The biggest things about their mythology and warriors are probably the blood sacrifices and jaguar warriors.

Blood sacrifices were mandatory since in their beliefs the gods were not immortal and in need of blood (which was a way to transport the soul) to live longer. They shoved hooks into their dicks to get into a pain-induced trance and collected the blood on paper. This paper they burned and the smoke which got red from all the blood was to them mystical soul energy flying to the gods.

Jaguar warriors are a good example of their selection rituals. They threw their kids into the jungle to survive and if they brought back the pelt of a jaguar they would wear them and be one if their aspect. (Pretty much the same stuff as with berserkers).

Basically an Alt-Universe where Sitting Bull's Spirit Dance works and America is 100% purely for Americans. His grandson fucks up the spell because he wants to get his dick wet and the Thunder bird tells him to get his shit together and fix what he broke.

There are other series that feature them. Mitton's Quetzalcoatl is pretty great if you're into misery porn and RAPERAPERAPERAPERAPE and the Dutch "The Indians"-series is 2real4WASPs as it features historically accurate characters, like African slave soldiers that fought alongside their spanish masters in some numbers and Americans more or less hiring Cortez' motley crew of Spaniards to attain their own political ends.

>>52176185

And then they were all slaughtered by vastly superior Spanish military technology and the survivors saw the sun rise without a single human sacrifice.

Imagine if the Vikings had stayed in the Americas for long enough to give the Native Americans a fighting chance against Old World diseases.

The Spanish wouldn't have been able to crush the Aztecs so fast, thus leading to interest of factions hostile to the Spanish trading with the Aztecs... You could have Aztec Reconstructivist rebels armed with Dutch guns, weapons, armour and cannons fighting against the Spanish in the Americas while the Dutch themselves fight the Spanish in their homeland.

Maybe that's just my Dutch boner for seeing the Spanish suffer, but that sounds pretty cool.

>The Spanish wouldn't have been able to crush the Aztecs so fast

The Spaniards were part of a pretty vast war everybody initiated against the Aztecs. Natives outnumbered them I think something like a thousand to one in that conflict.

The Aztecs were crushed under the weight of everybody in the region wantig them dead and the Spaniards basically found a comfortable corpse of an Empire they could slip into afterwards. Something that awkwardly fit the way they were trying to get their money's worth out of native communities.

Situation isn't that different from the Roman conquest of Gauls - the region had constituted itself into kingdoms that were organized enough to be made vassal states, which is why conquest and control was possible for Caesar and others. We see them not doing so great in places that had less political organization than that.

>>52178340

That is a false equivalency, there is a *big* difference between the individualistic enlightenment values (such as equality of opportunity, individual liberty, an emphasis upon personal responsibility, etc.) which were enshrined into our founding documents (namely Thomas Jefferson's Declaration of Independence and the works by Thomas Paine) and the set of collectivist notions--such as that found in the works of G. W. F. Hegel, Karl Marx, and most of Postmodernism. The former has substantially improved not only our lot in life but also enables one to accept that we are are all, ultimately, individuals regardless of irrelevant demographic factors. The latter, on the other hand, has only proved to drag us back into more barbaric modes of viewing each other & society at best and led to mass death & suffering at worse (i.e. communism and national socialism)--this being the reason why SJW types are also called "regressives." Furthermore, why we had a civil war cannot be reduced to one single issue.

Anon, the US had a war over how 2correctly white supremacy (with or without nonwhite slaves) and the "Pure white nation coast to coast"-faction only lost on their core issue because the Negros ran off on their own and the North had already been unwilling to shoulder their share of the financial, political and social cost of maintaining the nation's slavery-based economy before the war.

Aztecs are a really fascinating culture because they're basically just dirty nomads that settled on a lake and decided to get really good at war

>>52174014
Oh, I'm not really hating on them much because it actually makes quite a bit of sense in their mythology.

The Aztecs believe that the Sun, Moon, and Earth were all created from the actual living flesh of the gods (fun fact: The reason the Moon has so many craters is because the God who sacrificed himself to make it had horrible acne).

As all men of learning know, living things die. While the Gods themselves exist outside of time and can never truly die (unless killed by another god) when they cast off a part of them, such as when they made the world, it loses its immortality and becomes "mortal." This means that it will eventually rot and die.

The only way to keep it alive, of course, is to keep its vital blood flowing. The problem, of course, is that no blood runs through flesh not attached to a body.

As such, the only way to stop the world from falling apart is to contantly replenish the Earth, Sun, and Moon with fresh blood, that it might continue to live. Any man, woman, or infant of honor would naturally be willing to offer up their own flesh, as a gesture of appreciation for the sacrifice of the Gods. Tit for Tat.

Quite a reasonable request, really.

>>52177231
>I don't know Mesoamerican history, the post

The reason the Aztecs fell was not because of Spanish guns (which the Aztecs quickly learned weren't actually all that dangerous if you hit the ground before they fired) or steel (though it really, really helped) but because Cortez was a master of diplomacy and managed to weave an army of other Mesoamerican tribes, each of whom hated the Aztecs with a passion that would extinguish the sun if it were possible. This army numbered in the tens and quite possibly hundreds of thousands, all of whom were familiar with the land and methods of war the Aztecs waged. Even then, the Aztecs would have completely and totally annihilated the Spanish as they fled Tenochtitlan had the Aztec generals not lost control of their army as it went on a mass looting and enslaving spree (which is a probably that is hardly unique to Mesoamericans) and allowed Cortez to escape with a fraction of his army. From there, plague did the rest.

The Aztecs also admitted that Cortez was hard as fuck, and openly admitted his great skill in combat. Cortez routinely rallied his Spanish and allied forces personally and would fight in the thickest parts of the battle to inspire his men to turn the tide.

The Aztecs lamented that they lost their empire, but at the same time they did not blame the Spanish for doing what they did - after all, the Aztecs would have done exactly the same thing had their positions been switched.

Mongols yes, but the Persians developed a pretty extensive culture to go along with their warmachine. Both the Aztechs and Mongols stole a lot of their culture from surrounding cultures. The mongols adopted a lot of chinese ways the Aztechs stole a bunch from precurser empires. This was because instead of developing culture, the Mongols and Aztecs learned to raid and decimate

>>52178500
It was waaay more than that. Tlaxcala (Or was it Tarasca?) alone provided over 20,000 men to fight the Aztecs, and they were one of many different tribes that contributed manpower to the fight.

>>52180180
Classical Nahuatl, it's a very, very nice language for poetry.
They ended up with a very interesting warrior poet tradition that would go great in something like 40k. Like they literally doubt their own afterlife concepts and resolve to fight anyways.
