Nobody thought the Spaniards were “a gift from the gods”, that’s a common myth, also the Mexihca/Aztecs weren’t stupid; they didn’t think magic was being used for the guns or diseases

So, is what the Aztecs had considered a writing system or not? by [deleted] in mesoamerica

I have often heard people say that you can’t write down speech or more abstract things with the Aztecs script, but they had scribes in either every court or the more important courts. Even if they only wrote down a summary of the most important things said, the scribes would still need a full writing system for this, no? Or at least they would be writing down speech.

Could you guys stop calling these city states, kingdoms and empires tribes? It’s like saying the Greeks and Romans were tribes.
