did you knew mormons tried to hijack an historic character named Cē Ācatl Topiltzin Quetzalcoatl born in the X century to try to undermine the actual Quetzalcoatl god at least 4 milenia old?
Carter Price
I do think that symbolized the defeat of Quetzalcoatl.
Leo Lopez
did you knew the cult of the Holy Death is literally an uninterrupted continuation of the cult of Mictlantecuhtli
Landon Foster
probably the intention
as its stands its an alegued fight of evil vs good
but in the real world the snake CAN win
Sebastian Adams
Like la virgen de Guadalupe and Juan Diego.
Tyler Cruz
yea
Ryan Wilson
that would make Mictlantecuhtli and undefeated god
Grayson Campbell
yea

So in "the original" the eagle just sit on a cactus? That's not even special. Spanish improved on it and made it a cool eagle that eats a snake. Thank mama spain.
Charles Thomas
This is the original. The fire-water symbol represents war.
Joseph Cook
The myth itself isn't made up by the Spaniards. They just confused the topoglyph representing the water/fire duality with a snake.
Isaac Adams
>fire-water duality
Literal video game logic, looks like the Spanish improved on it even more.
Camden Rogers
Austin Gomez
People don't really know what it means other than to represent war, since the Spaniards destroyed everything. The duality part is a supposition.
Kayden Cox
i know
they also tried to make it "christ like"
lol
Jace Evans
Liam Turner
Also >as its stands its an alegued fight of evil vs good
That's basically the same video game tier logic.
Matthew Ward
Chase Wood
this but worse actually
at least fire and water are real, not made up
Jack Lee
Good and evil really are opposite. Fire and water aren't opposite except in video game.

Should the Mexican government change the flag so the eagle is actually holding the magical water-fire medals (yet to collect the grass medal to round out his starter trio)?
Adam Moore
Christopher Nelson
i think we need a whole new flag since tenochtitlan no longer exists and its glory is death
i advocate for quetzalcoatl eating a man
Matthew Howard
Parker Clark
Isn't Mexico city the same as tenochtitlan just modern version? I thought its basically in the same place etc.

Connor Butler
but its no where as pretty and glorious as it was

Doubtful. You can't idealize the past, modern Mexicans live better than the greatest Aztec emperors. (Internet, smartphone, microwaves, etc etc etc). Take Aztec warrior or emperor and plop them in modern Mexico City they will cry tears of pure joy.
Samuel Howard
Asher Reyes
Ryder Stewart
i am not idealizing anything
thats why i recognize tenochtitlan is death and mexico city just isnt worthy
thus our flag shouldnt be it
i advocate for quetzalcoatl eating a man
more apropiate

i wonder what was native american's concept of beauty was before europeans came
Thomas Cox
Short-term advantages. No long-term vision at all.
Benjamin Green
Julian Peterson
who cares lol
stop chicano studies

beauty doesnt need interpretation
Josiah Richardson
Fact: Aztecs were a lost Bulgar tribe
Nathan Jones
Ryder Reyes
Christopher Torres
absolutely no interpretation
for the same reason thats how one knows the aztec culture was prettier that whatever currently exists not only in mexico, but the americas (not going further)

Your used the image of Mayan Kukulkan, not Aztec Quetzalcoatl.
Jack Gutierrez
i don't understand your comment
i mean what beauty standards did they have when it comes to people, not their art
John Martin
Mormons didn't exist until the 1800s
Isaac Williams
>for the same reason thats how one knows the aztec culture was prettier that whatever currently exists not only in mexico, but the americas (not going further)
por la misma razón es como uno sabe que la cultura azteca era mas hermosa que cualquier otra que hoy existe en este continente
Hunter Phillips
precisely
ever heard of the history of the "quetzalcoatl" expulsion, its this guy Cē Ācatl Topiltzin Quetzalcoatl
the feathered serpant is a 4 milenia old god and for him plenty of humans were sacrificed
Ryan Cruz
ya callate
Brandon Martinez
es la verdad
Cameron Ross
mira lo que estos hombres libres construyeron
compraralo con lo que los hombres "nacidos en libertad" han construido
Blake Flores
Even as a half Mexican mutt, I'm pretty sure Joseph Smith never believed in that
Luis Cook
y no solo hablo del mexicano moderno
Jose Taylor
que tiene que ver eso con que esten feos?
Nathan Taylor
don't share this opinion
Gabriel Lee
so he made it up?
or what are you saying
because thats what his holy book says
and thats the retoric they pushed
Jack Martin
why not?
Andrew Johnson
what is the other half and from which part
Angel Watson

David Morris
>Even as a half Mexican mutt
how is this relevant?
Hudson Miller
Um, I'm also a quarter German
Nathan Hall
i don't see how their art was more beautiful than other pre-contact civilizations and, and i think all of them had their own beautiful things and i don't see the need to put one over the others
Ryder Wright
didnt compared it with other old civilizations
but our current one
Jacob White
you are right
aparently only a substet of mormons actually believe that
but they still push in the name of collective
Luke Roberts
Maybe the cactus represents the grass-type starter. The eagle is that gen's legendary mon.
