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
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.
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.
