    Mexico has a mysterious ancient past and an unstable contemporary history, but the lessons it can teach us go far beyond its nationhood.

      Do they give specifics as what Native American groups the DNA belongs to? Like if they tell me you have 5% Native American, I wouldn’t pay them 300 bucks or so to tell me something I already know. If the say 2.5 % Huichol, 2.5% Apache for example, that would be really interesting and revealing

      They do tell you what region your ancestors came from in Mexico. My parents are from Zacatecas and it showed that half of my DNA was Native American pertaining to the Chichimec or Chichimeca. Which checks out. Mexico is such an amazing country. I know so much about American history yet not much about Mexican history. To discover the parts where both histories intertwine is intriguing. I want to learn more about Zacatecas. My parents didn’t finish elementary school in their village, so they don’t even know much about their own history either. I’m first generation American but I’m also aware of how important it is to learn about our parents’ nation’s history. Especially when I live in a Southwestern state like southern California. This U.S. state’s history has Mexico’s history as a main character to its origins as well.

      There's a CZcamsr that did his and he was from a indigenous village so he had no European ancestry in his DNA. There is also a community on one of the ancestry websites that help Mexicans trace their indigenous origins. Apparently the Catholic church keeps great records because some have been able to see through marriage documents when 2 natives were converted and given Spanish names. Thus seeing what the names of their indigenous ancestors were before and after being converted.

    In case you're wondering why Mexico is pronounced like 'Meshico', there are two reasons.
    1. In Nahuatl, 'x' is pronounced like 'sh'.
    2. In Spanish, 'x' was pronounced like 'sh' or 'zh' in the 16th~17th century. This is why they used 'x' to write down Nahuatl's 'sh' sound. As time passed, 'x' became a voiceless velar fricative, which is why 'Mexico' is pronounced something like 'Mehico' by modern Spanish speakers. The change didn't happen in Nahuatl, so it's still pronounced like 'sh' to this day.

For generations they travelled south to Mesoamerica, where they finally settled where the profecy became true (the eagle eating a snake in a cactus, like the Mexican flag) and they decided to found Mexico-Tenochtitlan, to stop being nomadic and settle as a new civilization, renouncing to the name aztecs and calling themselves Mexicas from that point onwards.

Your way of explaining our history is very easy and understanding. Because in real life is very complex. We are a beautiful amalgam of races, colors, flavors, languages and cultures. Our country has been in a turmoil long before the Spanish conquest and still is. Stability seems so far away, an utopia, difficult to achieve. I hope one day, we are able to embrace our past and make peace with it, to star a new era, where our leaders stop fighting to empower themselves, but to empower our country.

      It's really complicated...
      Even Mexicans have divided opinions on this to this day.
      Some think Juarez was good and Diaz a dictator.
      Others think Juarez was a betrayer who almost sold us and Diaz saved us.
      Liberals used foreign interventionism while conservatives kept to themselves. And vice versa.

    3:38 considering the classical Mayans are not around today then there calendars had to stop somewhere as there was no one left to continue making them. I am pretty sure today you can get a calendar that goes up to 2050 that predicts the moon cycles and major holidays. However, if the coronavirus wipes out society and that calendar was found it does not mean we predicted the world would end in 2050.

    As well as I know, these ones that were going to be sacrificed where not slaves nor somebody that was forced to it but, as ancient incriptions and bas-reliefs say, the mighty warriors were going to be sacrificed of their own will. As the legends say, ancient gods were received sacrifices from the strong warriors as a requests to do not end exictance of the humanity. Aztecs were beliving that if gods recieve offerings regularly, they can be calm assured that their world will not be destroyed by gods, for some unknown reason.

The Spanish Catholic Church considered a paganic and unholy practice to celebrate the deceased that they tried to convert them and get rid of that practice but to no change because it was so common and so engrained in the state of Michoacan that the Church just gave the Holy Avail and played along with ever since.

    Sick and tired of my ancestors not being represented AT ALL in the history of Mexico. The aztecs were not the only powerful group of people at the time. The Purepecha (Tarascans) dominated the western/pacific part of a Mexico at the same time the aztecs were around. Time and again they defeated or had stalemates with the aztecs in war because their superiority in metal work. They eventually built a trade network with them and had forts along the border with the aztecs. Eventually the aztecs begged them for aid against the spanish which they denied them.

But if the Spanish where not envolved according to the book I was reading the aztecs were slowly trying to choke hold them, like a gradual chipping away at the tarascans. Though idk if it would have worked. There is so much about mesoamericana history that is just underrepresented sadly.
