I'm old enough to remember when both Mexica and Canada sent firefighters to LA to help.

Funerary urn with the Mexica god Tezcatlipoca. It was manufactured in a region near Toluca, Estado de Mexico, 1400–1521CE. Son of the creator couple Ometecuhtli and Omecihuatl, Tezcatlipoca was one of the most venerated gods in the Mexica pantheon. He embodied the duality between life and death.

Life-size terracotta Eagle Warrior from Tenochtitlan (in modern day Mexico City) 1440–1469 CE. It honors the elite Mexica soldiers who wore avian gear into combat. The Mexica (Aztec) military was a strict meritocracy where social advancement depended entirely on capturing enemies for sacrifice.

Dangerously close to a cringe opinion on the Gulf of Mexico thing, which is that "Mexico" honors the ancient Mexica people and "America" honors an Italian guy who went to Brazil once.

AOC's response to images of people waving Mexica flags in the LA protests.
aoc.bsky.social Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez @aoc.bsky.social · Jun 11
I will be damned if I allow a bunch of Confederate-waving January 6th apologists give the American people a lecture on flag waving.

There is ZERO reason to enter an argument about patriotism with people who still worship traitors to America 150+ years later.

They. Are. Breaking. The. Law.

Tlaloc, (Nahuatl: "He Who Makes Things Sprout") Aztec rain god.

#art #sculpture #pottery #vase #tlaloc #aztec #mexica #cdmx #mexico #mesoamerica #precolumbian #ancientart #ancientpottery #prehispanic
Polychrome Aztec pottery vase depicting Tlaloc, god of rain. Ceramic pot modeled with a high relief figurehead of the face of Tlaloc, the god of rain. The Mexica conceived it as consisting of two snakes that intertwined at the nose and brought their heads together facing each other where the mouth is located. In this case, these snakes can be seen through the bands with vertical lines and alternating circles that are found over the eyebrows, eyes, nose and around the mouth. It was located in Offering 21 of the Main Temple and housed inside several mother-of-pearl shells and green stone beads, the latter as symbols of water. It belongs to Stage IV (1440- 1469). (Thanks to Nostalghia Mistica) Tlaloc, (Nahuatl: "He Who Makes Things Sprout") Aztec rain god. Representations of a rain god wearing a peculiar mask, with large round eyes and long fangs, date at least to the Teotihuacán culture of the highlands (3rd to 8th century AD).

Arguing about who is truly English while AI leeches into our lives is like the Mexica having a furious debate over a minor doctrinal issue while Cortes limbers up on the beach.
