Aztec temple ruins discovered in Mexico City
The remains of an Aztec temple built in the late 1400s have been found in downtown Mexico City.
Along with it, archaeologists unearthed the remains of 32 men who were sacrificed during ceremonial games at the site.
The discovery offers a greater understanding of the Spanish conquest of the Aztec Empire more than five centuries ago.

LARGEST PYRAMIDS in MEXICO. Aztec Ruins near Mexico City. TEOTIHUACAN by Drone 4k
Mexico is no doubt one of the best travel destinations in the world. The most popular places to visit in Mexico are the beach resorts like Cancun and Tulum, located on the Yucatan peninsula. Mexico is also home to the world's largest pyramid. Many people think that world's largest pyramids are in Egypt, but actually the largest pyramid in the world is located in the town of Cholula close to the city of Puebla. If you are traveling to Mexico City, then you should definitely visit Teotihuacan. Teotihuacan is an ancient city located 40 kilometres northeast of modern-day Mexico City.
Teotihuacan is known today as the site of many of the most architecturally significant Mesoamerican pyramids built in the pre-Columbian Americas. Running down the middle of the site, which was once a flourishing p...

NM True TV - Chaco Canyon & Aztec Ruins
The Ancestral Puebloan people created villages and mystery in the Southwest. And nowhere has a higher concentration of those villages than New Mexico. Chaco Culture National Historical Park, commonly known as Chaco Canyon, is the best-preserved and largest site that offers insight into the mystery. And a bit farther north Aztec Ruins National Monument is yet another key Ancestral Puebloan village. Why did they build it all, why did they leave so soon, and where did they go? There are theories and research, but Michael and the NM True TV Crew were happy to let the mysteries remain, and let the beauty surround them.

AZTEC RUINS National Monument | Exploring a Great Kiva as it Looked Before | New Mexico
New Mexico has no shortage of Ancestral Puebloan structures to explore, but one stands above the rest offering the chance to turn back time and step into a great kiva as would have been used centuries before. This is not to be missed!
Located in northern New Mexico stands Aztec Ruins National Monument. This near millennia-old great house illustrates how the Ancestral Puebloan people lived.
This park may be smaller than other nearby parks, however, Aztec Ruins have something one won't see elsewhere - a reconstructed Great Kiva. Visitors can step inside and down into the shaded kiva and into the past. Whereas other kivas one may see are open round pit-like structures in the ground, this great kiva has plastered and painted walls, with completed ladders and a wooden roof.

Quietly tucked away in northwestern New Mexico, sits a foundation for Pueblo culture. "They were here for centuries, and we need to recognize that as not just part of New Mexico history, but as a part of our nation’s history," said Nathan Hatfield, program manager for interpretation at the Aztec Ruins National Monument.

Where did the Idea of Aliens Come From? #history #ancient #aztec
Aztec history refers to the period of Mesoamerican civilization dominated by the Aztec Empire, which flourished in central Mexico from the 14th to the 16th centuries. The Aztecs, also known as the Mexica, were a Nahuatl-speaking people who migrated from northern Mexico to the Valley of Mexico, where they founded the city of Tenochtitlan in 1325.
The Aztec Empire reached its peak in the early 16th century, under the rule of Emperor Moctezuma II. At its height, the empire encompassed much of central and southern Mexico, with Tenochtitlan serving as its capital and one of the largest cities in the world.

Mexico is no doubt one of the best travel destinations in the world. The most popular places to visit in Mexico are the beach resorts like Cancun and Tulum, located on the Yucatan peninsula. Mexico is also home to the world's largest pyramid. Many people think that world's largest pyramids are in Egypt, but actually the largest pyramid in the world is located in the town of Cholula close to the city of Puebla. If you are traveling to Mexico City, then you should definitely visit Teotihuacan. Teotihuacan is an ancient city located 40 kilometres northeast of modern-day Mexico City.
Teotihuacan is known today as the site of many of the most architecturally significant Mesoamerican pyramids built in the pre-Columbian Americas. Running down the middle of the site, which was once a flourishing pre-Columbian city, is the Avenue of the Dead. It links the Temple of Quetzalcoatl, the Pyramid of the Moon and the Pyramid of the Sun, the latter two with panoramic views from their summits. Teotihuacan was the largest city in the pre-Columbian Americas, with a population estimated at 125,000 or more, making it at least the sixth-largest city in the world during its epoch. Nobody really knows who has built these amazing pyramids. The Aztecs came to Teotihuacan a lot later and they were amazed by the size of the pyramids.
It is hard to understand the scale of this city from this aerial drone footage of Teotihuacan. When you walk near the pyramids they look massive. Usually there are lots of tourists visiting the pyramids but I got the chance to fly the drone around Teotihuacan when it was completely empty.

The Ancestral Puebloan people created villages and mystery in the Southwest. And nowhere has a higher concentration of those villages than New Mexico. Chaco Culture National Historical Park, commonly known as Chaco Canyon, is the best-preserved and largest site that offers insight into the mystery. And a bit farther north Aztec Ruins National Monument is yet another key Ancestral Puebloan village. Why did they build it all, why did they leave so soon, and where did they go? There are theories and research, but Michael and the NM True TV Crew were happy to let the mysteries remain, and let the beauty surround them.

In total, the trail is a half-mile through the grounds.

Aztec history refers to the period of Mesoamerican civilization dominated by the Aztec Empire, which flourished in central Mexico from the 14th to the 16th centuries. The Aztecs, also known as the Mexica, were a Nahuatl-speaking people who migrated from northern Mexico to the Valley of Mexico, where they founded the city of Tenochtitlan in 1325.
The Aztec Empire reached its peak in the early 16th century, under the rule of Emperor Moctezuma II. At its height, the empire encompassed much of central and southern Mexico, with Tenochtitlan serving as its capital and one of the largest cities in the world.
The Aztecs were known for their advanced agricultural techniques, sophisticated social organization, and impressive architectural achievements, including monumental temples, pyramids, and ceremonial centers. They also developed a complex system of tribute and taxation, which allowed them to maintain control over their vast empire.
Religion played a central role in Aztec society, with the worship of numerous gods and goddesses, including the sun god Huitzilopochtli, the rain god Tlaloc, and the feathered serpent god Quetzalcoatl. Human sacrifice was a prominent feature of Aztec religious rituals, believed to appease the gods and ensure the continued prosperity of the empire.
Despite their military prowess and cultural achievements, the Aztec Empire was ultimately brought to an end by the Spanish conquest led by Hernán Cortés. In 1521, after a prolonged siege, the Spanish captured Tenochtitlan, marking the end of Aztec rule and the beginning of Spanish colonization in Mexico. The legacy of the Aztec civilization lives on in the cultural heritage of modern Mexico, with many aspects of Aztec art, language, and tradition still celebrated today.
Maya history encompasses the civilization of the ancient Maya people, who inhabited the Mesoamerican region primarily in what is now modern-day Mexico, Guatemala, Belize, Honduras, and El Salvador. The Maya civilization flourished for thousands of years, with its peak between 250 and 900 AD, known as the Classic period.
The Maya were known for their advanced understanding of astronomy, mathematics, architecture, and art. They developed a complex system of hieroglyphic writing and a precise calendar system, which allowed them to accurately predict celestial events and track time.
The Maya built impressive cities, with monumental architecture including pyramids, temples, palaces, and ball courts. These cities were often ruled by powerful kings and served as centers of political, economic, and religious activity.
Religion played a central role in Maya society, with the worship of numerous gods and goddesses, including the maize god and the rain god. Rituals such as bloodletting and human sacrifice were believed to appease the gods and ensure the well-being of the community.
Despite their achievements, the Maya civilization experienced periods of decline and fragmentation, with many of their cities abandoned by the time of the Spanish conquest in the 16th century. The reasons for the collapse of the Maya civilization are still debated by scholars and may include factors such as environmental degradation, warfare, and political instability.
Today, the descendants of the ancient Maya continue to inhabit the region, maintaining aspects of their traditional culture and heritage. Maya ruins and archaeological sites, such as Tikal and Chichen Itza, attract visitors from around the world, providing glimpses into the rich history and legacy of this remarkable civilization.

Human sacrifice was a prominent feature of Aztec religious rituals, believed to appease the gods and ensure the continued prosperity of the empire.
Despite their military prowess and cultural achievements, the Aztec Empire was ultimately brought to an end by the Spanish conquest led by Hernán Cortés. In 1521, after a prolonged siege, the Spanish captured Tenochtitlan, marking the end of Aztec rule and the beginning of Spanish colonization in Mexico. The legacy of the Aztec civilization lives on in the cultural heritage of modern Mexico, with many aspects of Aztec art, language, and tradition still celebrated today.
Maya history encompasses the civilization of the ancient Maya people, who inhabited the Mesoamerican region primarily in what is now modern-day Mexico, Guatemala, Belize, Honduras, and El Salvador. The Maya civilization flourished for thousands of years, with its peak between 250 and 900 AD, known as the Classic period.
The Maya were known for their advanced understanding of astronomy, mathematics, architecture, and art. They developed a complex system of hieroglyphic writing and a precise calendar system, which allowed them to accurately predict celestial events and track time.
The Maya built impressive cities, with monumental architecture including pyramids, temples, palaces, and ball courts. These cities were often ruled by powerful kings and served as centers of political, economic, and religious activity.
Religion played a central role in Maya society, with the worship of numerous gods and goddesses, including the maize god and the rain god. Rituals such as bloodletting and human sacrifice were believed to appease the gods and ensure the well-being of the community.
Despite their achievements, the Maya civilization experienced periods of decline and fragmentation, with many of their cities abandoned by the time of the Spanish conquest in the 16th century. The reasons for the collapse of the Maya civilization are still debated by scholars and may include factors such as environmental degradation, warfare, and political instability.
Today, the descendants of the ancient Maya continue to inhabit the region, maintaining aspects of their traditional culture and heritage. Maya ruins and archaeological sites, such as Tikal and Chichen Itza, attract visitors from around the world, providing glimpses into the rich history and legacy of this remarkable civilization.
