Thank you for your kind words. We love watching documentaries, lectures and reading in our free time. We just happened to learn a bit about the Mayans on our journeys.
Human sacrifice in the pre-Columbian world was a religious practice performed in the context of certain cults of the indigenous peoples of America. This practice was prohibited by the Spaniards a few years after their arrival in America. A great diversity of documents and stories are corroborated by abundant archaeological and historical evidence. Archaeology since the 20th century provides clear evidence of its widespread practice in Mesoamerica.
This is very interesting. I read that various ancient cultures performed it, not just in the Americas. Just didn't know it was that widespread in ancient America. I know this movie may have exaggerated the whole practice. But non the less it highlighted how gruesome it was.
That is very true. There my be many gruesome wars going on around the world at the moment. But history has shown us that the brutality of mankind knows no bounds.
the timeline was a little off between Mayan civilization and arrival of Spanish conquistadors but I think for a movie some artistic license is allowed...very captivating movie, you dont even get tired reading.
😂😂😂 I think they did that for the benefit of the audience so that we can relate or know what it is they were hunting. And that trap they used to k!ll it was just something else.
This movie is good, but it is not accurate, barely even in the slightest. The scenes of violence in this movie can get pretty intense, but from what we know of the Mayan peoples, they were not THIS violent, and human sacrifices were not nearly as common as they are portrayed in this movie. I should also note, that it's unfortunately common that many confuse the Mayan civilization with the Aztec Empire. While the Aztec Empire did seem to partake in human sacrifices as well, again, not done to the extent that the Spanish has led the world to believe. Remember, history is written by the victors, and the Aztec peoples were victims of genocide and cultural erasure, so everything we know of the Aztecs come from the Spanish.
We now know from archaeology that the aztec were as vicious and bloodthirsty as the spanish described. We know this from their own surviving writings and artworks as well as many mass ritual grave sites. Look up the word tzompantli in google images. Many other states and peoples were just as bloody and vicious during times of war and famine. Also backed up by archaeology: for the Maya we can look up their memorial stelae where they described what they would do to their rival city states. And as far as the claim of genocide is concerned, all you have to do is look at modern latin americans vs anglo americans and you can see where the real genocide happened. Over 90% of the Spanish conquistadors were natives who joined them as allies and then racially and culturally mixed unlike what happened in the 13 colonies and their successor nation. Unfortunately not everyone is on the same page with the new information that has come out in recent decades and is still influenced by anglo american propaganda in movies, shows, and history channel grade documentaries.
What do you mean "human sacrifices were not nearly as common as they are portrayed in this movie."???🤔 The entire movie only occurred within a 24 hour period & the sacrifices only occurred in one location. Also, what is a reasonable amount of human sacrifices?
The children from their village survived aswell. They could find them and make a new village. And the last part of the omen was that he will bring them to their doom. The Spaniards destroyed the Maya and he literally brought them on the beach to meet them.
@@Seek1878 If you want to correct someone, find out if it needs correction first. The Spanish encoutered more people than just the Aztecs. They encountered Maya aswell. A quick search on google will show you how wrong you are. The Spanish did encountered Maya, fought them and defeated them. Look up the name "Martin de Urzua y Arizmendi" and where he was from. Who do YOU think encountered the Maya? Russians? And my comment was not for some random guy who does not know anything about history, yet pretends he does. My comment was for the wholesome father-son duo.
@@FilipŠtěpka Then why did you only list the Maya, lol? They did encounter the Maya, but the Maya were not as depicited in this movie. At that point the Maya were more decentralized and fragmented into city-states and kingdoms rather than how they had been in older times, many of the large cities had long been in ruins when the Spanish appeared. Not to mntion this movie essentially combines Maya and Aztec civilizations.
First time on you guys account! Great stuff! Loved the review!

It’s so great to watch two people who actually know there history about that time & part of the world 🙂 such a great movie

A lot of cultures started out brutal. They just mellowed down with trade and as life got more and more comfortable

The movie is so great, and making it in their native tongue made it even better. One of the best action movies ever made, thrilling from start to end.
Its very off lol
@@Seek1878 Not so much off. Your Lol shows you do not know anything you're only trolling. Sad troll you're.
I love this movie's theme of pure survival by all means available. Jaguar Paw never gave up
Jaguar Paw is the embodiment of never giving up. My favorite moment is when he stopped running and realized he is in his forest and became the hunter.
Woww cool reaction ❤❤❤
Thank you very much for your kind words. Really glad you enjoyed it. Hope you will enjoy the others to come in the future.
At the beginning the animal is a tapir, not a pig. But they dubbed it with the sound of a pig for some reason, lol, tapirs don't make those sounds.
😂😂😂 I think they did that for the benefit of the audience so that we can relate or know what it is they were hunting. And that trap they used to k!ll it was just something else.
very good reaction
Thank you so much. Really glad you enjoyed it. We appreciate it more than you think. Hope you will enjoy the reactions to come in the future.
Perfect❤
Thank you so much for your kind words. This really warms and brightens our day
It's not 2016 it's 2006
Thanks for the correction. And thank you for watching.
Anyone else's eyes hurt?
Hi, thanks for watching. Can you please elaborate? Is the blur affecting your eyes?

Aztecs were very much so vicious warriors. Very quick too.
Cartels continue this legacy.
What do you mean "human sacrifices were not nearly as common as they are portrayed in this movie."???🤔
The entire movie only occurred within a 24 hour period & the sacrifices only occurred in one location.
Also, what is a reasonable amount of human sacrifices?
Bs
No culture deserves to survive. Cultures either survive or don't.
Strong disagree.
@@iblamegravity2341 no one deserves to die. Or we all deserve to die.. deserve is the operative word. History will prove me right.
The children from their village survived aswell. They could find them and make a new village. And the last part of the omen was that he will bring them to their doom. The Spaniards destroyed the Maya and he literally brought them on the beach to meet them.
The Spanish encountered the Aztecs, not Maya. Also who knows where the kids went, for all we know a jaguar got a few of them.

@@Seek1878 Dude, you are so wrong. Your backpaddling is ridiculous. I am not going to waste my time with you. You can educate yourself.
@@FilipŠtěpka Did you mean backpedaling? lol. And if you want to run instead of making a point, be my guest.
You talk too much. My gosh...react the movie
Go watch the damn movie yourself then. Why are you watching these guys if you just wanna silently watch the movie yourself?
I enjoyed their reactions, they were accurate in their observations. They got it!
