Показать описание
Aztec art is amazing, but after hundreds of years, their colors have faded. This video will show what these amazing artworks looked like in their original color and provide you with an understanding of each piece, enhancing your knowledge of Aztec (Mexica) art, history, and religion. Every piece has deep religious meanings. This is the art of Mexico-Tenochtitlan.

Please explore the many other videos I have that will teach you about Aztec, Teotihuacan, the Maya, the First Americans, Mesoamericans, and other Mexican and Latin American History. Videos are as short as 10 seconds to much longer.

Thank you so very much for watching. Please leave a comment.

Note: one of the art pieces shows a woman's chest.

Really interesting and beautiful. History was full of color, but today we only get to see the dull gray/white remnants of the past. It would be nice to see other historic cultures being colored in also. I think it would change our perspective on those cultures a lot. So thank you for doing this.

with all the snake imagery it’s no wonder conquistadors we’re able to demonize aztec culture, , , crazy how much more preserved art and culture we could’ve still had if it weren’t destroyed and stuff
