So, I went to the anthropology museum the other day and... well, I'm sorry....

[azucar-skull]

Aztec: Yeah so this land is called Meshiko. And we are the Meshika people.

Spaniard: Ah...Mexico and the Mexican people.

Aztec: That is not even close- Anyways, our language spreads all the way down to Nicawaguak

Spaniard: Nicaragua.

Aztec: *sigh*

Aztec: Axolotl is pronounced ak-sho-lot

English speakers: Ax-oh-lot-TL

Aztec: No-

Aztec: This is an ocelotl.

Minecraft: Drop the L at the end and we got a nice Jungle mob.

Aztec: Bruh

Minecraft: Ohhhh and a jungle temple too!

Aztec: ARE YOU FUCKING SERIOUS-

Aztec: These flowers are called cuetlaxochitl, meaning "the mortal flower"

Some white asshole: I shall claim them as my own discovery and call them poinsettias. They shall be horribly whitewashed from your culture and used as Christmas decorations.

Aztec: What. The. Fuck.

Aztec: We are Meshika. Please write it down in your book.

Anthropologist: LOL no, I'm gonna call you guys Aztec.

Aztec: Why????

Anthropologist: Don't know don't care. Oh and everyone will think you are an extinct civilization with absolutely no trace left of who your people were and we will horribly misrepresent you to be blood thirsty savages that put death curses on the living.

Aztec: 👁💧👄💧👁

So, fun fact, most of the army that conquered the Aztecs were actually made up of other peoples in Mexico who decided they hated the Aztecs more than the newly arrived Spanish

This is the Aztec god Nanahuatzin. He sacrificed himself in a fire so that the world would have a sun and humanity could live. However, there is a problem. More and more humans are spending less time in the sun to spend more time at work and in school. In some places, people spend the whole day without seeing the light of the sun because they are busy working! This makes Nanahuatzin very sad because it means his sacrifice was in vain. Please cheer him up by quitting your job and/or classes to spend more time in his radiant light.
