Glad you have a resource to refute this colonial era drivel / brain rot.

It’s something that Frank Dibble talked about in the Rogan debate. (The entire situation was a shitshow, but I learned a lot from listening to him dribble Hancock around like a basketball, and Professor Dave/Miniminutemen’s coverage of it)

Aztec and Mayan history tends to attract a lot of bullshit (and tend to be treated as interchangeable 😔). The Spaniards burned so much of pre Colombian primary texts that most information is filtered through people who wanted to portray those people as stupid primitive murderous psychopaths to justify their own primitive murderous psychopathy.
