If you read history you will know that the great people of Aztecs were inhabits the land of central Mexico. The famous jaguar and eagle warrior, are among the finest warrior ever recorded on history. I remember playing the game of Microsoft Age Of Empires, my favorite tribe is the mayan and aztec.
It reminds me that I have not finished reading the Graham Hancock book titled “The Fingerprints of the Gods”, that described a different point of view than common archiological theories. Either way, the book inspire me of the greatness of what once was a great civilization.
“Often the term “Aztec” refers exclusively to the people of Tenochtitlan, situated on an island in Lake Texcoco, who called themselves Mexica Tenochca or Colhua-Mexica.”
“Two of the primary architects of the Aztec empire were the half-brothers Tlacaelel and Moctezuma I, nephews of Itzcoatl. Moctezuma I succeeded Itzcoatl as Hueyi Tlatoani in 1440. Although he was also offered the opportunity to be tlatoani, Tlacaelel preferred to operate as the power behind the throne. Tlacaelel reformed the Aztec state and religion. According to some sources, he ordered the burning of most of the extant Aztec books claiming that they contained lies. He thereupon rewrote the history of the Aztec people, thus creating a common awareness of history for the Aztecs. This rewriting led directly to the curriculum taught to scholars and promoted the belief that the Aztecs were always a powerful and mythic nation; forgetting forever a possible true history of modest origins. One component of this reform was the institution of ritual war (the flower wars) as a way to have trained warriors, and created the necessity of constant sacrifices to keep the Sun moving.”
