The 500 year old propaganda against this civilization is still very much alive in modern political discourse, the only other example I can think of in which an old civilization is brought up to somehow push an agenda in modern times is in the Israel vs Palestine conflict

I was really frustrated how after discovering mexico, cortes went on a moral mission to stop them from performing human sacrifices, freeing the prisoners in every town he came across, but then when the spanish-mexican war broke out he started enslaving the indians of the towns he occupied. That was when the spanish lost the moral high ground

The country was called mexico, or atleast the valley where the core population lived was. It wasn't even an empire, but at alliance of three city-states. Most of the cities in the valley were located around a lake, and the biggest one was tenochtitlan located on floating islands on the lake. All the parts of the country outside the main valley of mexico were other ethnic groups that were vassals of the mexicans. The spanish invaded this valley and attacked all the towns here before besieging the main city

So? Every empire did that. The Spanish themselves did that exact thing to the Americas.
>practicing human sacrifice and cannibalism
Cannibalism is propaganda. Also, the whole human sacrifice thing is overblown as
- It was done to prisoners of war (I.E. soldiers), not random civilians.
- It would have eventually gone away on its own. No need for destroying Aztec civilization.
- The Spanish killed more German Protestants in the 30 years war alone than the Aztecs sacrificed in their entire existence.
>teach them to read and write
They already had their own writing systems; the Maya had a complex hieroglyphic script; the Aztecs used pictographic codices; the Inca had quipu (knotted strings). The Spanish burnt and suppressed all this. Also, literacy in Spanish colonies was restricted to elites, and only in Spanish or Latin, not in any native languages.
>convert them to Christianity
Being Christian is not what makes a society “civilized”. Also, the conversion to Christianity was forced, not voluntary.
>give them modern ideas of sanitation
They already had that. The Aztecs used aqueducts, public baths, and had waste removal systems. The Inca had advanced urban planning and plumbing in cities like Machu Picchu. Not only that, but they did it even better than the Europeans, Tenochtitlan alone was more sanitized than the entire European continent.
>>
>>18505454
Also, most of the tribes who sided with the Spanish weren't even opposed to the Aztec practice of human sacrifice since they also practiced it and literally followed the same religion as the Aztecs. They mainly sided with the Spanish for political reasons, not for religious or moral ones.

There's a book about the conquest of the Aztecs written by one of the conquistadors who took part in it (The True History of the Conquest of New Spain by Bernal Díaz del Castillo) and he himself mentions that the other tribes weren't upset about the human sacrifice per se. It was that the Aztecs were taking too many people to sacrifice and other tribes disliked this since they wanted to sacrifice those people themselves.

>Why/how?
Pagans in the Mediterranean and Middle East that once practiced animal sacrifice were already moving away from it before Christianity took over due to being too messy, and instead had begun to prefer purely bloodless ones like incense, libations, and prayers. Animal sacrifice itself had also previously replaced human sacrifice hundreds of years prior because it had become too costly to sacrifice people all the time (the Greeks practiced human sacrifice during the Bronze Age, but abandoned it by the archaic period and began to consider it barbaric), even the Phoenicians stopped sacrificing people to Baal by the Hellenistic period.

No reason to think the Aztecs wouldn’t have gone down a similar path.

Actually the narrative against amerindian civilizations has distorted quite a lot since then, some iberian spics on the internet are likely to parrot the muh 6 gorillion sacrificerinos meme which is more in tune with the original, mostly religious justification for the invasion, nowadays however spicniards have adopted anglo """white""" racial trannyism, and since iberians are insecure brown retards because of them getting raped by moors, they're basically used as useful idiots by the currently dominant anglo narrative.

People with an IQ above 70 are able to admire and give credit where its due to a race that achieved so much in total isolation from the rest of the world

Aztecs used pictographic codices; the Inca had quipu (knotted strings). The Spanish burnt and suppressed all this. Also, literacy in Spanish colonies was restricted to elites, and only in Spanish or Latin, not in any native languages.
The satanic codices that described demonic and unnatural practices were burned, and burned thoroughly, as they should be. The few that did not contain immoral aberrations were saved. The languages and the writing, however, were preserved.
The Franciscan and Dominican friars learned them for evangelization. In 1547, Friar Andrés de Olmos wrote the first grammar of Nahuatl, anticipating European languages like French or English by decades in having formal linguistic rules.

The same thing happened in Peru. In 1551, King Charles V decreed that friars should preach in native languages. Quechua and Aymara were declared the "general languages" of the Viceroyalty of Peru. Official chairs of Quechua were created at the University of San Marcos in Lima, and fluency in Quechua was a mandatory requirement for ordination as a priest in the Andean region. The first book printed in all of South America (Lima, 1584) was precisely a bilingual catechism in Spanish and Quechua.
>>18505583
>Also, literacy in Spanish colonies was restricted to elites, and only in Spanish or Latin, not in any native languages.
Spain never had "colonies". Retricted to elites? Exactly like in Europe. The commoners received basic education. The indigenous nobility attended exclusive schools where the children of local chiefs received an advanced education (in Latin, Spanish, and Nahuatl).
>>
>>18505583
>Being Christian is not what makes a society “civilized”. Also, the conversion to Christianity was forced, not voluntary.
In some documents, such as the famous Requerimiento, the indigenous people were threatened with subjugation by force if they did not accept the preaching of the gospel. However, the idea that faith is free and a gift from God prevailed. Testimonies from that period do not support the claim that there were any forced conversions.

Early, simple models using only West African proxies often mistakenly attributed North African ancestry to sub-Saharan origins. I do not think those distortions were simply the result of a mere faulty methodology, though...

They were a bunch of degenerate savages.
They practiced human sacrifice in front of giant crowds, had people and animals fight to the death in giant arenas for their entertainment, kept millions of slaves, lived alongside animals in cramped hovels surrounded by reeking shit and piss, waged constant war, killed millions, and were despised by all of their neighbors. You can tell how much they were hated by how many of their neighbors and own people betrayed them to help overthrow their empire.

You wish. There is absolute methodological precision at this level, and modern scientific studies very strictly differentiate between the two components in a mathematically rigorous way (ancient panels, multivariate models, block dating, etc.).

3,000 condemned in 350 years of the Spanish Inquisition's history (57 of them, witches). Unlike civil courts and Protestant Europe, where collective hysteria led to mass burnings, the Spanish Holy Office considered most cases of witchcraft to be the result of ignorance, superstition, mental disorders, or imagination fueled by fear.
