I’m so glad someone mentioned the author’s full name Bernal Diaz Del Castillo. At the end of his life, Castillo was blind & poor. He wanted to leave his family something, so he dictated his memoir. A most amazing account of the Conquest. The other best book is not so well known: “The Hummingbird & the Hawk.” I will find the author later. There was an Aztec General, Tlacael I believe, this General served under Montezuma I AND Montezuma II. With these two books, you learn about all the factors that contributed to the conquest. Not just the technological advantages, guns, sabres, horses. Cortez arrived at a time of the Aztec calendar that predicted doom. Cortez was of course pale in comparison to the natives. A previous culture had a ‘pale’ hero who departed from the shore where Cortez arrived (Veracruz today). Some believed the hero had returned. The Aztecs had many enemies. They used one culture, the Tlachclalans, to practice attacks and war, but they never completely conquered and and defeated them. When Cortez and his soldiers arrived, the Tlachclalans were ready, willing, and able to join Cortez in the conquest.Gosh, there is so much more. Some believed that the horse and the man on the horse were one creature.

I will write more later. The Hummingbird & the Hawk is one of the best books ever.

Keep in mind that the Aztec practice of human sacrifice was, at one time, universal throughout the world, and not only where you had an advanced civilization. ALL religions at that time were synonymous with human sacrifice. This was done to propitiate sky gods who had rained death upon the Earth at one point in history, quite possibly the Younger Dryas event which destroyed most life in North America and wreaked destruction around the globe.

The link between sky gods and planets is no accident. Saturn, Jupiter, Mars and Venus were Roman names for both gods and planets. The same planets were also known as gods in all other religions where one finds an inescapable link between religion and astronomy. The Mayans and Aztecs main deity, Quetzalcoatl or “Feathered Serpent” was also the name for the planet Venus in their astronomy and was observed very closely with fear and trepidation.

The ancient primary pantheon, the old gods, were the planets we see today in more distant orbits. Back then, they loomed large in the heavens and their electrical interactions via plasma streamers and discharges transfixed and awed the ancient world, animated ancient rock art and caused humans to study the heavens for portents of another destructive event.

Supplication to Inana:

“Like a dragon you have deposited venom on the foreign lands. When like Ickur you roar at the earth, no vegetation can stand up to you. As a flood descending upon (?) those foreign lands, powerful one of heaven and earth, you are their Inana.

13-19Raining blazing fire down upon the Land, endowed with divine powers by An, lady who rides upon a beast...”
