different areas at that time
Avatar, 😄
Even he knew he was on the wrong side so he inverted into the natives land
What choice did he really have, what would you have done?
I don’t believe this is true.
It's documented in the Spanish chronicles of that time
Getting low grades in history and then babbling nonsensical gibberish is no way to go through life
He saw the truth European evil.
As if the natives weren't just as evil. If not more.
Yeah bro 30,000 blood sacrifices on a pyramid. And the European Christians were evil? Dumb and envious

@OptimusPrinceps_Augustus that's always the response. Huh. It's not a reason to wipe out almost a billion natives which I am descended from. If u say that you can say the same about the people who were killed needlessly in Germany by the government in ww2. So if u say that they were killing one another or should of fought harder the same fan vecsaid about those people also. Read the Bible which I'm a believer in they were innocent throughout their history also.
Nice
thanks
