The Aztec figure of Cihuateotl, dating from around 1500 A.D., is exhibited as part of 'The Aztec Empire' exhibition at the Guggenheim museum in Bilbao, Spain, March 17, 2005. Mexican archeologists have found what may be the most significant Aztec ruin in decades, with the unearthing of an altar and a monolith in the busy heart of Mexico City, Mayor Alejandro Encinas said on Wednesday.

The most meaningful thing that has ever happened in Mexico
was when whitey introduced electricity into the area.
Since gratitude is unbecoming socially in their complex
culture they migrate north to display resentment, break
federal and local laws, vote illegally recieve benefits
and mess up apartments.

This is interesting. But why are we still worshiping the Aztec, or any other backwards pagan culture of losers for that matter? If they were so damned great they would have kicked Europe's ass, not the other way around. They're useful as an example of what not to do, nothing more.
