Spaniards destroyed Tenochtitlan and drained the lake Texcoco ;(

Bruh, irrigation doesn't stop flooding

I'm pretty sure reading it was flooding in aztec days, but you can google that yourself.

First I drain you lakes then your ladies drain my balls

and then you lose your empire because it's made up off larping rapebabies

Spaniards were even more idiotic, settle the capital of the colony in a place where floods are common.

You did the right thing back in the day

You were lazy retard fuckers who doesn't wanted to maintain the dykes.

Its your fault for being biologically weak and die for millions, there was no manpower to maintain the levees, and the result is that there was flooding every so often, killing more people, and disabling adjacent agricultural fields because the water of those lakes was SALAD

You lost a war vs México lol

It's an extremely fertile region, tropics were full of mosquitos and illness until modern science.

Would island CDMX even be possible in modern times. I mean you would have to run sewage systems, roads, electricity, comms, and have substrate base that won't sink into the water.

They could've moved the capital to the eastern lands, where their indigenous allies lived. or in other volcanic plateau where soil was fertile and rains were also common but natural drainage prevented floods.

Aztecs eat the mosquitoes, protein shortage my foot.

>be injun
>build a city on fucking water

what made them so much more advanced?

>it is another "mestizo thinks he is an aztec" episode

>Spaniards
Actually it was your ancestors not mine

They also ate humans

so they were also excellent at recycling

I don't know what makes americans so dumb

They did that in the stone ages

shouldn't have lost then haha

They were driven there by their neighbors because they were assholes since the moment they arrive to the Mexico valley, and started sacrificing people.

How many viceroys and peninsulares upperclass mofos stayed in New Spain?

and grasshoppers

They took that from the people already living there, it wasn't part of their culture before

Yes but not because of a shortage of protein.

That's ebatable

They have their own style, the neighbors didn’t take it so kindly

good post

Everyone in the region sacrificed, even the Mayans down south

That theory it’s not supported by any evidence beyond that the guy who came with it think he was clever.

They had a high maize diet which is why they were unhealthy

El mestizaje maligno

They have other important crops like amaranth, but were banned because the advanced europeans believe were satanic.

I mean before colonization. Their diets had also become more reliant on maize throughout the centuries.

Amaranth was an important crop to the aztecs before the conquest,, almost as important as corn, they also used chia seed and many varieties of beans and other vegetables. They eat fish and ducks from the lake, game, rabbits, turkeys and dogs.

Yeah but the majority of their diet was corn.......................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................

I don't think human sacrifice and cannibalism was due shortage of protein, they had access to meat like:

Snakes
Deers
Rabbits
Turkeys
Dogs
Frogs
Even Iguanas and monkeys
Fish
*Insects

They also ate vegetables, seeds and legumes, rich in lipids and proteins like:

Beans
Greenbeans
Chia seeds
Amaranth

so where is all the water?
did they build a massive dam? what if its blown up?

Yeah, the majority of their diet was accompanied by corn, mostly in form of tortillas and tamales, but the records say they were frugal in their meals, even the upper class, this was before modern sedentary life style. Do you have a source? because you only repeat the same thing and obviously ignore many things about the aztecs.

>monkeys

pozole de ozomatli

Cringe.

uma delicia

I unironically think that the conquest of America and the subsequent plagues and destruction of native american civilizations was the biggest tragedy in human history and that the resulting butterfly effect of native americans not being replaced in their homeland would've made a much better timeline than this one.

Axolotls are now extinct in the wild because the extremely small remains of those lakes are polluted to shit.

Thanks to fucking Manolo, the shittiest colonizers ever.

pretty disgusting place desu

Wrong, thanks to Manolos and then Mexicans. Stupid government and ignorant people are the worst combination possible.

Spain did not wrong

fuck am*ricans

>drained the lake Texcoco
how?

Dams, channels and tunnels

Why did they do this?

According to this gif, mexico city is failry new. Roughly around 70 years ago was when the city was completely full with buildings. How is it so run down and so shitty if it's a young city?

Earthquakes, shitty land, shitty architecture that didn’t account for the first two things

>The 15th century

>The stone age

According to this, in 1390 the inhabited islands already increased its size.

It is dumb to establish your capital city in a lake due to resources, logistics and defense, and don't want to affect the surrounding environment.

The aztec larpers are disgusting

Because back in Europe water-surrounded cities were unhealthy

Corruption, centralisation of services and mass uncontrolled migration to cities. Technically mexican's fault.

Texcoco's problem is:

23.000.000 Mexicans

23 Million Mexicans

Twenty three Millon Mexicans

If there were living 23 million Mexicans in my dick, my dick would look like modern day Mexico city

>stop larping rapebaby

But he wouldn't be larping if he were a rapebaby.

The capital would have ended up somewhere else if there had been no Spanish intervention.

Probably still near lake Texcoco but not in it.

good fucking riddance

you know what he ment rodriguez

And that's a good thing.

This; one of highest birthrates in world for a century coupled with unrestricted immigration to capital region lead to huge metropolis that kept expanded beyond the lake.

So instead of a cool Amsterdam we got Mexico fucking city.

Just a reminder that WE are the rapists and not the ones in Europe.

why do DEBUELBAN EL HORO faggots always conveniently forget this

What happens when you drop 23 Million Mexicans into designated area?
