Nada prohíbe a los técpatl, los cuchillos mexicas de sacrificio, ser una monada. A veces se antropomorfizaban con dientes y un ojo como el de Mictlantecuhtli, dios de los muertos cuya lengua o nariz podía representarse como este cuchillo. Itztapaltótec, aspecto de Xipe Tótec, el desollado, también podía mostrarse como un cuchillo . 🏛️Museo Nacional de Antropología de México #mexicas #azteca #aztecs

Stand together, we've been humble and understanding for to long. This originally was our land and people need a reminder. #fktrump #fkmusk #mexicans #aztecs #Mexicansarentgoinganywhere

Who civilized who? We are often told that the Europeans brought progress and civilization to #America. However, it takes a closer look to understand that indigenous civilizations were not only advanced, but surpassed Europeans in many respects.
With respect to hygiene, the #Aztecs bathed twice a day when in Europe the standard was once a week.
With respect to medicine, the #Aztecs also used suppositories, ointments and suction cups, while Europe still resorted to practices like sangria.

Excellent reading 👌

FIFTH SUN - A NEW HISTORY OF THE AZTECS

By Camilla Townsend

I know so little about this period and place and this book is not only a great primer but also uses sources from both sides of the story. Telling a complex piece of history with verve and elan.

"A Portrait of Tenochtitlan" contains graphic paintings of the Aztec capital at its zenith, produced by Thomas Kole using Blender, Gimp, and DarkTable and based on historical documentation and help from a variety of scholars. With nothing to do with AI, the site includes heart-breaking overviews of Tenochtitlan in 1518 alongside drone footage of today's Mexico City, all published under a Creative Commons license. #archaeology #aztecs https://tenochtitlan.thomaskole.nl

Escultura mexica de tortuga del periodo postclásico (1250-1521) de cuyo caparazón emerge Macuilxóchitl (5 Flor), deidad del canto, la música, el baile y el juego y representante de sus alegrías. Líder de los Ahuiateteo, deidades del exceso y el placer. 🏛️Instituto Nacional de Antropología e Historia de México #mexicas #azteca #aztecs
