I was a priest in the city-state era

Chapter 604 Aztecs and Nahuas

The New World Expeditionary Force of the Athenian Empire had only 1 people.

Not to mention controlling the huge area of ​​4000 to 52 million square kilometers in the New World, this force cannot even control the area of ​​[-] square kilometers in Central America.

But after the millions of Mayans became citizens of the Athenian Empire, the Athenian Empire could at least recruit [-] soldiers from the [-] Mayans as the cornerstone of the Athenian Empire's expansion in the New World.

1596 BC.

September.

Roy led an attack on the Olmecs in Mexico with [-] Mayan soldiers equipped with iron weapons.

The Olmecs who worshiped the god of thunder, Tezcatlipoca, were the true aborigines of the New World and the original overlords of Central America.

After the Mayans who worshiped the Feathered Serpent God came to the New World, relying on the advanced civilization and technology of the Neolithic Age, they attacked the Olmecs in the Paleolithic Age and took away the throne of the Central American overlord.

But the Olmecs were not willing to fail, and the god of thunder Tezcatlipoca did not accept the fact that he lost to the Feathered Serpent.

After learning Neolithic technology from the Mayans, the Olmecs began to aggressively counterattack the Mayans.

Because both sides were in the Neolithic Age, the Mayans no longer had the advantage of advanced weapons, so the war between the Mayans and the Olmecs became mutually exclusive.

This is the realistic prototype of the Feathered Serpent God who defeated Tescatlipoca three times in Aztec mythology and was overthrown by Tescatlipoca three times.

In the end, the Aztecs went south from the north and conquered the Olmecs, who were both defeated by the Mayans, ending the war between the Mayans and the Olmecs that lasted for thousands of years.

Mexico region.

After the Mayan soldiers of the Athenian Empire launched an invasion of the Olmec territory, the results were self-evident.

Olmec soldiers with stone and wooden spears were vulnerable to Mayan soldiers with iron weapons.

The Mayan soldiers turned the territory of the Olmecs into the territory of the Athenian Empire like a flood flooding the valley.

Lake Tracopan.

Because of the precious water resources, it has become an area where a large number of Olmec tribes live.

In order to prevent the invasion of the Mayans, the Olmecs formed an allied force on the shores of Lake Tracopan.

It's a pity that the Olmec's numerical advantage cannot resist the blow of dimensionality reduction.

The Battle of Tracopan begins.

The Olmec coalition army, which has a numerical advantage, is still vulnerable to the Mayan soldiers.

At the same time as the war between humans, Tezcatlipoca, the god of thunder worshiped by the Olmecs, also waged a war of gods with Persephone.

The strength of Tezcatlipoca is not as good as that of Feathered Serpent.

Facing Persephone, who was stronger than Feathered Serpent, Tezcatlipoca was killed by Persephone's scythe in the first round.

The Mayan army of the Athens Empire pushed all the way, and soon all the territories of the Olmecs were included in the territory of the Athens Empire.

After conquering the Olmecs, Roy led the Mayan army north to the Texcoco Lake area.

Lake Texcoco means Moon Lake.

The Nahua people living in the east of Lake Texcoko are the ethnic group that worships the moon goddess Koyoshak.

The Aztecs, who worshiped the god of war, Weizilopochtli, lived on the north side of Lake Texcoco.

In the history of another world, the capital of the Aztec Empire and the capital of Mexico were built on the two islands in Lake Texcoco.

The Aztecs were not native to the Valley of Mexico.

Due to their warlike nature, they constantly harass the neighboring tribes, making their neighbors angry.

So they joined forces for a crusade.

As a result of the war, the Aztecs were defeated, most of them were captured, and a small number of them fled to the island.

The captured Aztecs were taken to Kurhuacan, a dynasty formed by descendants of the Toltecs, and lived under the watchful eyes of Cox Cox, the chieftain of Kurhuacan.

Later, his reputation skyrocketed due to his service in a battle of Culhuakan.

Around 1325 AD, these Aztecs moved to live on a small island in Lake Texcoco, where they joined those who had fled here before.

The small island later developed into the city of Tenochtitlan, the capital of the Aztec Empire and Mexico.

In Aztec mythology, they described themselves as victims.

As the Aztecs migrated south, they were not welcomed by the people along the way.

Sometimes they can only work for the local people as cheap labor, serfs or slaves.

After crossing a long area and going through several tribal conflicts, the Nahua people who worshiped the moon goddess finally agreed to take them in.

However, they only gave the Aztecs a very poor land, full of volcanic rocks and full of deadly snakes and scorpions.

On the contrary, the Aztecs preyed on the snakes and scorpions on the ground, and lived tenaciously there.

The aborigines finally saw their bravery and agreed to take them in as mercenaries.

At this time, Wizilopochtry asked them not to be at the mercy of others, but to rise up and resist.

They finally killed the chief's daughter, and held the first [New Fire Ceremony] in the migration-the use of fire sacrifices to dedicate the chief's daughter to the god of war and hunting, Weizilopochtli.

The angry chief led the army and drove the Aztecs out to a small island in the lake.

Just when the Aztecs were about to despair, perhaps they had finally passed the test of Witzilopochtri, they saw an eagle perched on a cactus with a snake under its talons.

The eagle kept screaming, while biting the snake under its claws to pieces.

This is exactly what Witzilopochtry has revealed.

The gods instructed them that they would thrive here, that they would conquer all other tribes and establish a powerful empire of their own.

In Witzilopochtry mythology, his birth was accompanied by his death.

Legend has it that in the south of the Sierra Madre Oriental, there lived a Nahua tribe.

The female chieftain of the tribe is the goddess of the earth [Feathered Serpent God]. She first gave birth to the eldest daughter Koyoshak, the goddess of the moon, and then swore to be chaste.

However, one day, a ball made of feathers suddenly fell from the sky and fell into the arms of Feathered Serpent God, and then disappeared with a bang.

Feathered Serpent thus became pregnant with Vitzilopochtri.

The moon goddess Koyoshak was very angry when she learned that her mother was pregnant. She thought her mother had violated her oath and decided to kill her.

When Koyoshak was about to make a move, Wizilopochtri jumped out of his mother's womb, and when he landed, he was fully armed and an adult.

Holding Shih Kvatl [Fire Serpent Sword], he first cut off Koyoshak's limbs and threw him off the top of the mountain.

He cut off her head and threw it into the sky, where it became the moon.

The migration myth of the Aztecs is exactly the same as the birth myth of Witzilopochtri.

The Nahuas accepted the Aztecs who went south, corresponding to Witzilopochtri as the child of Feathered Serpent.

The Aztecs killed the daughter of the chieftain, which corresponds to the killing of the daughter of the chieftain Feathered Serpent by Wizilopochtli, the moon goddess Koyoshak.

In other words, the killing of the chief's daughter by the Aztecs is the realistic prototype of Wizilopochtri's killing of the moon goddess Koyoshak.
