And some of our soldiers even asked whether the things that we saw were not a dream? (...) I do not know how to describe it, seeing things as we did that had never been heard of or seen before, not even dreamed about.” —Bernal Díaz del Castillo, The Conquest of New Spain "Some of the conquistadores had travelled as widely as Venice and Istanbul, and many said that Tenochtitlan was as large and fine a city as any they had seen." it's still amazing how technologically advanced they were, this city had more public works services going on than worcester does. free prostitution also. the human sacrifices were vast but often times exaggerated - it was part of their culture, they sacrificed prisoners, criminals, and to many of them including their warriors, it was the highest honor. interesting to see how far they would have advanced if they managed to fight off the spaniards. but then the brits/americans would have got them 200 years later...that is, if they possibly stood a chance against what would have been the greatest warriors in the world at the time. what stands there now? one of the biggest trash heaps in the world.
