Animated videos on the fascinating and intriguing history of the nations that make up the American continents. I want to make history exciting and memorable, so that the people and events aren't just seen as names and dates. Anyways that's about it.
I'm glad you clarified about marrying ages. We have a strange relationship with morality and biology. I think it's for the best having the age of consent being much higher than it was (and probably higher in certain states...). Biologically we didn't last long and we take forever to mature to sexual maturity. Thus humanity was raising kids as teenagers on the norm. Oh, how far we've come. And so far yet to go.
Suena a que sacaste esto de los libros de historia de la Secretaria de Educación publica del gobierno mexicano.... Deberías estudiar más puntos de vista y no tragarte el relato que hace la nación para controlar la memoria histórica... No like
Wow. Mucha informacion k desconicia, un poco de humor e historia. Asosmbroso. Felicidades, continua tu camino en la historia Mexicana y te deseo mucho Exito!!!!
I've been interested in Aztec society for a while now, and I just discovered your videos. They make all of the information so much more digestable, and your animations are also well done. Keep up the great work
Hey man, I've been watching your vids for the past few days, they're very well made and honestly mad respect for the extensive research you've done! Again, they've been a lifesaver (and time saver haha) for writing my book. A vid suggestion tho if possible, can you make a video about general Aztec art? Some main/prominent themes back in the day, what mediums they used, etc etc. I'm also curious about their music since I haven't been able to find ANYTHING about it, just instruments that existed haha. If you can't make it that's fine, these vids have already been super useful for me lol, thanks
Hell yea, I’ll definitely make a vid of Aztec Art. It might be a little later in the year tho Thank you so much, it really means a lot when ppl enjoy the videos. I hope your book does really well!! Send a copy once its completed! 😁 If you need references there’s: The Aztecs by Michale E Smith, I use third edition, he covers general aztec culture -Fifth Sun by Camilla Townsend: covers mainly the chronology of the Aztec empire but I feel it mainly covers the final years -There’s also Warlords of Ancient Mexico by Peter G Tsouras, I’d take this one with a more skeptical lense, he doesn’t make incorrect claims but I just didn’t find too much background info on his credentials) -All the Spanish codexes (Florentine, Mendoza) those ones are usually free online I’ll try to add a references section in the future videos
@@CoZ5268 Thanks for the references! I mostly go on general websites if I have to guess on a certain topic, but so far I have been relying on things from the codexes. Once again, thanks for the vids, you're doing great man
MELCHOR MUZQUIZ ..... Tatarabuelo de mis hijos; nunca robo un peso de las arcas del Estado de México ni del país, cayó en desgracia por eso, porque su Mujer quería que robara dinero del gobierno negándose él a hacerlo, entonces fue que ella lo despreció y abandonó por no haber asegurado la vida de ella y su hijo
High priest: IT IS SPRING! WE MUST SACRIFICE FORTY TWO CHILDREN TO TLALOC SO THAT THE HARVEST MAY BE BOUNTIFUL Also priest: no I'm not giving MY children away
POV: You just came home from the market and decided to use your cacao beans for mole. You're crushing them on the metate before realizing that they were filled with dirt, and that's how that bastard merchant Cuicatl scammed you again. 🤦♀️
@@CoZ5268no worries, i was just jokin around seriously i did actually enjoy the video lmao i was scrolling through shorts until i randomly stumbled upon this and honestly i’m pretty impressed at the production value. i’m a big fan of this stuff i also have a soft spot for learning history so you just got yourself a subscriber! ❤
I've said it before and ill say it again, as a Mexican, Central America should've never separated from Mexico. We all share a common Mesoamerican culture and history and even share the same indigenous heritage from the Nahuas in Mexico, El Salvador and Nicaragua as well as the Mayans in Mexico, Guatemala and El Salvador. Imagine what could've been if they chose to stay with Mexico, we really would be stronger together ✊🏼🇲🇽🇬🇹🇳🇮🇸🇻🇭🇳🇨🇷
A greater Mexico with Central America definitely could’ve been something great, although it didn’t work out in the end, it was the ability to make the decision that was truly important. The Americas were brimming with social experiments during this time. The resulting decisions are what led to beautiful diverse cultures that even after being formed under a common Mesoamerican culture, can still have variations that each and every one of them unique. Plus until the world ends lots of things can happen, and unity is never truly out of the question.
@@CoZ5268 I agree, and it's not like Central America would've been treated as lesser than the rest, Chiapas is the perfect example. A Mexican state of Nicaragua or Costa Rica would have the same rights as the Mexican state of Chihuahua or Sonora. Makes me sad because I see Central Americans as southern Mexicans because of our shared Nahua, Mayan, and Otomanguean heritage highlighting our Mesoamerican history 😢
You misunderstand "avg life expectancy". For example: If 2 are born, one doesn't make it past the first week, the other makes it to 60. The average is 30. People lived into old age but life but.... nutrition issues, illness, war.
@@CoZ5268 while you're at it I would love to suggest an idea I would usually think about often, which is basically a courtyard block, so it be like a courtyard building type of which consists of a central hexagonal Food Forest that feeds the buildings on the sides. The structures would be a maximum of 5 to six stories tall to give it a sense of place and include some shops or something to do at the bottom floor like restaurants and such. The hexagons blocks would then form together to create Y intersections to discourage cars and keep everything pedestrian and bike friendly. Imho its a perfect combination of incorporating nature with our humanity to essesntially culturally evolve from this hyper individualistic society :3 and understand our place in the ecosystem. Sorry for the yapping but TLDR: Imagine a reasonably sized hexagonal city block with a central permaculture food forest akin to honey in a honeycomb :p Each "wall" of this honeycomb would be 0.1km or 100 meters long with a perimeter of 0.6 kilometers. And a 6 story height linit to preserve our humanity. Thus the total area becomes 0.03 kilometers squared. Yeah :3
@@AkitoTenkaizen woah that’s a really cool idea. Imma be honest I didn’t fully understand some of the words u used, but thinking about a building that can be sustained by plants definitely sounds like a more sustainable way of tackling urban architecture. Also the use of hexagons to maximize space definitely does make it sound like the optimal choice when designing a building
This is the first time I've watched one of your videos - well done! Thought this was a big channel! Wondering though - did the Aztec dudes do anything except fight??? Women got married young, kept the house, made babies, made textiles, sold textiles, managed the finances...
Oh for sure they built the temples they were famous for, sold tons of items such as pots, weapons, and canoes, built bridges, aqueducts, they were very productive.
I'm absolutely certain you're going to become a big channel with great content like this, I love the animation style and how you present historical information, definitely subscribing Keep up the good work!
Has to be a hell of a lot of time investment to make these videos. Think this can easly rivil the content of bigger channals - hope the algorithem will also think that way.
