The Spanish: horrified by Aztec human sacrifice.
Also the Spanish: burned "heretics" alive.
St Peter the Aleut is a good example of this
Aztec : horrified by purepechas
Men: purepecha 50k> aztecs 30k lasted a day
I love how you actually drawn all tribes in Mesoamerica detailing their differences highlighting that they were different cultures. I was thinking that all of them looked the same.
Thanks :D I pretty much thought the same too..but while researching this video I started noticing there was some pretty distinctive way of dress for alot of the warriors on the pottery stone carving etc...so I tried to pick some of the more unique looking one from each to try to draw my little cartoon dudes from....I had a lot of fun making this one...I am super glad you liked it :D
"Tribes" really isn't accurate. As the video showed, Mesoamerica was predominately filled with urban societies with state governments and complex social systems. They were way closer to bronze or even iron age europe then they were to tribal socieites.
Tribes?
Jabberwockxeno ikr they think because they are referred to as “Indians” they must be of a tribe.
@Hineni John3:16 "Key Word" ancient Egyptian or Krmites Ancient!! Meaning the first the originators... Thry were black. Thst Caucazoid nonsense came from a 12th century' racist sociologist who was followed by german orientalists.
You do kno that right.???!!
Mate this is so good. As an enthusiast of Mesoamerican history I can safely say this is Incredible work.
Thanks, man I appreciate it!
I also agree ;) This video is pretty good, although I have to say that there wasn't a Toltec invasion or conquest of Yucatan. There used to be a hypothesis about that, but that idea has been rejected by many archaeologists based on the actual evidence from Yucatan :) Nevertheless I do appreciate your work promoting knowledge. We definitely need more channels like yours! ;)
Agreed 👍, i have also heard the theory that the Tarascan” peoples might have migrated north from coastal South America. aside from their language being unique it is also said they frequently used some cast metals, which was quite uncommon in the pre-columbian americas.. you explained things very well, was glad to hear some input on some of the lesser known nations of the region, besides the the Aztecs” or Mayans”

Then how about you make a video if you can explain things better..
First name last name
There were most likely many, although the conquest destroyed many scriptures and oral traditions before they could be deciphered..

My family is has Zapotec blood. We're from Oaxaca and both my parents are from a Zapotec village. Its so hard to find information on the Zapotec civilization or I'm just bad a research. Thank you for this video and not exclusively talking about the Maya and Aztec.
You should request information or seek some help from the official institutions like INAH, INBA or academic people from UNAM
I'll look into that. thanks
Wolf-Jester my dad side speak one of the zapotec dialects and my moms side speak nahuatl
You are Zapotec.
Look up Irma Pineda, she is a Zapotec poet. I am making shirts in native languages of the Western Hemisphere and I took a phrase from her poetry one titled I will never parish in Zapotec, in Zapotec it’s Qui Zuuyu naa gate. She translates it also in Spanish unfortunately not in English
This is the single most underrated channel on CZcams.
Thanks dude!
:D Thank you ....It is very encouraging to hear so....I like to make videos on subjects that are ignored....love to draw and rant.....so happy to see CZcams viewers agree and disagree with me....we live in a marvelous age
Absolutely agree. Sometimes the most interesting stories are the ones you don't hear of very often.
When you start finding more about history you'll find out that its alway much more complex than what it seems. Like how Aztecs and Mayas where only two groups among a crowd of other civilizations from mesoamerica.
They teach you what they want in schools.. history isnt real history, they skim the surface
They were only two who were present when Spaniards came
@@milekrizman probably a couple of tribes that were completely wiped out due to disease and slave labor, whose culture is lost because the Spanish burned their books and enslaved those with the oral legends.
@@milekrizman spanish actually encountered other tribes before they spotted the Aztecs. Once that happened they helped out those tribes to overthrow the Aztecs
@@milekrizman not true the tarscans never lost a war againts the mexica and the real name is purepecha also they were around when the spanirds got here im from erongaricuaro michoacan one of the first villiges that allied with tatiacuri our hero who united the purepecha

This is great, it shows that pre Columbian america is not just the aztecs maya and inca... thank you
I had to explain to an adult American last week that yes, in fact, there were cities in North America during the European Middle Ages. He said “I don’t remember any cities in North America between 800 and 1100AD.” In response to my assertion that city life here may have been better than city life over there. Opinion of course, but the cities were actually there! I pointed out just a handful of the dozens mentioned in this video. Complete ignorance on his part. This stuff should be taught in schools here. We learn a ton about Mesopotamia, which is half the earth away and pretty irrelevant to the USA. But we don’t learn about great civilizations in our backyard.
I agree with you. While the mesoamericans we're building pyramids rivaling the Egyptians without the use of horses and the wheel, had sewers and aquaducts while Europeans were throwing waste out of their windows, and we're charting the skies and making accurate calenders that rivaled the Greeks. I hear a lot of rascist talk of how mestizo aka current day Mexicans have low IQs.
Pichkalu Pappita crassrockers5
Wrong and wrong, both of you.
1. Confirmation bias on waste-throwing. Why is this myth so prevalent: because people everywhere don’t usually note it when things go as normal. Thus, when things *don’t* go as normal (aka. people have to throw shit out themselves because the sewers can’t handle it and the guys in charge of going door to door and carting shit away are overworked and unavailable), there will be notice. Hence, instances of people throwing shit out the window are noted, especially when the city as a whole is rundown and badly-planned, whereas instances where they don’t won’t be.
2. Intelligence itself doesn’t rise over time; *infrastructural base* does. Why? Simple: getting dumber over periods of hundreds of years is impossible: time scale is just too short. More likely (and as always happened), every culture which used to produce much learning stopped because it decayed, collapsed or otherwise found itself in a situation where forward research had to be shelved for higher priorities (ie. survival).
Moreover, technology doesn’t just work on its own once you have it; you have to have the tools to build what you want, and that requires resources. For example, put a physicist in a wilderness and his knowledge of physics won’t mean shit if he can’t hunt or gather or build shelter or farm.
And resources are something a dying empire is going to be strapped for.
Thus, the European Dark Age wasn’t a regression in technology: it represented the loss of a centralized authority (Roman Empire) which could put it into use in a meaningful way.
Same with everyone elses’ dark ages.
Pretty irrelevant to the USA? Are you kidding?
@@makky6239 our culture isn’t descended from Mesopotamian civilizations. We come from Romans and even more so the Barbarians they fought against constantly. We used Greece as a model but European civilization isn’t a continuation of ancient Greece but simply a weird homage to it. Nor was Rome directly descended from Greece. Again, just a weird fan club. Most of what Europe gleaned from ancient civilizations was filtered through Islamic scholarship anyway. So yeah Mesopotamia has little to do with Europe directly. Other than the fact that it’s like 6 degrees of Kevin Bacon. Everyone is connected. Just by how much...
Mesoamerican history is super complex, confusing and interesting, you did an amazing job covering it, even better than Mexican historians
@estaocupadoYahawahbashamYahawashi I mean you can state your opinion but you can't tell him the truth.
Nah
Jaja qué?
This video is oversimplified, do some research first.
With this type of comments the only thing you are doing is telling foreign people that we are stupid or something.
@@sanmartinovallevictorjuven3744 Lo siento, pero es un buen trabajo, es un resumen, soy aficionado a la historia universal y lamentablemente muchos de los historiadores Mexicanos suelen enfurecerse mucho cuando se habla de la conquista, aparte que no son objetivos, me han gustado en lo que a videos se refiere los de personas extranjeras, ya que son mas objetivos
PD. Soy de México 🇲🇽
@@LORD_OSMYRK El vídeo no es malo, es muy entretenido pero no es algo como para alabarse.
Sobre lo otro, te entiendo perfectamente, no me gusta mucho ese discurso que tienen los historiadores cómo Paco Taibo etc. Parece que quieren más introducir su agenda política o su manera de interpretar la historia más que analizarla y estudiarla.
Por otra parte es un gusto ver qué otros mexicanos se aventuren a ver otro tipo de contenido y no quedarse con lo nacional.
Saludos, también soy de México 😉🇲🇽
I’m half Mexican half Salvadoran. I know nothing about my culture or ancestral background , so I thank you for making this video. I want to learn more
Please do take some effort to learn about your ancestors and record them too.Its so good to be in touch with our traditions and rituals ,then we don't loose the lineage .The conversion business has ruined all this its hard truth. It pains to see this kind of things like I don't know my past .🙏🙏
So what races are you mixed with from those two countries of your nationality?
@@melissafreeman7416 huh?
@@iloveToonLink101 She's asking what is your family mix with? My family are mixed with native, spanish, and arab
@@jinxoculican6139 my grandpa is native to El Salvador, pretty sure he has no Spanish blood according to him but I could always have him do a DNA test. But Im mixed with the same as you! Arab, Spanish, and native. Also Portuguese
The tarascan definitely interest me, since my family is from that region. They were more settled in western Mexico in the modern state of Michoacan.
Yo! My family is Tarascan, but they live in more central Mexico in Guanajuato
Panzas verdes.
What many fail to know is that ,as stated in this video,the Mexica, pronounced more,like mejikuh, attempted to take over the tarascans. (Purepechas) they tried to but couldn't get close to tzintzuntzan the capital of the tarascans
They were skilled blacksmiths,coppersmiths,masons,worked with various leathers/hides.
That's why today some of the best copper artisans are still around quiroga the capital of carnitas.
Or in Guanajuato they are known for the leather aka Panza's Verdes. What history fails to mention is towards the end ,the Aztecs begged and begged for help from the tarascans once they were being ravaged by the Spaniards. Tarascans said kick rocks. The only reason the Spaniards were able to get close to tzintzuntzan was disease. However unlike the Aztecs,the tarascans were able to work a treaty and remained in power because the Spaniards were still very much fearful of the tarascans gaining traction and wiping them out.
@@jrkustomz5538 actually after the treaty was made the Spanish imprisoned the ruler of the Tarascans and tortured him to death because they thought he was hiding treasure
@@JC-mn2ll wrong,if you're referencing Guzman who was later excommunicated for his savagery,wasn't based upon Spanish law but his own greed. The bishop quiroga ,which many monuments and streets and the most famous city for carnitas was built and named after him,he was who reunited and made amends with the tarascans and the Spaniards. Otherwise the tarascans would of been wiped out. Spain didn't know Guzman was terrorizing the locals. One lucky sailor was able to smuggle a message back to Spain. So it wasn't essentially the Spaniards that ruined the relations but a single man. Kinda of what happened later on in history with other countries. Still not to be confused with the Spaniards ruining the tarascan state but merely one man. Spain did right by sending the right men to fix everything and help the indigenous people rather than simply saying well sorry guys too bad so sad we own all of you now. Kinda like other countries have done.
Amazing history!! As a Mexican it’s sad to hear the book 📖 were destroyed. We couldn’t learn so much more history of the Americas.!!
read a book called america is the old true world.. start there.. it’s self published.. that’s how you’ll know you have the right book
Thank you for focusing on other civilizations besides the big two (Aztec and the Maya) but also for stating that the Tlaxcaltec alliance and European disease were the two key factors in the conquest of the Aztecs. It gives us more agency in a sense
a recent Mayan city-state was discovered dating back to about 600 BC. which had: hieroglyphics math, carved Stone, large buildings, pyramids, and Roads Made of Stone.
Old post, but anyone have any links?
@@D33Lux same

Just ran into your channel and I already love it! I got so excited when you mentioned the Purepechas/Tarascans because people hardly ever mention them, let alone talk about them. They were big rivals of the Aztecs and were the major players of the area at the time, its a shame we don't know so much about these other cool civilizations. Your video was very informative and hope to find more videos like yours.

So true! I also come from the Zapotec people. I wish I knew more about my indigenous roots!

LANGUAGE. Not dialect. The Tarascans spoke Purepecha a language not related to any other in the region like the basques in Spain or Korean. I'm pretty sure that is what you meant but I wanted to clarify for those who might not know the difference. Regardless fantastic video I loved the fact that you brought in so many other civilizations to the picture!
I remember suggesting this to you! Fantastic video! Your channel is great. So much better than the "Aztecs and Maya lived there and then the Spanish showed up. . ." that people usually say.
Thank you Epimetheus, I really enjoy your videos! 👍
Awesome Javier! Thank You for watching :) I am glad you found my channel!
Magnificent video. I wish there was more study on this too. Native American history as a whole is severely underrepresented or misunderstood. We need more of this.
Also pronunciation:
*Méxica - MEH-shee-kah (X is actually a sh sound because of mistransliteration by Spaniards)
*Aztec - AS-tek (Z is actually an S, again because of Spanish)
*Méxica is what they traditionally name themselves. The use of Aztec was popularized after the invasion of Spaniards. Aztec is said to be the name of the Méxica people's ancestors from their mythological place of origin, Aztlan (As-tłan)
Lake Texcoco - TESH-koh-koh
Méxica capital Tenochtitlán - teh-notch-tee-TŁAHN ("tl" is more like a breathy L sound or a mix of Th and L)
Tlaxcala - *TŁAH-sh-kala
Mixtec - MEESH-tek
Zapotec - SAH-poh-tek
Thanks! :)
You're inccorrect on several. In Nahuatl, the penultimate syllable is stressed. Please just look up basic phonology of Nahuatl before posting as to not spread misinformation. With that said, it'd be...
Me-SHE-ca
Tesh-CO-co
Te-noch-TEET-lan
Tlash-CA-la
Teo-ti-HUA-can (with the 'hua' sound pretty much like a Southern US accent of 'what' as 'hwat' -- though excluding the 't' in it of course'
The case of 'Zapotec', and 'Mixtec' is different though since they slightly deviate from their original 'Zapoteca' and 'Mixteca' -- singular forms being 'Zapotecatl' and 'Mixtecatl'. But with that said, they'd be
Za-po-TE-ca
Meesh-TE-ca
Those two instances are some of the few words where the Spanish didn't fuck up the stress of the words.
@@teawizard4416 I'm just sad they didn't save the books. Probably one of the biggest reasons I dislike religion, although I don't think there's anything wrong with worship, this is a really nasty blemish on organized religion for me.
@@Potatotenkopf Yeah, I feel the same and think about that a good bit. The accumulated knowledge on a multitude of things of distinct and unique cultures generated over a millenia just lost due to the the whims of Catholic fanaticism. Sucks a lot (to put it lightly) in general for obvious reasons, but even more so for someone fascinated with Mesoamerica like myself.
Religious zealotry has and will always be a problem. Hell, we still have similar things going on even in Australia with recent aboriginal converts destroying and or desecrating the very sites of their own ancestors. Or ISIS destroying infinitely priceless archaeological sites. Strange and sad world.
@@teawizard4416 yeah it's all really sad when someone destroys the relics of the past and books, especially if the stuff that was destroyed was unique and couldn't be found anywhere else, one of the biggest losses of knowledge in my opinion is when a fire destroyed most of the library of Alexandria.
Thanks very much for making it so easy to have an overview,
saved me lots of time to begin my interest on the Toltec civilization.
Keep up the hard work, thanks again.
As a man who grew up in the United States I wish they would teach more about the amazing and ancient cultures of the places we now inhabit. It is an absolute atrocity how these cultures have basically disappeared from the world. These civilizations have contributed to so much to humanity and it is almost all forgotten. It truly is sad.
Ditto.
I love how you made the Toltec figures look like the atlantean statues of tula , yes I noticed and I appreciate it
Awesome video! We are in Mexico now and have visited a bunch of Mesoamerican sites but none of the tour guides gave us such a neat summary, thanks so much!
Thank you for covering so many!
I love to learn about Mexica, Maya and Olmec, but it was information about Tlaxcalan Republic that I found most interesting. I also really enjoyed the Zapotec and Tarascan (Purepecha) part.
Great job, man. This was the exact video I was looking for. So much fixation on Aztec and Maya.
This is a good video and pretty thorough overview of Mesoamerican Indigenous history. One thing though, and I can only speak specifically of the Mexica aspect, is the pronunciation. The X is like an SH sound. So it's Mesheekah, and other words follow that pattern, too, when in reference to Nahuatl words. Again, great info. I learned more about things I hadn't known much of. I'm a descendant of one of the various indigenous groups that settled in Sinaloa, but I'm on a search for more info. Thanks.
Thanks Remy! I wish I would have known that on the pronunciation before making the video...Yes this is fascinating history...was so cool to see the scans of the Yucatan that showed that the cities were way bigger than originally thought.
Glad you liked the video :)
Cualli toneci!
it's actually more between a "sh" and an "s" sound but yeah :)
Xut up ! hehe
Cool video dude and the characters look amazing so thanks for making and sharing this video of knowledge of the ancestors with us!!
that was awesome! thanks for the quick overview! You shined a light on a couple civilizations I had never heard of. I also didn’t know the Toltec were conquerers and incredible ones at that!
“x” in a Mesoamerican context always means “(h)sh / (h)zh”.
So, “Hzhipe Totek”, not “Ksipe Totek”.
So, “Mishtek”, not “Mikstek”.
So, “Meshika”, not “Meksika”.
So, “Teshkoko”, not “Tekskoko”.
So, “Tlashkala”, not “Tlakskala.”
Also, the Tarascan people spoke a language of an entirely different family to the Nahuatl-speaking Mexica; it wasn’t merely a dialect.
No, Tlaxcala is pronounce correctly, Tlacscala
"Tlashcal" = is a bread made in Tlaxcala XD
X in mesoamerica, has 3 pronounciations, sh, h, and cs
I let the commercials play because I felt you gave such good information. than you for taking time out of your life to put this video up and put this information out.
thank you for this video, I've always been curious about the Mesoamerican civilizations... I only ever knew of Aztecs and Mayans because they were what my childhood history books talked about, and what Age of Empires II included.
This is a good summary of the history of all the major empires of early Mexico I've been looking for. Good work bringing it together in an easy to understand fashion.

Sage you are correct that is the correct pronunciation . I am so called Mexican American . I tell Mexicans from Mexico that Spanish is not the native tongue of Mexico , it was brought by the Spaniards. I tell them this when they ask me if I am Mexican why don't I speak Spanish.
Awesome video, there finding new buildings and road and channel systems all over the Amazon as well. Thank goodness someone came up with lidar. pre Columbian history of the Americas is so interesting.
May be I think that because my grandpa was from the rice lake band of Chippewa, he was mixed with Huron, and Irish.

Excelent work Epimetheus! This has been so digestible and informative at the same time.
I noticed a little mistake in the video, though: Tikal is actually in modern day Guatemala, not Yucatan, Mexico.
Tarascos , also known as purepechas were awesome..they were the Aztec rivals
Thanks for this fun presentation. I am part Zapotec, so I enjoy learning about the history.

Great job man!
Great video, wish you would of gone into more detail on the Purepecha seeing as they rivaled the Aztec Empire both in size, military and technology.
Cool. I'm researching the Toltec and now am interested in more civilizations. I do pest control and watch ants that's how it all started lol. I love planet Earth 😍❤️😍
Thanks for teachins us and making the history of Mesoamerica understandable and interesting
Very good video! I'm glad you presented actual history and avoided the myths and misinformation that people usually pass off as fact. A couple of things that were glossed over (for anyone in the comments that's interested):
- The Mexica settled on that island in part because they were being chased by the army of the king of nearby city state (because they killed and skinned his daughter). The triple alliance was formed in a rebellion against the previous dominant city state in the region.
- Cortes had not originally come to Mesoamerica with the plan to conquer the Mexica. The Spaniards didn't even know they existed. He was part of a trading expedition from Cuba which he had commandeered. At first they traded and raided in the Yucatan, but were told (through a complex chain of translation) that they could make a lot more money in the west. He founded a small colony Veracruz. He gained some fame from winning a few battles and was contacted by ambassadors from the Mexican empire, with impressive gifts of gold. Seeing as he was a wanted criminal and the governor of Cuba wanted his head, he had two options: gather troops and wealth or surrender and go to jail. He went with option one, scuttled his ships (so his men couldn't abandon him), and started the conquest as the video says.
Thank for the great comment :)
Fantastic video!
It would be interesting to include the mexica as part of the bigger náhuatl migrations from the north. It is noteworthy to know mexicas and tlaxcalans were 2 rival tribes of the same people, with shared culture (even poetry) among all the warfare.
Also de Mesoamerican Sprachbund; and naming Tetzcohco! the Mesoamerican Athens.
Keep up the good work man
Fantastic video!!

Fascinating, great video.
underrated this needs more views
The tarascans or purepecha of the West already knew how to craft bronze weapons and it’s believed to be one the reasons why the Aztecs could never conquer them. They kept metal working a big secrete that only they knew about it..till this day the town of Santa Clara, patzcuaro Michoacán have an annual copper festival. Look up the tlaximaltepoztli..a bronze axe weapon from the purepecha.
Hi! I love your videos I’ve been watching them nonstop. Just one minor thing, the “Tarascan” tribe is actually called the Purepecha tribe. The Spanish invaders changed the name of my tribe because they were being called “Tarascan” by tribal members. The Spanish did not know that it meant “son in law.” They called them that because they raped many of their daughters.
So cruel🥺

Thank you for this presentation.
The reality behind the Toltec expanse was that it was more of an Ideology than an empire. Their religion and militaristic ways were adopted by many different peoples around Mesoamerica. The Toltec period called also "epiclasic" was indeed a convulse era without definite borders though.
Great review! Ironic how during the genocide wrought by the Spanish, they were HORRIFIED by the controlled human sacrifice practiced by the Indigenous! LOL
AND at the core of the Spaniard religion ... wait for it ... symbolic human sacrifice and cannibalism
thank you for talking about the other tribes beside the Aztec and Maya. I knew they existed but i couldn't find info about them.
Wow, thanks for the explanation
There is another advanced civilization in mesoamerica you didn’t mention, being the huastec civilization which was along the gulf coast of central Mexico, mostly within the Mexican state of veracruz
Ooo i been to veracruz once...id be interested to learn about this civilization
