Can I just give props for the narrators for pronouncing those really hard Aztec names?!!! Dude, even us Spanish speakers can't always pronounce them. Some of my Mexican friends have difficulty with some names. Great video!
Can you do a weird history on the history of house pets? First recorded house pets, strangest house pets, evolution of house pets, etc.? I feel like there must be quite a bit of information about this that we don't know!
Gotta say I'm quite impressed with the narrator's ability to pronounce so many difficult names of the people & places in this video. It shows that he took the time to look up the proper pronunciations... something many narrators from different channels can't be bothered to do. Bravo, Weird History guy!!
Please make a video of where the Aztec/Mexica people originated from and how all Native Americans are closely related. How they share the same language, DNA and other similarities. Also include how they were all interconnected via a vast network system of canoes and human transports.
Of all the Native American tribes..wasn't the Pawnee the closest...having a lot of carvings looking like Aztec gods ? Their forehead and nose bridge was closely related , more than other American tribes. And is it true they also would bound a woman captive to a post and slowly shoot arrows into her body, but not to kill quickly, thus allowing more blood flow into the soil to assure fertility of the land ? (wish I could remember where I read all that). I am going to try and find that again
The Aztecs originated from tribes from the south west USA who migrated down simply over the fact most south west tribes are part of the uto-Aztecan lineage . Some archeologist have even said Utah was the main location .
@@cierakitty really? Why do hypocrites that burnt people alive, in New England, over witches, have to always talk about Native violence. Could give you a list of crap you all did!
It’s important to remember that a lot of what we “know” about the Roman Catholic conquest of Central American is similar to what we “know” about the Roman conquest of Western Europe. Vital details of these cultures might be lost forever, but more power to the people still trying to piece it together.
The church considered the christian converted people as "civilized" and the pagan, non-christian polytheistic people as "savage". So massive conversion was considered a task to be achieved for the glory of God.
Thank you, as always, for the fantastic content! Would you please consider making a video about Mayan hieroglyphs, especially the history of how they were deciphered, etc? I know only a little about it, but I do know a Spanish (religious nutjob) SOB did his level best to wipe the language out completely. Maybe start with the Dresden Codex...
@@nameless1016probably less barbaric then the Spaniards who participated in the inquisition thousands of sacrifices in the name of their empire and religion. Spaniards are a peaceful people
Can you do a video of the near Mexican invasion of the US that almost occurred and was plotted by Pancho Villa, wanting to unite his armies of the north with the armies of the south lead by Zapata? According to legend, Pancho Villa wrote a letter to Zapata wanting to unite their armies to reconquer the south western United States
It's not a huge deal, but I feel the title could use a slight overhaul. Reading it before clicking on the video had me under the impression that this was about the tomb of THE FIRST Aztec Emperor, rather than the first tomb of an Aztec Emperor to be uncovered. Like I said, not a huge deal, but a slight change to the title would be appreciated.
As I sit here chuckling, I wanted to tell you how much I enjoy your videos. You making learning fun, thank you so very much. Be well and remain confident.
The sign was originally was just a eagle on a catus plant, the snake was later added by the Spanish conquerors. They used it as a sign of the divine message of imperial rule by the Spanish over the plumed serpent God Quetzalcoatl. If you look up the first Mexican flag, there is no serpent depicted in the scene.
In my tomb there would be a ton of fabics along with lots and lots of yarn. Probably would be nice to have all my sewing machines (I have 4 and use them all). I started hand sewing dresses for my Barbie dolls since I was about 9. Then my mom taught me to crochet when I was about 10 (so I should also pack all of my crochet hooks and patterns).
One deity that always caught my attention is, Huixtocihuatl. She is the goddess of the sea and Salt, and apparently also had issues with her siblings. I can't find out much about her, and I would really like to see her explored in this channel.
I have never understood why ancient civilizations believed they had to make the sun rise every day. Egyptians believed their religions and the pharaoh accomplished this. The only attempt at addressing this, that I have ever seen, was the suggestion that some peoples in Mexico had abandoned a former homeland because of volcanic activity. Volcanic ash can blot out the sun, as can eclipses. But eclipses are rare and complete eclipse is only experienced in certain places during the event. In either case, when the sun is covered it feels a lot cooler. Or maybe ancient peoples remembered terrible climate events where clouds obscured the sun long enough to cause crops to fail? It seems like thousands of years of survival would give a hint that the sun is constant and predictable. It boggles my mind that anyone would think sacrifice is necessary to make sure the sun appears every day. There must have been times in the dim past when the sun did not seem to be so predictable. Can we imagine a desperate group of people who struggled through a long period when the sun was covered or not warm enough to grow crops? Perhaps toward the end of the event, in utter desperation, the ultimate sacrifice was made, and the next day the sun returned to normal activity? Something like that could be responsible for thousands of people being sacrificed over the years to come. If the sun once more became cool, more and more sacrifices could be offered until everything was normal again.
ancient people and culture is fascinating and creepy cannibals human sacrifices. i heard India has a million gods. whats interesting is the fact that most Christian religions worship on Sunday the day of the sun.
I mean people today still believe that a man un robes will send you to hell for nos following the rules he made. So how is it far fetched that people believed the sun was a God?
@@chapogyr It makes perfect sense that the sun was god. Akhenaten's Aten imagery is beautiful; Aten, the sun, giver of life with caressing hands and the ankh, symbol of life. What I wonder about -- I bet Weird History could do a great job exploring it -- is how humans got the idea that their actions were needed to keep the sun on its course? It's not just human sacrifice. Egyptians had their religious rituals intended for the same purpose. I was born and have lived much of my life in mountainous regions where I loosely comment that winters are 8 months long. I can sort of see how peoples in the north -- especially the far north where the sun barely shows all winter -- might wonder when the sun would return to change the seasons but Egypt and Mexico are blessed with abundant sunshine. As for hell....it isn't exactly in the bible....but it is a great concept for political control. ;-)
I want to know who the narrator is. I’ve heard his voice before these videos I think. He is interesting and up beat. He also does an incredible job pronouncing words and names. He does it with such precision and respect I find it undeniable that he’s one of the better TH-cam narrators out there.
at a buffet, i personally sneak corndogs into the buffet so others can enjoy them. I hide 6 corndogs in my jacket pockets. it then, is a joy for me to see other patrons of the establishment eat my corndogs thinking they were part of the buffe
Hopefully many of you from watching this video will realize that many words we think of as “Spanish” are actually from Nahuatl and other indigenous languages
Informative. Thanks. Enjoyed the irreverent side comments a lot. It was observed in the commentary that the Aztecs had a very structured society with families of higher ups. And that the higher ups did not spare any expense to be 'higher ups.' I am reminded of the Mayan 'higher ups,' resorted to public self mutilations so that they might continue to be 'higher ups.' In the western traditions, there were sporting events in Coliseums and so on? Politics as expected as given from a historical perspective?
Please make a video about the Kashmiri pandits genocide of 1990. The Kashmir files has caused emotional awakening and i would really appreciate it if your channel featured something about it
Since the Queen of England is sick, can you do a weird history on some of the islands like Jamaica, Grenada, and the Caymans? A quick history of that would be interesting, cause if she does pass. I am betting there is going to be a lot of politics going on in those islands afterwards.

Would love to see a video on the Inca civilization! You guys have done several Aztec videos and at least one Maya, but no Inca. Love the channel!
This is super interesting episode. I can't wait to see more about the discovery.

The Maya never died out. That’s how. They’re literally still around today.
great vid. I'd love to see a vid about some of the aztec warriors, and their upbringing / training ,etc . :)

@@nameless1016 it did bring them results 🤷🏾♂️ otherwise why else would the Spanish have taken over everything they had

Ya, I reads like you say.
They could also throw a "Might" or "Maybe" in there, too. Not a flat statement of discovery.
Yup, I agree, that's exactly how I read it.
I agree that was a bit slippery of them
It still reads like that.
A+ video!
LOVE IT! What a fascinating topic and history!

I just want to say I really enjoy this channel. Good work to the team. :)
Congratulations on your pronunciation of Nahuatl. Your's is the only video I've watched that got it right.
Love watching these history videos. Great stuff 😀
I am impressed by the pronunciaition of Huitzilopochtli. 10/10
The sign was originally was just a eagle on a catus plant, the snake was later added by the Spanish conquerors. They used it as a sign of the divine message of imperial rule by the Spanish over the plumed serpent God Quetzalcoatl. If you look up the first Mexican flag, there is no serpent depicted in the scene.
I've looked it up and it is indeed ambiguous if the snake was ever part of the legend. Some scholars advocate it, others don't
In my tomb there would be a ton of fabics along with lots and lots of yarn. Probably would be nice to have all my sewing machines (I have 4 and use them all).
I started hand sewing dresses for my Barbie dolls since I was about 9. Then my mom taught me to crochet when I was about 10 (so I should also pack all of my crochet hooks and patterns).
The fact that he managed to pronounce Aztec names/Nahuatl better than Spanish is pretty interesting
Awesome! Another fantastic video
