Googles: Scholarly sources about Aztec/Tenochtitlan Mexica art history for a fun side project
Gets: Some dude talking about this “Epic Aztec Art!!1!1!”. The epic art in question is Maya. It’s Maya.
I don’t know how strongly I can effectively stress that the Aztec and Maya were and are different.
#im back on my bullshit again!!!!!#yes this happens more often than you think#yes we in america have so mushed together our ideas about indigenous mesoamerica#that we freely mix the arts and cultures of DISTINCT GROUPS#yes- some people today do claim mexica and maya ancestry and this is not about them#yall rock. hugs to you all#but like#aztec as we use it today means the TRIPLE ALLIANCE OF THREE DIFFERENT GROUPS in and around Tenochtitlan/modern Mexico City#and don’t get me started on how the Maya were never a single unified group#im biting#im throwing a tantrum#i wanna choke cortez to death like he did to his first wife#diego de landa is on my shitlist too#may the conquistadors rot in hell#anyway art history rage of the day#art history#aztec#mexica#maya
