Thanks for sharing this nice peek into Mexican history. It led me to Aztec priests, their razor-sharp obsidian blades and the impressions of Spanish conquistadores, detailing the things they saw, before they started doing what conquistadores do...

It maddens me to no end that the Aztecs had a fairly robust writing and number system with an extensive written history that was almost entirely burned and destroyed by the Spanish.
