Aztecs 5

Analysis of Aztec encounter The civilizations of Spain and Azteca are two completely different worlds and their destiny meets amazing reactions from both sides. These countries do not know exactly what to expect or how to respond to each other's actions. Among these encounters, the difference between religion, customs and weapons is the deciding factor of who will become the dominant attacker. I do not know what will happen to both sides, but the Spaniards set goals for themselves before entering Mexico.

The population of Mexico, Central America, South America in 1492 is estimated to be approximately 37 million (6 million in Aztec empire, 5 million to 10 million in Maya, 11 million in Brazil and the Inca Empire) . 12 million)), the lowest estimate gives the number of deaths caused by 90% of the disease at the end of the 17th century (9 million in 1650). In the early nineteenth century Latin America would be comparable to that 15th century population; it was 17 million in 1800, 30 million in 1850, 61 million in 1900, 105 million in 1930, and In 1960 it was 218 million people. 361 million people, and 2005 were 563 million people. In the last 30 years of the 16th century, the population of Mexico today is decreasing to about 1 million. According to an estimate, today's Maya population is estimated at 6 million people. This is almost the same as the end of the 15th century.

Centuries ago, the Mexican Aztec empire was conquered by Spanish conquistadors. The Spaniards were shocked by religious activities, began to turn indigenous people into Catholics, and effectively declared a fight against Aztec religion. According to ancient prophecies, Aztecs and their religions will regain their rule in times known as the sixth sun. When trying to illegally cross the border between the United States and Mexico, an orphaned boy Juan Diego was picked up by a traveler and insisted that a stranger "Old Indian" knew the road. The old man took the boy to the ancient Aztec temple dedicated to the death god Mictlantecuhtli. Explain that they must appreciate the sacrificial god Tezcatlipoca, the old Indians keep carving the symbol of God in the hands of Diego. Proclaiming that the blood of the boy is pure, the old Indian died in Nawalt 's greetings and gave up the boy in the desert.
