Steam Baths

Hey Veeky Forums I was wondering if any of you knew how the Aztec/ Mesoamerican steam bath worked? Also curious in general of bathing practices in Mesoamerica.

>not jessica rabbit
underage fag

No, I just don't go for freakish proportions or Kathleen Turner's husky voice.

That's hot, but not Aztec.

If only I could understand Somali

Plenty of ass in this Aztec story.

T H I C C lover

I respect that man

Four hands spans is pretty wide though.

>His love for T H I C C thots led to the demise of his kingdom

Good lad

Yeah no way injun girls are this qt, fit and firm-breasted irl. They're usually fat and floppy already in their teens.

>tfw i'll never have a big titie, perky bown nipple, four hand wide T H I C C Mesoamerican goddess

Why even live?

Bump

spot on

>Huemac then had sex with these sorceresses

this, jessic rabbit was bayonetta levels of unfappable due to how oversexualized she was

They ate alot of beans.

Why are you posting all these Morman women?

Mormon?

It is still in use in the highlands of Guatemala. It is called a temescal. I just built one. The native women use it twice a week. Here it is Wednesday and Saturday.

It is a small brick or adobe hut with a wood fired stove inside.

Hartman hips are the superior form of fap material so i have to agree

I fucking loved this series as a kid.

They were like that, at least until the Burgerstanis destroyed their culture and replaced their healthy natural diets with sloppy joes and cheez whiz.

So how is a typical steam bath? Like what occurs exactly.

What a magnificent life.

Mostly it is used by the women here. They are Kaqchiquel.
Pretty simple really. They build a fire in the stove and when it is hot enough, about 150F, they go inside. The stove heats up volcanic rocks. Usually the temescal is used dry, without steam. The women often will rub themselves with corn husks and sage.
After they sweat for a while, they leave the temescal and wash down with cool water.
I misspoke before, it is used Thursdays and Saturdays.
It is not ritualized. It is more of a social event. Like a Finnish sauna.
Here is an accurate description of what I have seen here in Guatemala.

This helps a lot thanks. It's for a comic scene I am working on.

Interesting. Good luck to you.

Oh man that's some nostalgic stuff right there.
I used to love those books as a kid.

Every race is fat and floppy if they eat like americans do.
Back then they didnt have fried food or sugar and they did manual labor all day.

They look the same in Mexico, Guatemala etc. Natives are just a repulsive, fat race.

Listen up dumbass, I know you don't realize these places now all have access to cheap calories just like first world nations, but if you think anyone except the rich could afford to be fat before the 20th century you need to stop posting in this board.

>anyone except the rich could afford to be fat
That's normiecore meme. Plenty of people were fat.

Back to r/bodyacceptance with you.

mommy

That's modern Guatemala after influence from American diets. It's the same in El Salvador people are fat there now too. But in the 80s and in the past people were generally fit if not starving. Precolumbian diets were pretty well balanced and lean.

No. To be fat you need to have access to abundance of food and have a sedentary lifestyle. It was an exception until recently.

pic related are Guatemalan Maya in the late 1800s.

this is now a /native/ thread, post your favorite natives and favorite pics/infro

And? What's your point?

That you are just writing bullshit.

That people were fit until relatively recently.

classic

Not exactly fat, but shapeless milkers and not altogether attractive like those miniatures. user might have a bit of a point there.

That first one looks comfy as fuck

Let's be honest here for a second. Are you and the other user arguing that "american natives" are, under all circumstances, fatter and uglier and have saggier tities than the other races?

None of you have a fucking clue. Out of shape my ass. Everyday men carry half a cord of wood on their backs up steep grades that would make a goat stumble. Women carry huge loads on their backs and on their heads. Small children carry sacks of cement, sand, or wood twice their weight.
And some pussy ass sitting in his basement jacking off 6 times a day says that they are out of shape.
Fucking rediculous

And that was exactly my point.

what is it that makes look so much less authentic than ?

i feel like it's probably the unnatural (European?) postures the artists put them in but also the clothes look like they a european tried to make an aztec costume from the materials available and familiar to him. the facial anatomy looks a little off as well.

Can someone please explain to me why south american indians are so fucking thicc?

To add to what said, here is a little 4-koma manga, which includes a link with pics and quotes that OP could find interesting.

English translation by the own author[spoiler]'s Google Translator[/spoiler] and slightly edited here:

"The 'temazcalli' is an Aztec steam bath".

"The fireplace".

"The sauna room".

"Water is added from outside".

[The ahuizotl throws water onto the hot wall, so it makes steam.]

Tlatoani: "Oh! Good job there".

[Killing intention manifests]

Little ahuizotl: Take that!

[Spalsh!!]

Little ahuizotl: "Bwaa! I am sorry, Cihuacoatl! I wanted to throw the water over the Tlatoani!".

Tlatoani: "I am so going to punish you later..."

And, if somebody wants to read more:

Close e damn nough.

Google for details, but basically Jesus went and lived in Mexico or somewhere for awhile, and true Christianity is born in the Americas.

Also you get to be a god with your own special planet when you die, which is a detail the Christians on the other side of the ocean somehow forgot.

Museum dioramas were also good.

>Huemac then had sex with these sorceresses

...

I remember when I was little my family'd go to Yucatan to visit my mom's relatives and we'd go with the village to drink cactus tea in a room like that with carpets hanging all over the walls and statues of saints. Apparently they are all catholics down there but I don't know anymore.

>cactus tea
¿Jugo de nopal?
Did you hallucinate?

>Apparently they are all catholics down there but I don't know anymore.
Many mayan villages have a syncretic rite but are technically catholic.

Love her comics.

good thread

Anybody knew other artist with a Mesoamerican fetish, this guys shit is preddy good

Jean Yves Mitton

Thanks, started doing some sketches. From one of the links, I added the corn husks. Not sure if this is how it would look though?

>I asked about the corn husks heaped around many of the baths. “The large ones are for tamales,” Jimenez explained. “And the smaller ones are used in the baths. You can either beat yourself with the husks – believe me, it feels good – or use them to cover your private parts when you walk about.”

the woman in the sketch is maya btw that's why she has cranial deformation.

>beat yourself
As in masturbate or hit yourself?

Another mention said massage so hit yourself most likely.

...

...

We really need more history buff porn artists, I need this, even if >
has to do it

Egyptian themed too where woman had their tits out all the time
nothing gives me a chub faster than buxom woman workers moving around with their bust casually flopping out as nothing more than cogs in the societal machine

Well I'm open for commissions for just about anything, except yaoi.

IRRC the first expeditions described them as incredibly beautiful.
Maybe pol is right about mongrels, which is what they are today.

In the nordic sauna it's not all uncommon to hit yourself or others with thin birch branches full with leaves, so I imagine that this might be the same thing.

Last pic looks like browner greeks

It looks pretty historically accurate though.
