National Geographic The Aztecs Empire Documentary
The Aztec people were certain ethnic groups of central Mexico, particularly those groups who spoke the Nahuatl language and who dominated large parts of Mesoamerica from the 14th to 16th centuries. mean "people from Aztlan", a mythological place for the Nahuatl-speaking culture of the time, and later adopted as the word to define the Mexica people. Often the term "Aztec" refers exclusively to the Mexica people of Tenochtitlan
Sometimes the term also includes the inhabitants of Tenochtitlan's two principal allied city-states, the Acolhuas of Texcoco and the Tepanecs of Tlacopan, who together with the Mexica formed the Aztec Triple Alliance which controlled what is often known as the "Aztec Empire". In other contexts, Aztec may refer to all the various city states and their peoples, who shared large parts of their ethnic history and cultural traits with the Mexica, Acolhua and Tepanecs, and who often also used the Nahuatl language as a lingua franca. In this meaning it is possible to talk about an Aztec civilization including all the particular cultural patterns common for most of the peoples inhabiting Central Mexico in the late postclassic period.

The story of the Aztec empire is one wrapped in myth and legend. In less than 200 years they transformed themselves from a band of wandering nomads to the greatest civilization the New World had ever known. What records remain of this amazing feat indicate they did it through brilliant military campaigns and by ingeniously applying technology to master the harsh environment they faced. They built their capital city where no city should have been possible: in the middle of a lake. They quickly transformed marshes into rich agricultural land surrounding an urban center that rivaled any city in the world at the time. They called it Tenochtitlan. When the Spanish conquistadors arrived there in 1519, and saw its gleaming pyramids, temples and places, grand canals filled with boats, enormous causeways crossing miles of lake from the mainland with aqueducts bringing fresh running water to the massive city, they actually thought they were dreaming.
But they also practiced human sacrifice on an unprecedented scale, at one time dispatching 20,000 victims at a single temple dedication ceremony. They also made many enemies. By the time the Spaniards landed they had no trouble recruiting tribal allies to destroy the Aztecs and that they did just that with amazing speed leveling Tenochtitlan completely to build their colonial capital, Mexico City, on the rubble.
From the remains of the Great Temple in Mexico City, to the construction of their Venice of the New World, this episode will examine the architecture and infrastructure behind the New World's greatest, and last, indigenous society.

Mexico-Tenochtitlan About this sound audio (help·info), commonly known as Tenochtitlan (Classical Nahuatl: Tenochtitlan /tenotʃˈtitɬan/) was an Aztec altepetl (city-state) located on an island in Lake Texcoco, in the Valley of Mexico. Founded in 1325, it became the capital of the expanding Mexican Empire in the 15th century, until captured by the Spanish in 1521. At its peak, it was the largest city in the Pre-Columbian Americas. When paired with Mexico, the name is a reference to Mexica, also known as "Aztecs" although they referred to themselves as Mexica. It subsequently became a cabecera of the Viceroyalty of New Spain. Today the ruins of Tenochtitlan are located in the central part of Mexico City.
Traditionally, its name was thought to come from Nahuatl tetl /ˈtetɬ/ ("rock") and nōchtli /ˈnoːtʃtɬi/ ("prickly pear") and is often thought to mean "Among the prickly pears [growing among] rocks". However, one attestation in the late 16th-century manuscript known as "the Bancroft dialogues" suggest the second vowel was short, so that the true etymology remains uncertain. Tenochtitlan was one of two Mexican altepetl (city-states) on the island, the other being Tlatelolco.

Preview:
The name Aztec was actually made up by Europeans, they used to call themselves the Mexica.
Their deceased were usually buried right under their house
Sometimes they killed a dog along with the deceased so that the dog could guide them to the after-life.
They would often sell themselves or their children into slavery to pay off their debts.
Their system of slavery was more like indentured servitude though, as slaves could buy their freedom.
The Aztec capital was called Tenochtitlan and it was in the middle of a lake. Today it's known as Mexico City and the lake is mostly drained.
Tenochtitlan had garbage men and was allegedly very clean.
At the time of its discovery by Europeans, Tenochtitlan was bigger than most European cities.
The Aztecs had never discovered the wheel.
They also had no iron or steel.
They were one of the first societies to mandate education for kids.
It was European disease that eventually defeated the Aztecs.
Their language N’ahuatl had a picture-like, hieroglyphic alphabet.
They used this language to maintain an extremely advanced and detailed record keeping system with regards to everything from sacrifices to taxes.
Legend has it that the Aztecs arranged battles with their enemies in order for each side to acquire prisoners/human sacrifices.
They often played a ball game called Ullamaliztli which consisted of trying to get a rubber ball through impossibly small hoops without it touching the ground. You could only use your knees, elbows, head, and hips.
Quite often human sacrifice would be connected to the ball game. Many of the courts would even have the skulls of former players surrounding them.
Since it was actually considered an honor to be sacrificed, historians are not clear on whether it was the losers or the winners that were killed after the match.
Aztecs, along with other Central American civilizations, were the first to introduce chocolate to the Europeans.
In fact, the word chocolate comes from the Nahuatl (Aztec) word "chocolātl" and was then adopted into English by way of Spanish.
Cacao seeds were seen as a gift from the gods and were even used as currency.
Their chocolate was a lot different than it is today though. They prepared it as a bitter drink mixed with spices.
They were overthrown by Spanish conquistador Hernan Cortes along with several neighboring tribes that they were at odds with.
Their fall marked the end of the last great Native American civilization.
During the final battle for Tenochtitlan, it is believed that nearly a quarter million people died. Cortes then proceeded to found Mexico City in the ruins.

The Aztecs | The Truth Behind Human Sacrifice | History Documentary Films
Human sacrifice was a religious practice characteristic of pre-Columbian Aztec civilization, as well as of other Mesoamerican civilizations like the Maya and the Zapotec. The extent of the practice is debated by modern scholars. Spanish explorers, soldiers and clergy who had contact with the Aztecs between 1517, when an expedition from Cuba first explored the Yucatan, and 1521, when Hernán Cortés conquered the Aztec capital of Tenochtitlan, made observations of and wrote reports about the practice of human sacrifice. For example, Bernal Díaz's The Conquest of New Spain includes eyewitness accounts of human sacrifices as well as descriptions of the remains of sacrificial victims. In addition, there are a number of second-hand accounts of human sacrifices written by Spanish friars that relate the testimony of native eyewitnesses. The literary accounts have been supported by archeological research. Since the late 1970s, excavations of the offerings in the Great Pyramid of Tenochtitlan, Teotihuacán's Pyramid of the Moon, and other archaeological sites, have provided physical evidence of human sacrifice among the Mesoamerican peoples.

Aztec
The Aztec /ˈæztɛk/ people were certain ethnic groups of central Mexico, particularly those groups who spoke the Nahuatl language and who dominated large parts of Mesoamerica from the 14th to 16th centuries. The Nahuatl words aztecatl [asˈtekat͡ɬ] (singular) and aztecah [asˈtekaʔ] (plural) mean "people from Aztlan", a mythological place for the Nahuatl-speaking culture of the time, and later adopted as the word to define the Mexica people. Often the term "Aztec" refers exclusively to the Mexica people of Tenochtitlan (now the location of Mexico City), situated on an island in Lake Texcoco, who referred to themselves as Mēxihcah Tenochcah [meːˈʃiʔkaʔ teˈnot͡ʃkaʔ] or Cōlhuah Mexihcah [ˈkoːlwaʔ meːˈʃiʔkaʔ].
Sometimes the term also includes the inhabitants of Tenochtitlan's two principal allied city-states, the Acolhuas of Texcoco and the Tepanecs of Tlacopan, who together with the Mexica formed the Aztec Triple Alliance which controlled what is often known as the "Aztec Empire". In other contexts, Aztec may refer to all the various city states and their peoples, who shared large parts of their ethnic history and cultural traits with the Mexica, Acolhua and Tepanecs, and who often also used the Nahuatl language as a lingua franca. In this meaning it is possible to talk about an Aztec civilization including all the particular cultural patterns common for most of the peoples inhabiting Central Mexico in the late postclassic period.

Not really knowing the ramifications that go along with having such a nice dwelling and what it takes to keep the house running on all cylinders; these two imbeciles try and do anything possible to keep the lights on, which are including but not limited to...engineering a cult, bamboozling anybody and everybody for sex, drugs, money, social status, personal entertainment and last but not least, s&gs; ! No ethnic group or race will be spared of a thrashing on this program, that's a fact! They try to accomplish a feat that many have tried but few have succeeded in, which is, to do things really good without really doing anything at all!

Plot: Stereomongrel is a ten minute experimental film which explores the effects of two disparate worlds colliding. Witnessed through the eyes of a gifted twelve year old girl, high and low culture clash in the neutral battle field of a museum. Filmed in Super 35 mm, Stereomongrel style can be described as "hyper, supra, and marvelous real," through the use of 3-D animation, stop-motion animation, and highly choreographed tableaux or set pieces. Genres that are blended and tweaked by this uniquely hybridized film include psychological/supernatural thrillers, Italian horror movies from the 70s and 80s, and the unattainable ideals - both physical and economic - found in hip-hop music videos and fashion magazines.

Hermine: O, Harry, you *are* an idiot!Pablo: There is a light within. You need only to step out of your own shadows to see it.
Pablo: All humor is gallows humor.
[first lines]::Harry Haller: The day went by just as days go by. I killed it in accordance with my primitive and withdrawn way of life. I worked for an hour or two, had pains, took some opium and lay in a hot bath for two hours. Was glad when the pains consented to disappear. All in all it wasn't exactly a day of rapture. Perhaps the time is come to follow the example of Adalbert Stifter: a fatal accident while shaving...
Pablo: Learn what is to be taken seriously, and to laugh at the rest!
Goethe: Oh, no wonder you're so grouchy, if you're going to take Time seriously. There is no Time in Eternity. Only a moment. Just time for a joke!

The story of the Aztec empire is one wrapped in myth and legend. In less than 200 years they transformed themselves from a band of wandering nomads to the greatest civilization the New World had ever known.

Tenochtitlán AZTEC EMPIRE | HISTORY of AZTECS
Mexico-Tenochtitlan About this sound audio (help·info), commonly known as Tenochtitlan (Classical Nahuatl: Tenochtitlan /tenotʃˈtitɬan/) was an Aztec altepetl (city-state) located on an island in Lake Texcoco, in the Valley of Mexico. Founded in 1325, it became the capital of the expanding Mexican Empire in the 15th century, until captured by the Spanish in 1521. At its peak, it was the largest city in the Pre-Columbian Americas. When paired with Mexico, the name is a reference to Mexica, also known as "Aztecs" although they referred to themselves as Mexica. It subsequently became a cabecera of the Viceroyalty of New Spain. Today the ruins of Tenochtitlan are located in the central part of Mexico City. Traditionally, its name was thought to come from Nahuatl tetl /ˈtetɬ/ ("rock") and nōch... -

The Aztecs | The Truth Behind Human Sacrifice | History Documentary Films
The Aztecs | The Truth Behind Human Sacrifice | History Documentary Films Human sacrifice was a religious practice characteristic of pre-Columbian Aztec civilization, as well as of other Mesoamerican civilizations like the Maya and the Zapotec. The extent of the practice is debated by modern scholars. Spanish explorers, soldiers and clergy who had contact with the Aztecs between 1517, when an expedition from Cuba first explored the Yucatan, and 1521, when Hernán Cortés conquered the Aztec capital of Tenochtitlan, made observations of and wrote reports about the practice of human sacrifice. For example, Bernal Díaz's The Conquest of New Spain includes eyewitness accounts of human sacrifices as well as descriptions of the remains of sacrificial victims. In addition, there are a number of s... -

The story of the Aztec empire is one wrapped in myth and legend. In less than 200 years they transformed themselves from a band of wandering nomads to the greatest civilization the New World had ever known. What records remain of this amazing feat indicate they did it through brilliant military campaigns and by ingeniously applying technology to master the harsh environment they faced. They built their capital city where no city should have been possible: in the middle of a lake. They quickly transformed marshes into rich agricultural land surrounding an urban center that rivaled any city in the world at the time. They called it Tenochtitlan. When the Spanish conquistadors arrived there in 1519, and saw its gleaming pyramids, temples and places, grand canals filled with boats, enormous causeways crossing miles of lake from the mainland with aqueducts bringing fresh running water to the massive city, they actually thought they were dreaming.
But they also practiced human sacrifice on an unprecedented scale, at one time dispatching 20,000 victims at a single temple dedication ceremony. They also made many enemies. By the time the Spaniards landed they had no trouble recruiting tribal allies to destroy the Aztecs and that they did just that with amazing speed leveling Tenochtitlan completely to build their colonial capital, Mexico City, on the rubble.
From the remains of the Great Temple in Mexico City, to the construction of their Venice of the New World, this episode will examine the architecture and infrastructure behind the New World's greatest, and last, indigenous society.

Mexico-Tenochtitlan About this sound audio (help·info), commonly known as Tenochtitlan (Classical Nahuatl: Tenochtitlan /tenotʃˈtitɬan/) was an Aztec altepetl (city-state) located on an island in Lake Texcoco, in the Valley of Mexico. Founded in 1325, it became the capital of the expanding Mexican Empire in the 15th century, until captured by the Spanish in 1521. At its peak, it was the largest city in the Pre-Columbian Americas. When paired with Mexico, the name is a reference to Mexica, also known as "Aztecs" although they referred to themselves as Mexica. It subsequently became a cabecera of the Viceroyalty of New Spain. Today the ruins of Tenochtitlan are located in the central part of Mexico City.
Traditionally, its name was thought to come from Nahuatl tetl /ˈtetɬ/ ("rock") and nōchtli /ˈnoːtʃtɬi/ ("prickly pear") and is often thought to mean "Among the prickly pears [growing among] rocks". However, one attestation in the late 16th-century manuscript known as "the Bancroft dialogues" suggest the second vowel was short, so that the true etymology remains uncertain. Tenochtitlan was one of two Mexican altepetl (city-states) on the island, the other being Tlatelolco.

Preview:
The name Aztec was actually made up by Europeans, they used to call themselves the Mexica.
Their deceased were usually buried right under their house
Sometimes they killed a dog along with the deceased so that the dog could guide them to the after-life.
They would often sell themselves or their children into slavery to pay off their debts.
Their system of slavery was more like indentured servitude though, as slaves could buy their freedom.
The Aztec capital was called Tenochtitlan and it was in the middle of a lake. Today it's known as Mexico City and the lake is mostly drained.
Tenochtitlan had garbage men and was allegedly very clean.
At the time of its discovery by Europeans, Tenochtitlan was bigger than most European cities.
The Aztecs had never discovered the wheel.
They also had no iron or steel.
They were one of the first societies to mandate education for kids.
It was European disease that eventually defeated the Aztecs.
Their language N’ahuatl had a picture-like, hieroglyphic alphabet.
They used this language to maintain an extremely advanced and detailed record keeping system with regards to everything from sacrifices to taxes.
Legend has it that the Aztecs arranged battles with their enemies in order for each side to acquire prisoners/human sacrifices.
They often played a ball game called Ullamaliztli which consisted of trying to get a rubber ball through impossibly small hoops without it touching the ground. You could only use your knees, elbows, head, and hips.
Quite often human sacrifice would be connected to the ball game. Many of the courts would even have the skulls of former players surrounding them.
Since it was actually considered an honor to be sacrificed, historians are not clear on whether it was the losers or the winners that were killed after the match.
Aztecs, along with other Central American civilizations, were the first to introduce chocolate to the Europeans.
In fact, the word chocolate comes from the Nahuatl (Aztec) word "chocolātl" and was then adopted into English by way of Spanish.
Cacao seeds were seen as a gift from the gods and were even used as currency.
Their chocolate was a lot different than it is today though. They prepared it as a bitter drink mixed with spices.
They were overthrown by Spanish conquistador Hernan Cortes along with several neighboring tribes that they were at odds with.
Their fall marked the end of the last great Native American civilization.
During the final battle for Tenochtitlan, it is believed that nearly a quarter million people died. Cortes then proceeded to found Mexico City in the ruins.

The Aztecs | The Truth Behind Human Sacrifice | History Documentary Films
Human sacrifice was a religious practice characteristic of pre-Columbian Aztec civilization, as well as of other Mesoamerican civilizations like the Maya and the Zapotec. The extent of the practice is debated by modern scholars. Spanish explorers, soldiers and clergy who had contact with the Aztecs between 1517, when an expedition from Cuba first explored the Yucatan, and 1521, when Hernán Cortés conquered the Aztec capital of Tenochtitlan, made observations of and wrote reports about the practice of human sacrifice. For example, Bernal Díaz's The Conquest of New Spain includes eyewitness accounts of human sacrifices as well as descriptions of the remains of sacrificial victims. In addition, there are a number of second-hand accounts of human sacrifices written by Spanish friars that relate the testimony of native eyewitnesses. The literary accounts have been supported by archeological research. Since the late 1970s, excavations of the offerings in the Great Pyramid of Tenochtitlan, Teotihuacán's Pyramid of the Moon, and other archaeological sites, have provided physical evidence of human sacrifice among the Mesoamerican peoples.

We traveled through this land a thousand years ago
We were the first to see the purple skies
I wondered round the desert in a mask of gold
I left a thousand things for you to find
I left my home where your houses stand
I left my gold where your highways ran
I lived my life on what you call your land
I left my soul in the aztec sand
The days grow long the nights are getting warmer
The rains are few beneath the blazing sun
Traveling fathers finding little water
The time has come when we must play this world
I left my home where your houses stand
I left my gold where your highways ran
I lived my life on what you call your land
I left my soul in the aztec sand
Round and round
Our lifetime goes
Where does it end
Someone must know
I've got a family now but you wouldn't know them
They're beaten down so hard they can hardly stand
We used to live so brave so free like an eagle
Now they make us live like a crippled man
I left my home where your houses stand
I left my gold where your highways ran
I lived my life on what you call your land
