Who knew the Aztecs were peace-loving hippies?!

“they were greeted by a peaceful people prone to building pyramids instead of stockpiles of weapons”

Go look up “Aztec” and then get back to me.

They had a lot of hearts.

The Spaniards settled in Cholula and kept up with the local affinity for religious monuments...

Oh please. Slapping churches on top of native religious sites, like this pyramid, was an old cultural domination tactic before the Spaniards left Europe.

God’ll get for that!

The Spanish arriving in Aztec areas was analogous to the Allied armies liberating death camps in Nazi Germany. Thank God that barbaric culture was eradicated

[To Hell With Poverty]

Absolutely. They had a lot of help from the local subjugated peoples, too.

They may well have murdered more people in cold blood than Hitler could have imagined.

That was an old tactic before Jesus died for our sins.

Just looks like an unrecognized server certificate, most likely just a rookie sysadmin config error. I don't see any indication of actual malware-type badness.

Pissaro and his diseased men and pigs caused an epidemic that may have killed 2 million people.

Twenty years ago we went through that pyramid which remains under dirt. Apparently, the indians covered it to look like a big hill to protect it from the Spanish. It stands out because it is on a plain. There is an old Spanish church on top of it. The church isn’t used anymore, but you enter the tunnels of the pyramid through it. The tunnels wind through the 6 levels of pyramid (apparently six pyramids were built one on top of the other as they grew it. There are many colorful jaquar motifs and so forth on the walls. You come out the bottom in some other archeological stuff. Pretty cool.

Yeah, never mind the human sacrifices and mountains of skulls.

My post was in reference to the Aztecs. read it again.

They all appear to derive from a more in-depth BBC article:
