Today we're taking a look at Moctezuma I, commonly mistranslated as Montezuma.Moctezuma I (1398 - 1469) was the 2nd tlatoani (emperor) of the Aztec Empire and the 5th king of Tenochtitlan. He is considered by many to be the greatest of the Aztec emperors.Some notable feats or facts include>Led a rebel group to the prior king Chimalpopoca >Created the double aqueduct pipe system for the city>Greatly expanded the size of the Aztec Empire all the way to the gulf coast>Caused Tenochtitlan to become the dominant city of the Aztec Triple Alliance>Ruled over a 13 year peace period from 1440 to 1453>Popularized the "Flower War" style of ritual Aztec warfare>Invaded the Mayans, Mixtecs, Totonacs, Huastecs, Zapotecs, and a shit ton of others>Established the class-based education and legal system>Had such a bad temper his name literally translates to "angry faced lord." >Huge ass Mexica offering to him was discovered this year in FebruaryDiscuss the guy who wore a fire crownYesterday's Thread: >>18675120

>>18676844The aqueducts had to be rebuilt after the city was destroyed.
>>18676844That's the remains of the third one built post-Cortes after the city got buttfucked

There were two montezumas?
>>18677870Yeah, Motēuczōmah Ilhuicamīna (OP one) and Motēuczōmah Xōcoyōtzin (famous one), more commonly rended in english as Montezuma I and Montezuma II respectively

>>18676827Why is he being fished?
>>18678720It's a form of the pictorial Aztec writing system. The line to the symbol denotes the attachment to the character, and the flag plus the dots denotes the number of years he ruled. The symbol next to it on the left (the fishing rod thing) plus some contents of the flag denotes the name. Finally the air icon next to his mouth denotes he's speaking.
You should do Nezahualcoyotl next, genuinely one of the most fascinating men who have ever lived.
