A 700 a?os de su fundaci?n, Tenochtitl?n resurge de las entra?as de la tierra para contar su historia.
Aunque nos separan siete siglos, mexicas y chilangos compartimos un pasado com?n escrito sobre un lugar donde alguna vez hubo un lago. La historia de Tenochtitl?n es el preludio de la historia de la Ciudad de M?xico y ha llegado la hora de mirarla a trav?s de sus dioses y tlatoanis.
Este es un relato al m?s puro estilo de Game of Thrones, pero mexica y ver?dico, en el que, mientras los dioses hac?an su voluntad, los tlatoanis aprendieron que era mejor someter que ser sometidos, explotar que ser explotados y que, para llegar a ser el imperio m?s poderoso de su ?poca, necesitaban la guerra y hartos sacrificios humanos.
Los mexicas fueron una civilizaci?n excepcional –pioneros de la gentrificaci?n en el valle de M?xico–, su capital no ten?a comparaci?n en el mundo conocido y sus gobernantes escribieron su historia desde los entretelones del poder, la ambici?n, la venganza y la fuerza. Es decir, desde la compleja condici?n humana presente desde siempre en la historia.
Alejandro Rosas, divulgador de historia reconocido de M?xico, ha decidido llevar hasta la piedra de los sacrificios la mal contada historia mexica y, a cambio, nos entrega una interpretaci?n libre de prejuicios, de la ret?rica populista y de la sobrevaloraci?n del pasado ind?gena promovida por el discurso oficialista.
Esta es la historia de Tenochtitl?n como jam?s la imaginaste. Por qu?? Porque jam?s la historia se atrevi? a tanto .
ENGLISH DESCRIPTION
Seven hundred years after its founding, Tenochtitl?n rises from the depths of the earth to tell its story.
Although seven centuries separate us, Mexicas and modern-day Mexico City dwellers share a common past written over a place where there was once a lake. The history of Tenochtitl?n is the prelude to the history of Mexico City, and the time has come to view it through its gods and rulers.
This is a tale in the purest Game of Thrones style, but Mexica and true, in which, while the gods imposed their will, the tlatoanis learned that it was better to dominate than to be dominated, to exploit rather than be exploited, and that, to become the most powerful empire of their time, they needed war and countless human sacrifices.
The Mexicas were an exceptional civilization–pioneers of urban transformation in the Valley of Mexico–, their capital had no comparison in the known world, and their rulers wrote history from behind the scenes of power, ambition, vengeance, and strength. In other words, from the complex human condition present throughout history.
Alejandro Rosas, a renowned Mexican historian and popularizer, has decided to bring the poorly told Mexica story to the sacrificial stone and, in return, offers us an interpretation free of prejudice, populist rhetoric, and the overvaluation of the indigenous past promoted by official discourse.
This is the story of Tenochtitl?n as you never imagined it. Why? “Because history had never dared so much.”
