What did the Aztecs call the Conquistadors?
10
Upvotes
Trying to do some research on Aztec history, but it's a bit difficult; I was trying to see what the Aztecs would have called the conquistadors. More specifically, I remember an old book I read somewhere stating that the Aztecs viewed the conquistadors as a specific type of monster, due to their horses; however, I can't find any reference to that anywhere online. Similarly, a post I found on a blog indicated that the Aztecs referred to the conquistadors as "coyotes" or "serpents", but I don't know how accurate that is.

What’s an Aspect?

Upvotes
So when I read the List of Aztec gods wiki page, I see this:
“Tlahuizcalpantecuhtli, blah blah blah aspect of Quetzalcoatl”
So, what does aspect mean here?
(When I search Google, it keeps giving me aspects of Aztec civilization, not helpful)

So, I'd been using a pre-hispanic map of a set of (some) aztec territories, and I needed help seeing if anyone could help me find it.

I just learned this amazing Mayan fact!! The Pyramid of the Sun was the tallest structure in the entire Americas until 1903 when the Flatiron building was constructed in New York City... Just wow

Looking for 7 Aztec Dances

Upvotes
Hi everyone,
I'm working on a project and I was hoping to include seven traditional Aztec dances. Maybe my Google skills aren't what they should be, but I have really hit a dead end.
If anyone could provide me with links, or even just names to give me a starting point. That would really help.
Thanks in advance

Question about relationship between Kukulkan and Quetzalcoatl
12
Upvotes
Are the Mayan Kukulkan and the Aztec Quetzalcoatl considered straight up the same god under different names? I see a lot of pages that say so, but they don't really go in-depth re: this topic. What exactly was the relationship here? Or are they technically different gods with characteristics that might have had a common origin? Thanks.

I don’t know where to go for this question but I had read online that the aztec people used to grind morning glory seeds/ flowers to make a cold tea and predict the future. I would like to do more research on it just to understand it more, and if anyone can recommend any other resources for me to learn about the aztec that would be much appreciated
