Why do these niggers have such a large popculture/pophistory impact, considering they: weren't around that long, weren't connected to the civilised parts of the world for 99% of their history, and then immediately died the moment civilisation encountered them? At least the Sioux and the Incas took a while to conquer
>>539816675Because the aesthetics are interesting. In between abos and egyptions.Jungles and pyramids/temples in jungles are kino
>>539816675Art style is king also Mexico being the biggest Hispanic country of America means that during the XX they were pushing for Aztecs as part of national identity, something common at that time to boost nationalism in Europe too
>>539816675Because they look cool
>>539816675They mog us eurocucks and our christcuck mindrape cringe. They are popular because we admire them.
>>539816675Optics
>>539816675In a better world the Spanish would have given them all their slaves for sacrifice
>>539816675because as savage as they were, you have to admit that they WERE fucking coolthey skinned the faces off their enemies and carved their hearts out, but they looked cool while doing itlike the mongols, they were absolute savages but they were cool
>>539816675just we wuzing once you mention the human sacrifices they get angry
>>539816675do they have a large pop culture presence? I haven't noticed.
Those wooden swords they had with the obsidian edges were cool as fuck
Culture as a product makes you look at caricatures and pick the most interesting sounding one without any care about substance>OMG they fought the white man who had guns and horses and lances>They did wacky sacrifice>They had jaguar skins on themect ect, you could find 1,000 things like this that sound cool and make cool movies and games.>The sioux and incasCan I draw them under a temple they covered in blood sacrificing newborns?
>>539816675The real answer is modern day mexicans
Huitzilopochtli was the supreme patron deity of the Aztecs, representing the sun, war, and the capital city of Tenochtitlan. His origin myth provided the religious blueprint for the entire Aztec sacrificial system.>The Miraculous PregnancyAccording to myth, the earth goddess Coatlicue became pregnant after a ball of feathers fell from the sky while she was sweeping a temple.>The Family BetrayalOutraged by this mysterious pregnancy, her daughter, the moon goddess Coyolxauhqui, led her 400 brothers (the stars) to murder their mother at Coatepec (Snake Mountain).>The Violent BirthJust as the attackers arrived, Huitzilopochtli sprang from his mother’s womb fully grown and armed with a mythical weapon called the Xiuhcoatl (the turquoise serpent of fire)>The Eternal BattleHuitzilopochtli decapitated his sister Coyolxauhqui and threw her body down the mountain, shattering her limbs. He then hunted down and slaughtered his 400 brothers.>The Symbolic MeaningThis myth was reenacted daily in the sky. Huitzilopochtli (the Sun) had to destroy Coyolxauhqui (the Moon) and the 400 brothers (the Stars) every single morning to bring a new day. To maintain the energy needed for this eternal cosmic battle, he required a constant supply of chalchihuatl—the sacred water of human blood. The architecture of the Templo Mayor in Tenochtitlan directly replicated Coatepec, and victims thrown down its steps physically mirrored the broken body of the moon goddess.What sounds cooler this or some jewish God born to a jew that wants you to turn the other cheek and love your enemies and be a good little christcuck. Based Aztecs.
>>539816675You really have no idea what civilization even means?
>>539816675They had a unique culture and aestheticBut also because they were psychopath edge lords too>and lots of Mexicans live in America, so there’s that
>>539819233>sounds cool>bunch of old priests sitting around and thinking up a reason to sacrifice your childrencan we just go back to the Greek religion where we stomped on anyone who annoyed us because pride is divine?
Because muh ancient cities and anti-western propaganda to make them look grander than they actually were. The spanish also talked them up like romans did, so it was more impressive when fighting them.
>>539816675they had a cool art style
>>539818870>The Sioux and Incas>Can I draw them under a temple they covered in blood sacrificing newborns?You can draw them passed out drunk in a ditch.
>>539819445>The New Fire Ceremony: Preventing ApocalypseWhile daily sacrifices kept the sun moving, the Aztecs faced a much larger threat every 520 years. Their calendar featured two interlocking cycles that synchronized exactly once every 520 years: a moment when the universe risked running out of energy and ending permanently.To prevent this cosmic collapse, they held the New Fire Ceremony (Xiuhmolpilli, or the "Binding of the Years").>The Total BlackoutOn the final evening of the 520-year cycle, every fire in the entire empire was systematically extinguished. Idols were smashed, hearths swept clean, and cooking pots destroyed. The entire population plunged into total darkness and silence.>The Vigil of TerrorPregnant women were locked away in granaries wearing masks, as the Aztecs believed they would turn into man-eating monsters if the world ended. Children were kept awake and forced to march so they wouldn't turn into mice.>The Cosmic TestPriests dressed as gods marched in strict silence to the top of the sacred mountain Huixachtlan (now Cerro de la Estrella). They watched the night sky for the Pleiades star cluster to cross the center of the horizon. If the stars crossed, the cosmos would survive for another 520 years.>The Spark of LifeThe moment the stars crossed, a single captive warrior was sacrificed. Using a traditional wooden drill, priests spun a fire-starter directly inside the victim's open chest cavity.>The Flame SpreadsAs the new fire sparked to life inside the chest, a massive bonfire was lit on the mountaintop. Messengers immediately lit torches from this central fire and ran all night across the empire, distributing the "New Fire" to temples and individual homes, restoring light and life for another half-millenium.>The very last New Fire Ceremony was performed in 1507 AD under the reign of Emperor Motecuhzoma II.Guess how long it's been since the last sacrifice nigger? The world is about to end wake the fuck up.
>>539816675they were brown savages thaat stacked some rocks. that's all that matters to leftoidsignore the fact that they sacrificed children by cutting their hearts out and had a slave empire, it's all good because they're shitskins
>>539819498The Spanish barely did any fighting. The Aztecs abused the tribes they conquered so harshly, those tribes gladly joined Cortez and did most of the fighting. The Spanish were there to nudge and manipulate the Indians into killing each other. Much like what Jews do with whites today.
>>539819233>>539819883>WOWZAH they were so epic based warriors!>Europeans show up and their warniggering made them 10 million enemies, their capital gets raided by a party of 300 people + some native recruitsNigger retards getting BTFO once again by virtue of making everyone hate them.
>>539819883Oh, no. The dead and conquered savages who thought killing children brought the sun back, also thought the universe is going to run out of energy, maybe, on this part of their backwards savage time cycle. We're really doomed!
>>539819996>ignore the fact that they sacrificed children by cutting their hearts out and had a slave empire, it's all good because they're shitskinsyou bomb little kids disgusting mystery meat
>>539816989>Civilizational culture based on brutal conquest completely ass raped by one focused on humility and sacrificeNot the "mog" you think it is anon.
>>539816675The overwhelming majority of people have no idea that the Aztecs were only a 200-year old civilization, nor that they were living that way while Europe was undergoing the Renaissance. Even fewer people even grasp that horses were brought to South/Central/North America at the same time as the Aztecs fell. They think that the Plains indians were horsemen for thousands of years before the ebil euros showed up
>>539816675sPain had a shipwreck who learned local languages and allied everyone who hated the Aztec triple alliance, which was all their neighbors. It took a few hundred Spaniards and tens of thousands of native warriors to dismantle the flower system and establish new sPain. Redskins knew their days were numbered but hispanic memes say that all Mexicans are aztecs.
>>539820151>you bombno anon, the demonic kike bastards that took over my country post-ww2 did that (they are also a race notorious for sacrificing children and slavery, throughout history)
>>539816675The Wild West lasted about 12 years and yet there are literally thousands of movies, books and video games, etc., made about that time.
>>539816675They were aliens. Modern man came from another planet, the pyramids mark our origin.
>>539820070>>539820094>Dead and conqueredActually they are still alive after their "conquerors" decided to turn the other cheek in the name of rabbi yeshua al-moschiach and interbreed with them because every hecking human being is equal in the eyes of the jewish god.They were so much cooler than cringe christcucks. We should all become aztecs.
>>539822872Is all of this just some elaborate Antichrist seethe? Kek
>>539816675aztec kingdom was overrated indeed. But Mayans were absolutely marvellous.The Mayan calendar and long count alone was simple yet brilliant chronological timestamp. Something similar did old world never come up with before.
>>539816675Isn't it obvious? They had aesthetics. The pyramids, the feathers, the human sacrifice. They're like the video game enemies of real life.
>>539816675they are mysterious, and because white people conqistador'd them people automatically think they were an amazing culture better than anything else and their destruction was an irretrievable loss for the wold as a whole. and not at all that they were a warlike people that were only beaten because the spanish enlisted a fuckton of locals that hated them and wanted to completely exterminate them.
>>539823188Has to be.>>539822872>Entire culture is wiped out and you flee into the jungle for like 300 years>But they aren't dead and conquered bro spic invaders from the north pretend to be themYeah usually when I win my population is reduced to like 25% and my empire dissolves and they destroy my capital and destroy the lake it sits on forever.One of the biggest signs of the winner is that they get to work minimum wage farm labor jobs for the people they beat.
>>539823900It's a racial jungle out there but from what I understand there are plenty of Mexicans with Aztec blood in them. Others are full European, others are mixed with something else but the Aztec blood is still alive.
>>539825857"Alive" vs being the dominant power and nearly 100% of the population in said area.
>>539825992They were punished by the gods because they stopped doing the sacrifices.
>>539826326Or alternatively they were punished for doing sacrifices because they were still actively doing them up until the very end of their empire.
>>539820094Don't worry, now civilized people are killing children. (1/3 of zoomers weren't born because of abortions), so the sun will be fine.
>>539816675They're a mix between feather Indians, ancient Egyptians and Venetians.Also picrel is the better Aztec city builder, but it lost its funding mere weeks ago due to bad sales, so it'll never ever get updated, which is a shame.
>>539816675My own theory is - the Nephilim Giants were known to have occupied the promised land to deny it to Moses and the Israelites. After they were nearly wiped out; the survivors grabbed Asian captives and came to North America. Human sacrifice was part of their demonic culture. Gradually, the Giants died out/interbreeding reduced them over a few thousand years to all that was left was the sacrifice culture with pieces of knowledge the Giants left. End.
>>539816675>Huitzilopochtli
>>539816675This is why. They know it.
>>539826978>hurr it must be the angelsYou sound like a Kurt Metzger podcast.Gee what other culture is bizarrely disproportionately well cataloged? Rome?Not like there's rapid equatorial current routes that take you from the Mediterranean to south America (there are)What other culture venerates blue eyed red haired people and won't shut up about double headed eagles and cooms to pyramids?Ding ding dingFunny how suspiciously new the Aztecs are as well. Convenient how they basically paved the way for New Spain.
>>539816675Because Mexico is nextdoor
