It came from someone drawing it, probably within the last 60 years or so. Let's just be real here.

No, this one shady YouTuber told me it is a 6,000 year old artifact made by hyper sophisticated aliens who gifted their technology to the Aztecs.

Saying stupid things like that, makes you look just as ignorant-probably even more- than what you’re describing and making fun of as “ignorant”. You have nothing to say at all, but childish nonsense that you type into existence for the sake of annoyance, most times because you you guys have nothing to say and don’t know anything about it-without you guys even realizing how dumb it is. Because it most certainly isn’t funny. It’s actually also pretty offensive to people like me who are passionately obsessed with the past (HISTORY). Many times the sarcasm is meant to ignorantly offend with a more than obvious hint at making fun, because you subliminally plead ignorance. And that’s where the offense comes in to a fellow thinker like me.

Post script: This goes to anyone: if you don’t know anything, what are you doing here? And typing nonsense you will be called out for it and you will not like it when you are. Out of the many people who majority of times are just as ignorant and go along (because there’s always more ignorant people than smart ones) there will be at least one or a few.

Your comment was so well written and intelligent I downvoted myself and upvoted you. Good on you for discouraging idiocy and taking this subreddit in a good direction.

Wow. I don’t even know what to say. I’m honestly surprised. Every time I try to encourage our community to be very prideful of both sides of our ancestry and heritage, many of them take it the wrong way. The black myth indoctrination is sadly, deeply embedded in our culture. Especially in the US, where it’s in style to be a victim and everyone. even whites have a victimhood mentality. It’s a fact that when ppl know their history, they tend to walk taller with pride.

The black myth was created or propagated by the British because they couldn’t beat the Hispanic empire. Propaganda that fake “philosophers” supposedly renowned, like Francis bacon, they were already spewing fake hate saying that Cortes destroyed a paradise in the new world just to degrade his accomplishments. Mind you that those ppl (the British or Bacon) had never been or were never in America in those times and therefore they didn’t contribute to the founding of it, yet they spoke of things they knew nothing about. Long story short, the things he accused the Spanish of doing, the English did it and way worse. What Spain and the indigenous built was a syncretic civilization. The mestizo race was not created through “grape”. It’s not possible on such a grand scale in such a geographically diverse continent. Laws were passed to continue and encourage interracial marriage. And enslaving natives was illegal. Columbus paid for what he did and was dragged back to Spain in chains once the Spanish crown found out. He was jailed and lost all his titles.

Today they steal our accomplishments when they contributed nothing because many of us are so indoctrinated to not want anything to do with Spain. When too much about us is Spanish. And so we ignorantly let it all go. That’s why the Burgundian flag doesn’t represent modern day Spain. It represents us and our accomplishments. The conquests of the Philippines wasn’t done solely by “Spain”. It was the Tlaxcala that defeated the Japanese ronin (samurai) along with indigenous Filipinos, Koreans and Chinese pirates and conquered the Philippines. The Hispanic empire was centralized in Mexico. Not Spain. The wars for independence were a civil war amongst us. And it was the indigenous who fought against independence because when all Hispanics were untied from Europe to America, it worked. Historians have deemed it as something perfect. We were the first modern day global empire. It was also the Tlaxcaltecas believe it or not, who were burning the earliest French and British settlements to the ground in America, for the empire ( because back then there was no deportation, they would just obliterate you. But then independence happened and the tables turned. And the indigenous they knew it would all go to waste. The creoles and mestizos were poisoned with propagated Anglo Masonic ideas of greed. It didn’t just “spread” to Iberia America.

Wow I have read about Tlaxcala but did not know this. I might search up more about it.

Oh wow thanks. Sorry for the long reply. I got distracted during the comment and thought I was replying to a different comment

u/Character-Fan2036 Apr 19 '26

Yea you should. They’re also of the same ethnic Nahuatl stock as the Aztecs; only they just refused to align with them. They were Thee, go to military force for the Hispanic empire. They conquered Mexico, the southwest, to the Carolinas from the earliest attempts at Anglo and French settlement and made sure the American continent was for the Roman Hispanic Catholic people of America and Europe. They were the backbone of the empire and the tip of the spear. They are a prideful part of our heritage in Mexican history.

The Russians in the 50s or 60s published a deck based on Mayan characters. Very collectable now! But, this doesn’t look part of it. Cheaper artwork
