Azteca Book List

A book list for people who want to study more of the Aztecs. (I linked them to their Amazon listing in the states.)

Daily Life of the Aztecs

The Broken Spears: The Aztec account of the conquest of Mexico

Treatise on the Heathen Superstitions

The Illustrated dictionary of the gods and symbols of ancient Mexico and the Maya

Codex Chimalpopoca

Codex Borgia

The Dialogue of the Earth and Sky

The war of Witches: A Journey into the underworld of the contemporary Aztecs (I have not read this one yet, I've read all the others or have had them. I heard this one is a must read, especially if you're into Aztec magic/witchcraft. It's made by the same ethnographer, Timothy Knab who did Dialogue.)

If you're a bibliophile or lover of knowledge, the largest primary source on the Aztecs is the Florentine codex. It's often the most referenced as well, because it's comprised of 12 books in total that covers the entirety of the ancient Aztecs. However, it's very expensive in English, even buying all together a few years back was about 500 bucks if not more so. It's better to buy them individually, even though it's a tad more expensive.

Marker drawing of Xolotil and Quetzalcoatl.

The twins.

I have a soft spot for Quetzalcoatl the feathered serpent. Once I found out that sometimes he has a twin brother in Xolotil (axolotl) I grew an appreciation for him too.

The mythology and spirituality from Mexico and the different parts of Central America is so complex and neat.

I am happy as much of it survives as it did.

Up here the only story I know of that survived from mine is of how the spider became our symbol.

Hi Jessica, are there any replica Aztec villages in the world to your knowledge?

From a pre-Colombian standpoint, not that I know of. The major cities got hit.

But Aztec villages do still survive as they left much of the rural area intact. They still practice the old religion: https://www.mexicolore.co.uk/aztecs/gods/what-happened-to-the-aztec-gods-after-the-conquest-1/kids

I’m planning on visiting my aunt in Mexico sometime and I was wondering if there were any traditional Mexica/Aztec communities near the town I’m staying in (San Miguel) where I could experience some of the culture

I can’t be certain because I know more about Pre-Colombian Mesoamerica than modern Mexico. I know there is a couple of ruins in that area though. Hopefully, one of the followers can answer?

El nacimiento de Quetzalcoatl con su mamá la princesa Chimalma

#quetzalcoatl #chimalma #aztec gods #aztec

why are you saying the aztecs are no longer around, i guess then i am a figment of everyones imagination? My grandmother on my mothers side was Aztec that makes me half aztec, we are still around just not a grand empire anymore but there are a LOT of us around

When did I say they weren't around?

Sorry going into a spill here of text because I misinterpreted what you said. I have posted about modern villages before. So I am more than a little confused.

Spanish conquest: Other than being attacked by Spaniards, diseases is the reason most of the empire collapsed. It's estimated by scientists that 95% of Natives in the Americas died of diseases.

How else could a handful of Spaniards defeat 100,000+ Aztecs? Disease. Despite this many people survived hence the Florentine codex. I never contested this.

And there are still Aztec villages and religion that is being practiced, I agree. Nahua of La Huasteca are testament to this. They did have syncretism with Catholicism, but Nahua people did like Christianity and the story of Jesus's sacrifice because it fit into their religious worldview of human sacrifice. An ethnographer, Timothy Knabb, said they "never met a god they did not like". So the Aztec religion continues to evolve today.

On top of this Nahuatl is the most common Native language spoken in the Americas. So there is plenty of Aztecs still around. Most traditional ones are in rural villages where Catholicism didn't have a big hold.

Hi! I was doing a report and I was wondering if you could tell me the percentages of how the Aztecs died out, 25% smallpox, 12 starvation, etc. It would be very much appreciated.. Thank you😊

I think the numbers for disease is higher. I don’t know if we have exact estimates. But somewhere like 90% of Natives were thought to die of disease. It’s at least, more than half.

"Toledo explains that “the biggest thing you lose in translation is the musicality of the poem,” and even goes as far as to say that “when I read my poems in Spanish, they’re dead.” She notes idiosyncrasies of her native language: Sentences begin with a verb, and there are no gender distinctions."
