'Aztecs' = Mexica of Aztlan/Atlantis

Arrival from Atlantis (Codex Boturini, Aztlán)

Where was Aztlan? It was a faraway island or continent in the middle of the sea. It may have been inside our Hollow Earth (called Agartha in some traditions), with an internal sea described by Brooks Agnew, separated into seven giant caves or caverns with different groupings or tribes of people. And the people came to Mexico by boat long ago with a memory of their origins in that highly developed civilization, which they recreated in a great empire of temples and pyramids, monuments to the ET "gods" (star people) and dragons (Nāgas, reptilians) and others who shaped them.

Aztec mythology and the origins of humanity | Fate and Fabled

(Storied) July 20, 2022: If the word Nahua (/nah-wah/) sounds unfamiliar, it’s probably because one is used to hearing about them referred to as the “Aztecs.” That is a completely made up name by Anglo researchers.

The history is complicated, but the name Aztecs was popularized by a German explorer in the 1800s to describe the powerful Mesoamerican empire. Nahua culture is richly complex, with stories that reflect and explain the sometimes-confusing duality of nature. Beyond mythology, the Nahua had an interesting political structure, impressive agricultural system, and TWO calendars. Yet, most people these days do not even know them by their real name, the Mexica (source of the name Mexico).

Spanish rescue teams are working to find those feared missing, but damage to infrastructure (permanent structure used in day-to-day living) has made some communities hard to access.

Spanish Prime Minister Pedro Sanchez promised residents in affected areas that they would not be abandoned and announced a three-day mourning period.

• UPDATE: At least 158 people are now known to have died after flash floods hit parts of Spain, particularly devastating communities in Valencia. Almost all the deaths, 155, have been recorded in the region, with two more in Castilla-La Mancha and another, a British man, in Andalusia. Emergency teams are continuing to search for those missing and hundreds of soldiers have been deployed to Valencia to assist with the operation. More

Mexican Independence Day Eve (live)

Okay, Mexicans we get. But what is a Chicano/a? - It is a blend of American and Mexican.

In the Zocalo of Mexico City, el presidente waves the bandera and cries out, Viva Mexico!

.

Mexicans are romantic Latino/as

Happy Cinco de Mayo (Spanish "5th of May"), an American holiday most celebrants think is the Mexican equivalent of the "4th of July." That day is actually the 16th of September, celebrated on the eve of.

The "Cry from Dolores" (Grito de Dolores) occurred in Dolores ("Pains"), Mexico, on September 16, 1810, when Roman Catholic priest Miguel Hidalgo y Costilla rang his church bell and gave the call to arms that triggered the Mexican War of Independence [from European colonial forces].

Isn't that right, young Mexicans at Sick NW? 

The Cry of Dolores is most commonly known by the locals as El Grito de Independencia ("The Cry of Independence").

Every year on the eve of Independence Day, the president of Mexico reenacts the cry from the balcony of the National Palace in Mexico City, while ringing the same bell Fr. Hidalgo used in 1810.

During a patriotic speech, the president calls out the names of the fallen heroes who died during the War of Independence and ends the speech by shouting Viva Mexico! ("Long live Mexico!") three times followed by the Mexican National Anthem. More: Cry of Dolores

How shall we celebrate? - Let's eat! We'll have the vegan gluten-free Mexican Buddha Bowl

Real Americans (of the Americas) know Spanish

Looks delicious!

It's good to bear in mind when attempting to learn or speak Spanish that Spanish is NOT the indigenous language of Mexico or the Latin America. Spanish is a colonial European language from Europe's Iberian Peninsula used by Spain to take over, forge an empire, and dominate the "New World."

The language of Mexico, if it had to choose only one, is native Nahuatl (the Uto-Aztecan languages of the Aztecs, in particular the Mexica tribe).

Who is the face of Mexico? It was Frida Kahlo.

To think Spanish is the way to the heart of the culture is like imagining that learning "American" is the way to get to know the US of A. There are many languages the U.S., the tongues of immigrants, with many more dialects and accents.

Fortunately, we have a standardized English so that newscasts from around the country are mutually intelligible. But try speaking New Yorkese in the South, and you're in for a surprise or that stuck up Nor'easter Harvard Square jabber in laid back California and someone will hand you a decongestant (or laxative).

With enough time, these would all divide into unique languages. Originally, the First Nations had their own languages and it's unclear that there was a way for them all to communicate by verbal means. They managed but were not merged into an "empire" as we are today, with England and English on top.

How not to have sex with Neanderthals

Hey, Baby, once you go Neanderthal, you....

What does "Spain" mean? It seems to be the word Sapien with the letters slightly scrambled, a placed where various kinds of human species lived, one we call "modern" and another "old," one Sapien and another Neanderthal. We are Homo sapiens, Euro Cro-Mags, and they are a retarded subspecies on the margins of our territory, living their savage and barbarian ways with their big muscles, attracting our young women.

Were Neanderthals "white"?

(History with Kayleigh) NEANDERTHAL MUSEUM. Modern humans know that Neanderthal DNA has influenced us in quite a few ways, but did their DNA influence our skin tone or our hair color? Why are Neanderthals often depicted with white or pale skin? How accurate are these depictions?

Skeleton reveals early humans had sex with Neanderthals

(BBC News) In 1998, the skeleton of a 29,000-year-old child was unearthed in Portugal’s Lapedo Valley (near Spain on the Iberian Peninsula, which includes Basque Country and is the westernmost point of Eurasia).

Subscribe #Portugal #Science #BBCNews

The child had both early modern human and Neanderthal features, including the chin and lower arms of a modern human and the jaw and robust build of a Neanderthal.

Researchers believed that the child's anatomy was the result of mixed Neanderthal and early modern human ancestry. Now new archeological and DNA techniques may hold the answer.

US volcano erupts, scientists warn of more

Jesus is named 'Son of Zeus' by EC

If the end of the world were coming, and it is not, it would be easy to work oneself up into a frenzy with all the headlines. There's rumbling in Kilauea, Hawaii, smoke and ash in Mexico City, and lightning bolts vitiating other active volcanos around the world in Europe and Asia. You'd think Zeus and Indra would be more careful where they're throwing those bolts. But it does make for spectacular footage in this strange world we've arrived at from elsewhere. We're not from here so it has got to be exciting that we're taking over the place and completely ruining it because not enough of us care to stop the strip miners and capitalists out to exploit it. Think a few more preserves would be in order? If the parrot fish do not mow the lawn and chew up the coral reef like they used to, maybe we should go into overdrive to keep the reefs we have and save them from overfishing and degradation. The cause is not warming seas (though bringing the average temperature down would be nice). Dr. Joel Wallach has found the cause and it is acidity brought about as a byproduct of dams. Water running out to sea used to bring massive amounts of base minerals washed out from the mountains. When this was prevented by damming up the sweet water, the seas became more corrosive to delicate living corals. If science knows that because he published it, one would think something would be done about it like transporting silt and sediments over the dam and into the sea like it used to flow. Eruptions are a great source of minerals, so we can say Gaia is just self-adjusting.

Scientists rediscover human groups that were thought to have died out decades ago

OMG, these tribal Africans are so beautiful!

A team of researchers has rediscovered a human population that was thought to have been lost decades ago.

When a number of languages died out in southern Africa's Namib Desert, anthropologists feared that the populations that spoke them had gone, too. However, experts have now discovered that the genetic identity of these groups may have been maintained, even without their native tongue.

"We were able to locate groups which were once thought to have disappeared more than 50 years ago," Dr. Jorge Rocha of the University of Porto said in a statement. One of these groups is the Kwepe, who used to speak Kwadi.

The disappearance of the language was thought to mark the end of their separation from neighboring populations. Dr. Ann-Maria Fehn of the Centro de Investigação em Biodiversidade e Recursos Genéticos said:

"Kwadi was a click language that shared a common ancestor with the Khoe languages spoken by foragers and herders across Southern Africa."

The team managed to find the descendants of those who spoke Kwadi and discovered that they had retained their genetic distinctiveness that traces back to a time before Bantu-speaking farmers moved into the area.

When Blacks ruled in Europe: The Moors (doc)

Bettany Hughes (bettanyhughes.co.uk); Eds., Wisdom Quarterly

Join British historian Bettany Hughes as she examines a long-buried chapter of European history -- the rise and fall of Islamic culture in Europe in what is now Spain and Portugal [and the Basque region of the Iberian Peninsula?].

Although generations of Spanish rulers have tried to expunge this era from the historical record, recent archeology and scholarship now shed fresh light on the Moors who flourished in Al-Andalus for more than 700 years.

This fascinating documentary destroys old stereotypes and offers shocking new insights.

Discover the ingenious mathematics behind Granada’s dazzling Alhambra Palace, trace El Cid’s lineage to his Moorish roots, and learn how the Iberian population left Christianity and willingly converted to Islam [to align with the power elite as many go Christian now] in droves.

Through interviews with noted scholars, see how Moorish advances in mathematics, astronomy, art, and agriculture helped propel the West out of the Dark Ages and into the Renaissance.

What emerges is a richly detailed portrait of a sensuous, inquisitive, and remarkably progressive Islamic culture in Christian Europe. When the Moors Ruled in Europe (2005) - IMDb

Light on Dark Ages: Black rulers in Europe

Scott Reeves (loveexploring.com via MSN, 4/4/23); B. Hughes; Eds., Wisdom Quarterly

Historian Bettany Hughes

We can blame 14th-century scholar Petrarch for believing the "Dark Ages" were a time of primitive living.

[Actually, as British historian Bettany Hughes makes perfectly clear, it was the time when for seven centuries Europe was ruled by "the Moors," Black rulers from North African, who prospered at this time then were assiduously erased from white history books.]

For centuries afterwards, historians repeated his idea that the early medieval period – roughly AD 400 to AD 1100 – was a dismal era when Western Europeans forgot the great achievements of classical antiquity in [Mediterranean] Greece, [Latin] Rome, [Middle Eastern] Persia, and beyond.

But many archeological discoveries found in the centuries since suggest that the Dark Ages weren’t so bleak after all. Join in the exploration of the surprisingly advanced civilizations of the not-so Dark Ages. More

When the Moors Ruled in Europe

This a documentary film presented by English historian Bettany Hughes, a two-part series on the contribution Black people from Africa and Spain (the part of Europe that borders Africa), the Moors, made to Europe during their 700-year reign in Spain and Portugal ending in the 15th century.

It was first broadcast on Channel 4 on Saturday Nov. 5, 2005, having been filmed in the Spanish region of Andalusia, mostly in the cities of Granada, Cordoba, and the Moroccan city of Fes in Africa.

The era ended with the Reconquista ("reconquest") during which Catholic authorities burned over 1,000,000 Arabic texts of wisdom, math, history, religion, and architecture. More

Latin Crypto-Jews: Conversos (video)

Explainers, Jewish Unpacked, 2/10/20; Sheldon S., Crystal Q. (eds.), Wisdom Quarterly

 

Conversos: The Story of Latin America's Crypto Jews | Unpacked

(Unpacked) This week's explainer is unpacking the story of the Crypto Jews or Conversos (Spanish forced "Converts") and explaining why a surprising number of Latin Americans and people of Latin American descent have some Jewish ancestry.

 

No, it actually comes from Vedic/Hindu India.

To understand why, let’s go back in time, all the way back to 1492 [the alleged year Jewish Columbus "discovered" the Caribbean without ever setting foot on the mainland].

That’s the year in which two huge historical events took place -- events that shook up the Jewish community of Spain and changed the trajectory of their history forever.

Hey, Dontell, that sounds pro-white and racist!

This week’s explainer unpacks those events, explains why some Latin American families have traditions that are markedly different to those of their neighbors [who were mainly forced into converting to Catholicism, not from Judaism but from pantheism and other Indigenous spiritual traditions].

It also looks at why the numbers of people taking up an offer of citizenship from the Spanish government has been bigger than anyone could have imagined.

• Crypto-Jews in New Mexico, USA?
• "The Story of the Jews" (companion piece): NMiF Producer Megan Kamerick focuses on the experience of conversos or "crypto-Jews" in New Mexico. In 1492, the Edict of Expulsion launched the diaspora of Sephardic Jews from Spain [and this included the throwing out of Christopher Columbus who capitalized on the opportunity for the Crown by taking a few ships in search of plunder and slaves]. Many found their way to the New World, including New Mexico, USA, although they could not openly practice their religion, but they could be Catholics. Dr. Frances Levine, director of the New Mexico History Museum, and historian Roger Martínez-Dávila flesh out the history of these people and their role in New Mexico heritage and identity. Sonya Loya, an artisan and educator who has recovered her family's secret Jewish past, discusses her personal journey and conversion to Judaism.

Crypto-Jews, Sephardic Jews of Spain

JewishUnpacked.com; Sheldon S., Ashley Wells (eds.), Wisdom Quarterly

Why did Spain expel Sephardic Jewry in 1492?

Lies my Teacher Told Me (J. Loewen)

(Unpacked) March 1, 2023. [Criminal Christopher Columbus was a Jew expelled in 1492, a Converso out to torture, enslave, and pillage the new world to manage his debts, cheat his crew, and rape his way back into the graces of a European crown.]

How can a government apologize for an atrocity? In 2015, the Spanish and Portuguese governments began accepting applications from the descendants of the Jews once forcibly converted, massacred, and expelled from the Iberian Peninsula.

AOC is a Crypto-Jew, Converso, Anusim?

But why offer citizenship? Why not leave the past in the past? Because Sephardic Jews still carry the memory and the legacy of the centuries of vibrant Jewish life in Spain. This video honors the astonishing resilience of a community that refused to be destroyed.
