    Dr. Kilroy-Ewbank kills me with that "jag-wire" thing. I've never heard it pronounced that way, it's great. Super unexpected. 🤭 The murals are amazing. I'd love to know the stories behind them too. It's to my shame that I thought about what a great track the street of the dead would be, but I really have to wonder what being in such an ancient place is like in general. I imagine it having a unique feeling, but I won't know until I visit one!

    It's beautiful! I've been there and I want go again!!
  • I really need to know how there are some thumbs down under a video like this. You know I think thumbs up/down are not enough to express feelings. There must be something more precise as to show why someone might dislike an informative video like this.

    We are fortunate that we have the United Nations Declaration of the Rights of Indigenous Peoples. We also have the Universal Declaration of Human Rights article 18 which is our freedom of religion and nationality. Article 15 under the Universal Declaration of Human Rights is our right to claim a nationality and our right to not be arbitrarily deprived of our nationality as well as our right to change our nationality. The United Nations Declaration of the Rights of Indigenous Peoples is very important to know. The United Nations Declaration of the Rights of Indigenous Peoples has 46 articles under it.

    You can easily see where the Aztec empire got its idea for urbanized cities from.

    so the aztecs preserved history better than us....im dissapointed in us
  • @seapeajones
    Fascinating point on the lack of cult of personality; I'd never thought of that.

    The Aztec viewed Teotihuacan very similarly to how the Inca viewed Tiwanaku. Very interesting.

    Still one of our most sacred sites in Central Mexico. Sure hope someday (soon) its mysteries will be solved. :]

    I really think this was an empire sprawling from the Yucatán to the pacific. Trade routes? Roads?

    Interesting how the conquistadors didn't destroy this sight
