Aztec Massacre
Posted: April 13th, 2008

A grisly discovery of more than 400 mutilated bodies in Mexico is turning history on its head. Aztec Massacre paints a new picture of the violent relations between the Aztecs and the Conquistadors and rewrites much of what we thought we knew about the Aztec civilization.

A Firefly Production for Thirteen/WNET New York and ITVS International in association with Five, Channel Four International and History Channel (UK).

Not for those who can’t face reality without the comforting filter of political correctness. Human sacrifice and ritualistic cannibalism were part of the story. Are we to ignore it because chauvinisitic ethnocentrists can’t deal with the truth?

DId the Auschwit’s jew episode program had mariachi music in it? Then why did merengue was played on most of this episode in the program. Let us be consistent to the TRUTH. Would not be very kosher if you put mariachi music in a jewish holocaust episode would it?

y must they ALWAYS focus on this part of my ancestors? they glorify what and how many my ancestors killed in self-defense but yet u never hear about the spanish burning hundreds of books on our culture, how they justified their conquest by using religion, and how much GOLD THEY STOLED!!!

This is not about changing Channels, if you don’t like what you see, But it is about the dignity of a people! SO it is our right to correct inacuracies about OUR story! because HIStory is euro-centric and inaccurate!

LIES! the story of Indigenous people, continue to be told through the eyes, and mentality of the invaders, and real killers of many indigenous nations. It is said, that when the spanish arrived to ANAHUAK it set Humanity back 500 years.. Poorly done!Historically Inaccurate!
