Most mythology is really, really weird. It's not like sensible myths = dominant culture in the modern era.

youtube.com/watch?v=WA_oqFRZWAk

why is it so hard to find cool mayincaztec cities, characters, interiors, etc when there are THOUSANDS of ancient greek, roman, babylonian, japanese, persian, etc etc ancient inspiration and illustrations

you'd think because we know less about the americans than the other ancient civs, people would be more imaginative, and create mayaincaztec fantasy worlds, but no...

Somebody screencap this shit, this is gold

...

You are a gentleman and a scholar, good sir

No prob, Bob.

Now post something Inca/aztec/mayan in payment, Or I shall Screencap your next greatest hummiliation.

I believe that this will suffice.

Holy shit that death whistle is amazing, thanks for sharing

Maybe some NPCs here?

Reminder that in four days the reconsecration of the Great Pyramid at Tenochtitlan resulted in upwards of eighty thousand sacrifices.

That's around fourteen kills per minute.

All Aztec records are unreliable as they are written to masturbate the chronicler and king after they die.

>spawning by a natural wonder as aztecs

The biggest things about their mythology and warriors are probably the blood sacrifices and jaguar warriors.

Blood sacrifices were mandatory since in their beliefs the gods were not immortal and in need of blood (which was a way to transport the soul) to live longer. They shoved hooks into their dicks to get into a pain-induced trance and collected the blood on paper. This paper they burned and the smoke which got red from all the blood was to them mystical soul energy flying to the gods.

Jaguar warriors are a good example of their selection rituals. They threw their kids into the jungle to survive and if they brought back the pelt of a jaguar they would wear them and be one if their aspect. (Pretty much the same stuff as with berserkers).

Don't forget that they were deforesting their lands on par with the Europeans. And they weren't even building ocean-sailing boats yet. They really were an industrious people.

Check Thorgal comics.

Specific, to make your search easier, look for The land of Qâ

Is that really all that different from modern religion/philosophies/politics that earnestly believe that too much/little of something in the world/society will cause it to wither and die?
Too much greenhouse gas, too many free-loading/"degenerate" "others", too much united government, too much male/female dominance.
Freedom/purity/holiness isn't free, gotta water the tree with the blood of patriots and people in some far off land, combatants or innocents. Some people deserve to starve and die from treatable illness, if you just hand them everything they'll never learn and it'll unbalance the cosmic scale of "fairness" and challenge god's will.

What comic is this?

The Swords of Glass. The Dance of Time is a lot more fucking insane though.

The Dance of Time.

Basically an Alt-Universe where Sitting Bull's Spirit Dance works and America is 100% purely for Americans. His grandson fucks up the spell because he wants to get his dick wet and the Thunder bird tells him to get his shit together and fix what he broke.

There are other series that feature them. Mitton's Quetzalcoatl is pretty great if you're into misery porn and RAPERAPERAPERAPERAPE and the Dutch "The Indians"-series is 2real4WASPs as it features historically accurate characters, like African slave soldiers that fought alongside their spanish masters in some numbers and Americans more or less hiring Cortez' motley crew of Spaniards to attain their own political ends.

And then they were all slaughtered by vastly superior Spanish military technology and the survivors saw the sun rise without a single human sacrifice.

*Survivors saw, in their last dying breath, ...

>and the survivors saw the sun rise without a single human sacrifice.

The Spaniards killed people all day erry day, so the sun wasn't going to languish under their regime.

Also the last American resistance in central and south America was only broken around the time of the massacre at Wounded Knee.

But I know, I shouldn't bring facts into a discussion that's about white Anglo-Saxon fragility...

Sugestions on where to look?

Fascinating, thanks for that info.


"But I know, I shouldn't bring facts into a discussion that's about white Anglo-Saxon fragility..."
>I think I found an SJW

If that is true, then I hope we can agree to disagree about the absurd concept of "Social justice" and identity politics; I don't want to waste my time with crazy.

maybe he is south american, we weren't all killed...

To be fair that should be "Defeated by disease and local auxilia who allied with the Spanish and formed the vast vast majority of the army that defeated the Aztecs."

He still sounds like an SJW. But if he does not subscribe to that madness, he could still learn to take a joke. I'm not from Spain either (in fact, my county got them to give up control over an island in a war).

Good point.

*country.

Imagine if the Vikings had stayed in the Americas for long enough to give the Native Americans a fighting chance against Old World diseases.

The Spanish wouldn't have been able to crush the Aztecs so fast, thus leading to interest of factions hostile to the Spanish trading with the Aztecs... You could have Aztec Reconstructivist rebels armed with Dutch guns, weapons, armour and cannons fighting against the Spanish in the Americas while the Dutch themselves fight the Spanish in their homeland.

Maybe that's just my Dutch boner for seeing the Spanish suffer, but that sounds pretty cool.

>If that is true, then I hope we can agree to disagree about the absurd concept of "Social justice" and identity politics

They're real enough for the US to have had a civil war over them.

How many additional soldiers was it? If i remember in the actual records the conquistadors kept it was sometimes over 10,000 additional troops

...

>The Spanish wouldn't have been able to crush the Aztecs so fast

The Spaniards were part of a pretty vast war everybody initiated against the Aztecs. Natives outnumbered them I think something like a thousand to one in that conflict.

The Aztecs were crushed under the weight of everybody in the region wantig them dead and the Spaniards basically found a comfortable corpse of an Empire they could slip into afterwards. Something that awkwardly fit the way they were trying to get their money's worth out of native communities.

Situation isn't that different from the Roman conquest of Gauls - the region had constituted itself into kingdoms that were organized enough to be made vassal states, which is why conquest and control was possible for Caesar and others. We see them not doing so great in places that had less political organization than that.

That is a false equivalency, there is a *big* difference between the individualistic enlightenment values (such as equality of opportunity, individual liberty, an emphasis upon personal responsibility, etc.) which were enshrined into our founding documents (namely Thomas Jefferson's Declaration of Independence and the works by Thomas Paine) and the set of collectivist notions--such as that found in the works of G. W. F. Hegel, Karl Marx, and most of Postmodernism. The former has substantially improved not only our lot in life but also enables one to accept that we are are all, ultimately, individuals regardless of irrelevant demographic factors. The latter, on the other hand, has only proved to drag us back into more barbaric modes of viewing each other & society at best and led to mass death & suffering at worse (i.e. communism and national socialism)--this being the reason why SJW types are also called "regressives." Furthermore, why we had a civil war cannot be reduced to one single issue.

That would make for an interesting GURPS Many Worlds campaign.

Got one for Aztecs?

What does the American Civil War even have to do with SJWs or communism?

I know that the game this image is from involves fantasy but it none-the-less leaves me intrigued by a scifi take on mythology and religion. For example, see the game "Too Human" for scifi Norse Mythology or "The Lord of Light" novel (en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lord_of_Light) which gives a scifi spin to Hinduism and Buddhism. How do you guys think this mythology might be best set in a science fiction setting?

Exactly, he made a false equivalency.

>Furthermore, why we had a civil war cannot be reduced to one single issue.

user, the US had a war over how 2correctly white supremacy (with or without nonwhite slaves) and the "Pure white nation coast to coast"-faction only lost on their core issue because the Negros ran off on their own and the North had already been unwilling to shoulder their share of the financial, political and social cost of maintaining the nation's slavery-based economy before the war.

>the US had a war over how 2correctly white supremacy
>white supremacy

Drank too much kool aid at a liberal arts college I see.

It doesn't take an sjw to think that all the proud willful ignorance of historical facts with a general spirit of "lol silly savages can't do anything against muh infinitely superior culture" might be suggestive of some sort of deep-seated insecurity that someone is trying to make up for.
