  • Ever wondered who ruled Mesoamerica, the Aztecs or the Mayans? The Mayans were first, building their amazing cities and pyramids in places like Guatemala and southern Mexico from around 2000 BCE. They were great at astronomy and had an advanced writing system. The Aztecs came later, dominating central Mexico with their powerful empire starting in the 14th century, known for their massive capital city, Tenochtitlán. Both civilizations were incredible in their own ways, but they ruled different parts of Mesoamerica at different times.

    Disappointing video. There are a lot of inaccuracies. Don't rely on this if you are doing any serious study of either culture. From mispronouncing Tenochtitlan to a complete misunderstanding of the mayan writing system and their actual accomplishments, down to what proteins they ate. It's like a sixth graders report

      You should know that strong genetic markers of Maya ancestry, for example, show up in the genomes of modern people living in the Yucatán Peninsula and the northern part of Mexico's Gulf Coast in the modern state of Veracruz, which likely reflects a pre-Columbian Maya trade or migration route. Mayan languages, family of indigenous languages spoken in southern Mexico, Guatemala, and Belize; Mayan languages were also formerly spoken in western Honduras and western El Salvador. See also Mesoamerican Indian languages. Yucatec Maya, also called Maya t'aan or 'Maya Speech' is the most widely spoken Mayan language, spoken today in Mexico's Yucatan Peninsula, Guatemala, and Belize. The Maya speak native languages that have existed in the Americas for thousands of years and these Maya languages remain the primary language for millions of people in Guatemala, Belize and southern Mexico. The Maya majority lives in the nation-state of Guatemala, which has over 20 Maya languages and about 50 dialects. The Mayan languages form a language family spoken in Mesoamerica, both in the south of Mexico and northern Central America. Mayan languages are spoken by at least 6 million Maya people, primarily in Guatemala, Mexico, Belize, El Salvador and Honduras. The ancient Maya civilization was formed by members of this group, and today's Maya are generally descended from people who lived within that historical civilization.

    I've made my DNA Research and there is i'm 3,3% of Mesoamerican and Andinal I know South American countries like Brazil, Peru and Central American Mexico are and belongs to Mesoamerica, but which places there are Andinal, what is an Andinal and is it possible because i'm 3,3% of Mesoamerica and Andinal my ancestors could be Mesoamerica people just like Mayans or Astcs? More I want Mayans to be my old ancestors because in my opinion Mayans ruled in Mesoamerica more than Aztecs because we know and talk more about Mayans people than Aztecs and Mayans have built Mexico's Citicha Itze's pyramid and Peru's mountain city Machu Picchu so Mayans ruled in Mesoamerica! But i'm so interested about to heard more of Aztecs because don't know anything than the name about they so this video is a perfect way to learn my DNA's ancestors history of Mesoamerica and Andinal with this video I'll learn more than in school, books or documents so thank you Bright Side who rules the most BIGGEST way on CZcams and the World! 🌏🌍🌎🌃🏜🏞🏛🗺😮💡
