The Aztec Eagle Warriors Explained | Ancient Black Ops
The Eagle Warriors were elite shock troops of the Aztec empire, known for their ruthless tactics and dedication to warfare. The Aztecs were skilled warriors, trained from infancy for battle. Their society was militarized, and they used unconventional tactics such as capturing prisoners for sacrifice rather than solely aiming to kill in battle. Central to Aztec religious beliefs, human sacrifice was conducted on a massive scale to appease the gods. The Eagle Warriors, equipped with obsidian-tipped weapons, specialized in capturing enemies alive for sacrifice. They were the elite forces of the Aztec army

Not gonna lie this is missing soo many key details to the story it’s unreal. For example the army that Cortez raised after the night of sorrow’s was literally a Tlaxcala army which were all native allies. There was many trie es in Mexico at the time and they all hated the Aztec’s because between all of them they gave 80k ppl to the Aztec’s for sacrifice a yr. so Cortez found many allies and took them down after peaceful cooperation didn’t work. The reason Montezuma didn’t resist cause he knew that Cortez was just the beginning of the white man so cooperation was the only way towards. The citizens of tenochtilan got small pox so quickly and easily due to the malnutrition they had when Cortez seized the city. He never wanted to siege it as he wanted to donate it to his majesty Carlos 1/ 5 of Germany as a gift as it was the most beautiful city in the world.
The ships seeing in the paining are actually ones he build during the yr before the siege. Ppl still arguing if they r the ships he sailed with ( after taking it apart) or he build new ones as his carpenter and boat builder survived all before carrying over fucking mounting’s with all arty and ammo.
Hmmm
They didn’t sacrifice 80k people a year, it’s been proven by the skull rack
True makes sense of how Austria was the kingdom of “Mexico” the first kingdom in Mexico 🇲🇽 🇦🇹
80k a year 😂 that would eliminate the entire population of Natives in 10 years! And the Aztecs ruled for about 200 years which according to those numbers would be 16,0000,0000 😂😂
Do they mention that flower wars were largely ritualized battles where they’d stop fighting once each side had gained enough prisoners for sacrifice? Not all battles were straight up conquest.
They should make a movie about what central and north america would have looked like if the natives never lost thier land. Would be really interesting
There's an AI video showing what México would be like now if Spaniards had lost.
It would be terrifying,like modern Africa.but on the other hand my great great grandfather had 4 wives so wouldn't be complaining about that.
so like a really really really long apocalypto
@@batcittyatcitty536 the only reason modern africa is what it is because europe pretty much bled africa dry. You're underestimating mesoamerica tecnology. for instance, their sewage system was far advanced compared to europe. In europe the average european were dying from diseases like cholera and they were just coming off surviving the black death. their cleaniness is what was their downfall as they couldn't adapt to the diseases the europeans brought in while at war with them. Also, the aztecs didn't lose to the spaniards they lost to the combined might of the tlaxcalans and spaniards. It was the tlaxcalans that then created modern mexico.
🫶🫵👏👏👏 Very good, excellent way of describing in one short paragraph. @@HyogaX9
As a Mexican u got a lot wrong
The Aztecs had Jaguar Warriors too
The Jaguar warriors were the Aztec equivalents of Europe's knights.
@@zendonrey122 yes but the Jaguars and Eagles were still only second class to the elite special forces warriors (The shorn ones) that the Spaniards cowardly massacred unarmed during a festival because they feared to fight them in battle.
The Spanish also had cannons and crossbows as well as Muskets.
The Jaguars and Eagles were still only second class to the elite special forces warriors (The shorn ones) that the Spaniards cowardly massacred unarmed during a festival because they feared to fight them in battle. To be precise they massacred 8000 unarmed special mexican forces. A few managed to escape and they hid the treasure the Spaniards wanted. The treasure was never found so the 1000 Spaniards that died in Mexico, died in vain. Aztec blood is still very much alive, that's why Mexico is top tier in boxing and not Spain. It is the Aztec blood that contains the secrets of warfare.
@@carlosa.n5100 Yeah.
@@carlosa.n5100Lol...what's more cowardly than cutting the heart out of an unarmed captive being held down on an altar to your demon god? I agree that Aztec blood is still very much alive. Just look at what the narco-terrorists do to other unarmed Mexicans everyday! Cutting off their heads, burning people alive, dismembering people and leaving their bodies for their families to discover as a warning! Yep...sounds like classic Aztec behavior to me! Two of the greatest Mexican boxers of all time were of Spanish descent! Undefeated fighter Ricardo Lopez and KO specialist Canelo Alvarez and his brothers would fit in perfectly in any Spanish city.
In the Mexico and other South American countries, Aztecs and Mayans had many of different kinds of the warriors including the Eagle Warrior and Jaguar Warriors in the Aztec-Mayan civilization history. As the history buffs, Aztec- Mayan History is one of my favorite history books.
I am so happy to find this KZhead Channel, subscribed. Is this a new series or something? I started with the other episode of the Ninja, and now I am onto Los Aztecas, and I see these videos are recently uploaded content to the library, so this works out with perfect timing during my Dog sitting.

If you're going to tell a story at least get it right, it's not even close to the full story, personally I'm on Cortez side, the aztecs were hated and his arrival was just what the people they preyed on needed.

Or even gave the "natives" a shave so they dont sport european face hair... or used Aztec buildings instead of Teotihuacan. wrong culture, wrong century...
Ehh I mean they was telling a story plus who knows, real feathers are harder to maintain and they probably recorded this over a span of months or weeks
@@brandonwilson5311 Please explain about the location, interested
@@mauricioacosta7492 I did name the city Teotihuacan. look it up it's amazing culture, it is what most of the "Aztec" temple video used is. I know its all for "visual reference" but they should clarify. It's the Totonac people they lived over one thousand years before the Aztec. Unfortunately the Aztecs city Tenochtitlan was completely destroyed and sits under mexico city.
The eagle helmet looks like cardboard 😂
Fear is control, thus the enforcement of terror tactics must be a continual cycle, in order for fear to function to it's full potential. To coin a quote: "Rivers of blood"; literally. These were no 'warriors' per se, these were psychopaths who possessed sociopathic indifference to almost everything bar the satiating of purpose: Imposing fear on a grand scale. True Warriors are a whole other group of fighting men and women, in my opinion.
Love this 💪
Montezuma got a taste of his own medicine when it was all over. Edit...The eagle warriors although elite were most likely used to commiting massacres against people who were already subjects of the emperor. The Aztec empire was a dictatorship and they ended up facing people who were just as ruthless as they were.
First off , they aren’t Aztec, they are Mexica. . Secondly not all were trained to be warriors . Some were priests, some were medicine people, some were calendar keepers, etc. . The Mexica have been portrayed solely as killers to try to justify how many were raped, tortured and killed by the conquistadors. The Mexica were highly educated and knew better hygiene and community care over the Europeans. Get these facts straight. Those who came in the name of religion killed millions of indigenous peoples of Turtle Island.
Blah, blah, blah
@@user-qn1kz7dk3tblah your existence

Yeah but I think the majority were warriors right ? The priests and medicine people were only reserve for nobility, if I'm not mistaken.......
The Aztec weren't that powerful!!! We kicked their butts. We are neighbors to Aztecs.
how the europians conquered countries? they make the people fight each other
The Roman way 👍
Damn, maybe, I think they did the same with India.......
Great breakdown
Say what you want but Cortez had balls.
No, Montezuma was just a pussy. If it would’ve been a time before Motezuma, Cortez would’ve gotten MURKED with all his Spanish fleet
I think so too bro

I commented on the Viking/Berserker episode of this series, about how I don't actually think Amanita Muscaria was the most likely candidate for the fungal-pharmaceutical ingested by berserkers to get beastly and amplify power, etc... I think its far more likely the berserkers were ingesting a psilocybin-containing species, like the locally-occurring Psilocybe Semilanceata, a.k.a. Liberty Caps, or perhaps even a mushroom related to the Psilocybe-Cyanescens-Group or related wood-decomposing type which occurs in cold to temperate regions around the globe. I am bringing this up in the comments of this video about the Aztecs, as I think they are another culture of people in the world's past, who DEFINITELY were familiar with, and probably using one or various of their local psilocybin mushrooms, of which there are many (Central America is known to have the greatest concentration of different/novel/indigenous species of Psilocybe mushrooms. In fact, the various Mesoamarican peoples are perhaps the longest-running maintainers of a connection to psilocybin mushrooms, while the rest of the world mostly forgot or lost the connection (EVERYONE is descended from ancestors who at some point were involved with these mushrooms). Anyway, the Aztecs took shrooms for sure, and I also believe it helped develop their beastly physical prowess, honed their senses, etc... If mushrooms are not brought up in this documentary, or at least Peyote, I think a BIG piece to all of this is being left out. These things are not merely "accidental toxins" in nature that increased over generations because of their ability to defend against insects, etc... Nor are their effects on/in human beings, merely "psychoactive"/mental, or by any means accidental. If they are primarily just acting on the "Mind", then we have long underestimated the system-wide and physiological impact that states-of-mind can have. Either way, these "mystical/sacred" plants and fungi seem to synergize with our entire system, leading to potential honings/transformations of even our physical state, including healing/regeneration, almost forwardly generating the bio-enginery that people seek to access through long-term fasting, like autophagy/etc. But these plants/fungi can bring that on much faster. Not that the experience is "easy" by any means, or at least any means we are likely aware of yet, but these things can be terrifyingly uncomfortable, at least at first and with all the toxic complications of our current state/diet/lifestyle/circumstance/etc...

At least get someone that has the smallest bit of athleticism to show the weapons. He tells how terrifying the weapons were but he couldn't even get the entire arrowhead into the watermelon. He used that wood to launch the arrow/dart, saying it doubles the force, yet the dart practically bounced off the watermelon. They could have at least just stabbed the watermelon and just used that shot for the clip. No one would see them holding it.
La triste noche means the sad night not the night of tears 😅
'Medieval' is strictly used for the European time period. Its equivalent is the 'Post Classic Period' in Aztec history.
This tribe is very hardcore
You better believe it,those Aztecs sacrificed everything that was beautiful
worst reenactments I've ever seen...
They are British what do u expect
F it they tried
These guys got even the name for the Mexica empire wrong. As a history channel they should know that the term Aztec is a made up name. 50k people sacrificed a year, give me a break! No one knows for sure anyway , but if less than 20 million people were under their control, they would soon kill off their workforce. They needed the enemy population to pay tributes. It makes zero economic sense to sacrifice that many people in a vastly unoccupied land. There were but a few million people living in the whole Mesoamerica at that time (from Mexico to Brazil). They even had some captives marry the widowed women in their empire to grow their population. The 5th Sun (book) gives you a better understanding of what life was like under the Mexica.
Central america is a region not a continent i feel like the central/ north argument is quite confusing . The whole of mexico is north american continental plates . The region is called central america kind of like saying the horn of africa or the middle east mexico Guatemala honduras etc is central american region
Woke up
Its ironic...the people the Aztecs shouldve killed were aloud to walk right into the heart of their empire.
The Mayans lived in Central America
The NEVER mentioned that the Conquistadors were ACCOMPANIED by THOUSANDS of Aztec Enemies. That was Cortez’ BIGGEST ASSET convincing Aztec enemies to join them. The Noche Triste is the battle were the Aztecs defeat the Spanish.. SO THE AZTECS WOULD HAVE DEFEAT THE CONQUISTADORS INA REAL BATTLE.
I thought they were saying beagle warriors for like 5 minutes
Interesting topic, awfully narrated, ridiculous by experts who should know better than cheapening, sensationalizing like for a tabloid paper.
The paiute shoshones are aztec
I watched the great movie apocalyptic . It depicts this very well th sacrifice
I think you mean "Apocalypto" SMH Much like "Braveheart" both are Mel Gibson movies, and are well-known to be lacking in historical accuracy.
It looks cool but it's half true and half lies It's like the Patriot 😂 Mel Gibson single handedly obliterates a whole British battalion on patrol with 3 muskets 😂 Looks cool but c'mon

I absolutely love just how bad the props are in these historical docs. I see high school productions with better funding
The presenter kindu sounds like Madara Uchiha 😂
the amount of bogus bullshit they tell you in this piece....
Like how great those weapons were🤔
Word... even the best attempts at "sorting-out" history are full of imagination and guessing, as people seem to forget we literally all only have our immediate experience, and even that is strangely suspect (simulation theories, etc, WHO KNOWS lol)... But that thing that stands out to me always, because of my experiences with plants and fungi, organic horticulture, etc... is how significant I think people's interactions with the more infamous "magical/sacred" plants and mushrooms are. So much of what various cultures relied/depended upon, and organized their efforts around, and still do to this day, have to do with what comes out of the earth (obviously lol, but it goes beyond "food" and certainly includes drugs/medicines, which may even be the biggest factors). Tobacco, with its unique alkaloids and even powerful anti-parasitic effects, offered unparalleled relief and satisfaction, and became a hugely valued and traded resource upon being first encountered by the Europeans when they came to Mesoamarica. Opium poppies are perhaps one of the biggest medicine-plants for human beings too, with usage as ancient as humanity itself. Most of humanity's original connection to the plant was forgotten or stifled somehow, and upon reunion, various cultures (rather silently/internally, and not heavily documented) thoroughly integrated the medicine, and then further interacted/traded with other nations in the substance. Like Great Britain did with Opium, perhaps first re-encountering it during colonial occupation of India, and then majorly trading it with China. What I don't understand is how Opium was in any way a "new thing" to China at that time... I don't think it was, but perhaps the latex-extraction done in India, paired with the British empire's efficient transport had something to do with it. I think smoking was a new method at some point, not as ancient as just eating/drinking poppies. Also, I think there is a mysterious parasitic factor running through all of humanity and history obscuring the original function of the plants, and even generating any ill effects or consequences from taking said-medicines, making room for conflicted attitudes towards them, side-effects, more sever withdrawal consequences, etc... Anyway, I am trying to summarize too much and without offering anywhere near enough of the context and other aspects that affirm some of these ideas for me, and probably what I have written just tastes like bogus bullshit too 😂 But if anything I've suggested resonates, cool👍 if not, I hope its at least entertaining, food for thought. 💙

How powerful the eagle warriors were thousands of them routed around 200 Spaniards WOW incredible
Oh please.... the Conquistadors had diseases, crossbows, steel weapons, plate armor, horses, war dogs, Arquebuses, aswell as the native allies they used as cannon fodder. With the way Aztec warriors were trained since they were toddlers... if you put 5 naked Eagle warriors against 5 naked Conquistadors, I have no doubt the Eagle would win the day.
Guy relax, "200 Spaniards" Oh yeah the 10,000 Tlaxcalans The 10,000 from different Nahua Tribes
@@realnativenativistcolonize668 you did not watch the documentary i was talking about la noche triste. The Spanish were not farmers they were also trained wariors just like Azteks
Mexicans are half natives and half Spanish…that’s why they still only speak Spanish from Spain. They don’t speak there original native language.
Not true second most spoken language in mexico is nahuatl which there are about 1.5 million speakers today and third is mayan which there are 800,000 still speaking it get your facts straight still alot of native americans in mexico! Spanish tried to wipe us out but we're still alive and well!
False The majority don't but there is a good amount of who do speak dialect. It's fascinating, there's pockets of "tribes" where people speak dialect.
Top 3 Mexican states where natives do speak dialect and still have their culture Michoacán (Purépecha) Oaxaca (Mixteco, Zapotec) Chiapas and basically all of South Mexico
These things never happened 😮
My grandfather was an eagle warrior.
Yeah, well, after having two near-death-experiences, and having read about a number of people, and theirs, including a stack here on YT....those suckers will be seriously regretting what they did! BTW, there is a 'lake of fire and brimstone'. Laugh it off if you like, but time is going to tell.
That IS some kind funny this at mexi'can s to Day to b proud for u roots ?thear r allmost only spanish & theyr that way r not aztec OR r they?
Does anyone think this was done to reduce population pressures on resources? In those days, we didn't regulate birth, so a bountiful supply easily becomes inadequate in a couple of generations, particularly in arid regions.
Possible but the Aztec had better farming than Europeans with Chinampas plots ,[also had better sanitation and sewage] . The Azteca however were apart of an alliance and their city state neighbors all believed in the flower wars that their God needed their lifeblood to make the sun rise. Their region wasn't arid they setup their city on a lake. With aqueducts to supply fresh water and used waste water for fertilizer.
@@xPablo1376 that's what you are told , you want to believe the worst and you'll find it to suit your narratives. Mainly it was to control their resources and if you tried to fight them they'd capture you alive and make a sacrifice to explain the deaths that resulted from warring.
No. and stupid.
Did typing the words “regulate birth” make you die inside? What a horrendous pairing of words
This ain't no apocalypto! Low budget pulp ....
the spaniards were not the victims in this history, there is no pity for those men
You are correct, the victims here were those fellow native tribes. The ones the Aztecs have been eating, rapeing, taxing, and murdering for a decade. Yea ya know... the multiple thousands of native mexicans that rose up and joined with the spaniards to fight for freedom from the psychopathic Aztecs. How do I know more about your history than you, senior Mendez?

"A Westerner's perspective of a native peoples" ... Notice every time they're re telling their stories about a native peoples they always seem to miss out very very vital information
All people are native people somewhere
@@theabhorrentchef7226 Your argument being??
That “they” presumably western people, probably don’t leave out vital information when talking about their own people. And that every other group who wrote about western people leave out important bits to make themselves look better or look the unjust victim. But mostly to press the point that “native peoples” is a meaningless term. They were natives…except when they first arrived wherever and killed the others who were there before them, which is the story of every group of humans to ever exist on earth.
Surely does the telling need to be so woke? Is human sacrifice not any worse than slavery? Mexico could not have named themselves after a peaceful tribe?
Woke?
Good the Spanish came. I’m not down with the whole human sacrifice.
The Spaniards sacrificed the Aztecs you damn fool.
The Spanish did human sacrifice as well in the name of Jesus and Christianity. The Spanish Inquisition was brutal and evil

Mexican is not a race , that s word is a revolutionary word when the Spanish settled after the war.
It is fortunate for the indigenous people that Western Civilization came to the Americas and stopped such brutal ritual sacrifices by Aztecs against other indigenous tribes, thus saving millions of indigenous lives over the centuries. I wonder if these facts will be broadcast widely during Indigenous Peoples Month every November, when we are told that we must revere the people who made thousands of blood sacrifices of their neighboring tribes every year.
Well said bud...
Well. If there were native tribes whom weren’t enslavers that may be true. Slavery is universal amongst human societies. Aztec’s neighbors enslaved just like they did. The anti-slavery stuff really comes from Europe though, as you’ve mentioned. Albeit hundreds of years later.
In peru, they find anywhere from a dozen to over 200 sacrificed 10 to 14 year Olds. Many girls. Man what ever class they got these kids from had to all be effected by it. I don't think there was a problem with converting to a religion that did kill kids.
Thes spaniards brought diseases, the inquisition, masacred and enslaved indigenous folks. what are you talking about?
