HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 6 апр 2023
- Dr. Roy Casagranda wraps up his two-part series on the Aztecs. In this he talk he discusses the conquest of the Mexica (aka the Aztecs) by Hernan Cortez (Spain). This talk is dedicated to Dr. Ken Brown and Dr. Quetzil Castaneda.
Thank god, thought I was going to have to wait a year to hear part 2. If only all lecturers and teachers were like this - people would actually enjoy education and learn something. Thanks, great lecture as always!
hi Austin school, are there any books that you would recommend reading that actually tell you the history in truth regarding aztecs and not the hollywood version.
and plz keep the videos coming, very informative and eye opening not the usual mumbo jumbo, thanks
A book Thats rather interesting and pertinente is Aztec by Gary Jennings... First look for reviews in YT about it, I think you'll love it. I as a Mexican happily living in CDMX can't recommend it Enough.
Great lectures by this great professor; I've never thouth about the period way before the Mexica Build up my City (tenochtitlan, now CDMX), always interesting to hear a differenta and a rather constructive perspective.
This guy deserves more airtime and credit a brilliant historian
This channel is such a gem 💎
Agreed!
Obviously Mashallah
So it is...
Yeah but fuck man dr roy needs to upload more
Dr. Casagranda I'm in love with your lectures. My brain is cooked bc I don't have an attention span anymore and I usually can't even watch a 10 minute video without getting bored but I can watch 4 straight hours of your lectures. Incredibly interesting and entertaining even though you barely use any images. I have learned so much about the world. My favorite thing is that you give so much context before starting every lecture, which is incredibly helpful. Thank you so much for sharing your knowledge for free ❤
I accidentally come across Professor Roy lectures and now my whole family is addicted. we listen him regularly on weekends, incredible knowledge and honesty with the facts
This Prof is an embodiment of knowledge. His "keep it simple" style of presentation would have made the study of politics and history worth the while if many of us had him as a teacher during our undergraduate days
A lot of things of what he says aré incorrect
@@crispy0104 Yeah he's just making shit up. I can see it because i know aztecs a bit but i'm not familiar with the other topics he talks about like the crusades or islam, now I'll have to assume he's just making shit up in those talks too. Better to stick to guys who actually cite their sources.
Wow! Your lectures are brilliant! Your delivery makes me feel like you genuinely want me to be able to connect the dots between the past and the present. They are packed with the most detailed; most extraordinary facts. Thank you for educating me, my family and my friends.
Moral of the Story : Do not make your neighbourghs hate you and do not assume that you know other people's culture...Fantastic lecture, even though I question some of the population numbers.
The Prof is amazing. So eloquent. And his memory…. He can talk for hours without missing a beat.
Ten years of waiting for the Winds of Winter, I've been reading the Last Kingdom and the Accursed Kings series. Little that I know I've found another flavor of Ice and Fire in Professor Casagranda's lectures. These are amazing stuff.
He is one of the best teacher in the world , period !!! 🙏🙏
Wow 🤟
What a wonderful way to teach 🙏
His story is full of holes
These talks are so interesting. Please keep them going. Thanks to the Professor and to all those behind the scenes who make this happen.
There are not enough videos in this channel! I can't get enough of Roy!
Thank you for making these fine lectures to educate us.
At the end of this lecture, I was glad I wasn't white, European, or Christian..
And listening to many of your other lectures, I am proud to be Egyptian, Arab, and Muslim. So I hope I am an acestor of Khalid Ibn Al Walid, Al Faraby, Mohamed Al Fatih, and all the fine ancient Egyptians
Oh and I am ordering your book very soon 🙏 ( The Blood Throne of Caria)
It seems you have not learned anything from Roy's lessons. You can easily find some terrible things that Egyptian, Arabs and Muslims did in the past (even nowadays). I don't understand why people are being proud of things that they did not choose like ethnicity etc. It is just pure tribal instinct.
@@mstzn1 you are right. I didn't mean to come off as tribal. I understand what you are saying. White europeans always try to portray us as barbaric and backwards, when the facts that Roy teaches us tell us that we were always much more civilized. We are not perfect either but in comparison, we as a people are relatively civil. Your ancestors are the ottoman empire, which had some bad times, but across most of the time it existed, it was a place of tolerance and civility.
@@maamounelsharkawy3924 When Egyptians say that they are Arabs, Muslims or speak Arabic and are 'proud' of that, that is so contradictory, farsical and funny because they take the 'Arab' identity who colonized them.
Speak native Egyptian language, wear native Egyptian clothing, practice native Egyptian religion etc, only then you can say you are proud 'Egyptian'.
What a joke!
I agree I keep rewatching the same stuff
What a weird comment.
GIVE THIS MAN A RAISE! And tenure, if he so desires.
I encountered Dr. Casagrande's lectures and was profoundly impressed by their depth and insight. His expertise and nuanced analysis represent an exceptional standard within unbiased academic discourse. Drawing from my studies in history, particularly concerning figures such as Columbus and Cortez, I benefited significantly from the perspectives imparted by Dr. Casagrande's lectures. My maternal lineage, intertwined with native heritage, further enriched my understanding of the complex legacies of colonization. The devastating impact wrought by conquistadors like Cortez, Pizarro, de Almagro, and Valdivia upon the indigenous populations and cultures of the Americas remains a topic of incomprehensible magnitude. It behooves us, therefore, to confront and comprehend these historical realities with courage and humility, recognizing their implications for our collective past and the imperative of responsible stewardship for the benefit of future generations.
Oh sooo much love you for Professor! You've helped me through Ramadan listening to your lectures. You're so funny, and witty - and your anti-Orientalist flavour to your analysis is refreshing and vital. Thank you and God bless you
The ending of your lecture made me cry 😢 That decision saved us but at the expense of so many others.
I genuinely started crying when the lecture ended with de las casas and African slavery... Prof is such a good storyteller he got me genuinely invested in the man's humanity and then broke my heart with his reveal at the end of the trial 😂
I mean he essentially suggested what he believed to be the most humane solution possible.
African slavery was not the only slavery in history. Stop it. Its a tired argument.
@@annakat3754 nothing else in history ever compared to the Atlantic slave trade, leave your white apologist logic off my comment :)
@@annakat3754what are you even replying to? The video is literally about another type of slavery, so pretty sure everyone in the comments knows African slavery was not the only slavery.
@@annakat3754Try listening to the lecture before advancing your white racist argument.
Dr. Roy is the best! It’s kind of like having the dude from Big Lebowski explain things to you in terms even stoners can understand!
It's better than watching a movie ,
great talk, loved that ending. the course of history changed by one man.
i just don't understand how the Aztecs were such badasses dominating their neighbors when they didn't fight with weapons and their neighbors did...
Such a wonderful character. So much knowledge. I find myself listening to him every night and morning
Good lecture. I really enjoy listening to a lecture as an informed scholar. This professor is brushing me up nicely.
I love Roy. I been listening to this man's lectures since I first found them on RUclips. He's an absolute rockstar for history nerds like me😊
36:54
This is why people from all across the world love Prof Roy so much.
He bathes his mind with local names, cultures and traditions and wholeheartedly promotes them.
He constantly appreciates and compliments the local societies and thing very foreign to many other White people.
This man is built by pure love for different societies and doesn't condescend on any of them.
Watching you makes me want to go back to school prof! Keep it up
I can't wait for part 3, you are absolutely amazing
My favorite talk so far. Bravo! Thank you!!!
Roy is a living legend ❤ he should upload more 😊
I loved it when Guerro says, “I WAS Guerro…” she seemed like a badass. I wish I knew more about him
One of the best lecture ever. Always enjoyed listening and learning at the same time😊
This is amazing, Dr. Roy is now my favorite
If I ever come to Austin I will make sure to attend one of your lectures, you are simply amazing at delivery, your style keep me engaged, thanks for your effort!
You gave us Part 2 so quickly! Thanks professor. You knocked it out of the park yet again!
Dr. Casagranda weaves a narrative in Part l and Part ll that is fascinating. The linkages of his history is full of incredible detail and amazing coincidences that would make an epic fictional worthy of Honer, yet it is the reality of The Conquest. I don't know how he amassed all of this data and detail, but it is a riveting story. Thank you for pulling all this historical and disparate information together into an excellent, if not terrifying and tragic, tale of madness and then twisted logic. Incredibly wild and fantastic, scholarly and compelling work.
Thank you for uploading. Amazingly presented.
To be fair, this is a lot of Black Legend, and I say this as a Mexican born in Veracruz.
Un poco la verdad, saludos de España.
He is a little embellish on the numbers and stories, and he tries to punch up a lot, but hey, a little fiction makes the story interesting
What part of this lecture is incorrect?
@@jaredyetter4784 you didnt asked me but, but a few secs before here: ruclips.net/video/uraDUVCRsNc/видео.html, he says that when Colón returned and debrief Queen Isabel "La Católica" and said that with a couple of men you can make slaves of the natives, and Isabel said "AMAZING", that's a lie, I mean the same Isabel that threw Colón in jail for being a slaver, mistreatment of the natives, and an overall brutal governor?
The same Isabel that in her testament she said that there should be a priority to integrating with the natives, and promoted marriages between Spaniards and natives, would that Isabel say "AMAZING" when queried about the possibility of enslavement of the natives?
Also, in the previous video the stated that in the Americas there were around 150 million people, one century after there were only 15 millions, the failed to mention that 99% of those deaths were because of the diseases and not because the Spaniard were in a campaign of extermination.
In fact, in the conquest of the Aztecs, the Spaniard were a minority they managed to ally themselves with the Aztec's enemies, the conquest of the Aztecs is more a story about the liberation of the Tlaxcaltecas and other tribes with the help of the Spaniards.
Just more anglo propaganda against Spain, nothing new.
Thank you SO much! Dr. Casagranda is an inspiration. He’s so well researched and never just gives the party line….
No he is not. A lot of what he says is incorrect
These lectures are so incredibly informative and heartbreaking. Would love to take one of your courses. Thanks Dr. Roy for these enlightening and horrifying lectures on humanity’s inhumanity
Amazing man Roy - a wealth of knowledge
I'm so grateful that this is free!!!
So he did that guilt bit at the end but didn't explain it, and if I ever had an explanation for it from elsewhere, I'm drawing a blank. Anyone know why I should feel the slightest bit guilty for genocides and slavery I never took a hand in?
Heavy. Thanks for two amazing lectures!
I was waiting for this thank you doctor Casagranda
Fantastic lecture. Brilliant instructor.
Such great lectures, thanks for this
Superb lecture such an honest and well explored history lesson. Thank you!
I love it when he says “isn’t that cool!” Because it actually is cool!😅
More of Roy please. Amazing insight. Wish him a long life so he can give us an impartial history of the world as far as is possible. Loved the Middle Eastern history, the European history, history of the America's. I would love some light to be shed on the Eastern histories e.g. India, Malaysia, Indonesia, Native Australians, and of course China. That side of the world is still an enigma to me.
Thank you for the brief description of the two-part series on the Aztecs. We would like to see a part three to this series where he mentioned the spanish dominican monk Bartolome de las Casas in which he ended the lecture at the year 1550. Thanks.
This guy is un incredible lecturer! Story teller !! Thank you thank you for speaking the truth !!!
Thank God! This was amazing!
Great lecture. I enjoyed it and remain 100% guilt free 😊
I lament not paying more attention as a young man to history. Something clicked at age 30 and I consumed history ever since. 3 decades or books and lectures and Dr Casagranda is categorically above all
Not the Chanel is a gem bro but the Man casagranda
Beautiful. Roy, keep at it.
It should be a holiday every time dr. Casagrande drops a video
Love these videos man!
It's equally mesmerizing and moving. Wish I could be a student of him or listen to him more.
Thanks prof.Casagranda,l have been following your work and learning a great deal as an Arab origin guy enjoy every bit of your classes though I studied most in schools but that’s 50Y ago
I love his ancient history ♥️ lectures
The depth of knowledge this man possesses in history is truly unique. Truly grateful for the enlightenment he has brought us. I'm excitedly looking forward to "Crusade Part 3" and the portrayal of Saladin's character. It will be fascinating to see how his story unfolds in this installment.
I love Dr. Casagranda's lectures but I've been a casual student of history for 50 years now and I know how this turns out. When I read the title, "The Spanish Arrive", I knew I couldn't watch this video. I'm sure you will be accurate and brutally honest which is much appreciated. Thank you for educating those who might not know. I will go watch Part I before the Spanish got there. I'm interested to see what he thinks about Montezuma.
I wanna go back to school simply because of Roy, this dude kicks ass
Wow! ❤
Excellent work!
I could listen to him forever
this is awesome thank you soo much🥰🥰🥰🥰
Great material!
Amazing lecture
Interesting. Love to see more..
Great content as always
This professor is a living legend
Mr Roy, thanks , greetings from the Netherlands, Rotterdam
This dude is just awesome
❤❤ love this
Well, I guess I'll be a future cockroach, but if Aztecs loved others so much, then why even after seeing who Cortez was (such a bad man), other Indian tribes still helped him? And if there was even only 1 million Aztecs, and they ate 1 pound of human flesh a year (his words), that means they would have to eat 1 million pounds of human flesh and a very conservative approximation is about 10k people eaten a year. Very "others loving" Aztec family. And it's such a huge underestimation.
And Aztecs fighting without weapons? Like man, are you sure what you are saying? I guess there were only few "knights wannabe" who fought this way, but no way it was majority.
10k people eaten every year for 90 years is 900k for sustaining life and the sun because human lives are sacred, as they believed. Their geographically tiny empire had 35 million people, 8 million alone in and around the lake. Cortez was responsible for millions upon millions of deaths over a tiny fraction of that time for profit, and even more in his wake.
There’s no denying the Mexicas’ practice of human sacrifice and cannibalism is evil by today’s standards, but let’s not act like that’s a good reason to do what Cortez did and not hold them accountable. Cortez was straight up evil, and so was the Spanish empire.
For the record, I have Spanish, Portuguese, and Puerto Rican ancestry. Judging by his last name, I’m guessing Dr. Roy CASAGRANDA probably has Spanish ancestors, too. It’s not like this came from natives bashing Spanish people. This was introspective. That’s what every human should be doing.
Its a crime that no movie has been made about these events
The peoples of Mexico City had domesticated turkeys and ate a variety of insects for animal protein.
1) The Aztecs definitely used weapons - they didn’t go into battle unarmed. Ridiculous.
2) the X was pronounced like the “sh” sound not the silly gutteral sound he makes
3) Cortes was back in the city and led the escape from tenochtitlan, not arriving to see his compatriots fleeing already during La Noche Triste
4) There were not 200,000 Mexica soldiers. That was the population of their entire city state and that included women, children and elderly.
Many more errors in his presentation
Appalling that he's a history teacher and gives so many erroneous "facts" !!!!
There was not 8 million people living in Tenochtitlan when Cortez arrived!!! The estimates is a population of 200,000 to 400,000!
Mexica warriors did have and used weapons during war!!!!
Yes we forgot that you were there at that time
@@nobaso620 yes and you sound completely ignorant of the modern science of historical linguistics which allows us to reconstruct sound changes within and between languages over time, and especially so for this era where we have orthographic evidence to support our analysis. Lions don’t debate with sheep so no more replies from me
@@PhiloLogos777 nice you've crowned yourself a king or a lion. Paliz
When you realize this man is a professor of political science, the ending of this lecture makes complete sense. Great story teller though even if heavily biased
...lost for words really, its all unbelievable, unthinkable and still hasn't changed.
hasn’t changed? can you show me a modern day army of 500 men that has recently conquered a country with 35 million people as Cortez did to the Aztecs? I do not believe that you can show me that. Therefore in fact, some things have changed. Nevertheless, it is also true that human violence against one another has always remained the same in way, shape, or form. So maybe you meant something less literal when you typed that things have not changed.
Dr Roy, .........is a genius ........ He's Brilliant
I love this guy
Wow wow wow. I was about to start liking this de las casas monk dude and then it was like ,,,,oh man.
Just amazing . No word of a lie I actually enjoy your lectures more than watching movies . One of the best story tellers the world has ever seen.
Thanks Roy . Ps will be picking up a copy of your novel as mentioned in the crusades lecture 1.
Will there be a part 3 to this you say ?
Speechless.
Great lecture
History is written by the victors that’s why most of can’t believe what were hearing but thanks to people like him for spreading the truth from an unbiased way.
I am from the Dominican Republic and when hearing about Columbus finding gold on his first expedition, it makes sense that that part of the island has a city called Puerto Plata. They have romanticized the story by saying the name comes from the silvers cloud around its mountain. I think it is because of the bloody silver.
I mean, they found silver.
Man u r amazing👏 👏 👏
Amazing
Roy is the best ACC teacher!
wait. what? he’s only at ACC? a friggin community college? that’s hilarious. Dude’s way too good a presenter to only teach at a community college?!?! btw, ain’t knockin community. Got my associates. Then got a bachelor degree. But community college stereotypes are definitely stereotypes that exist for real reasons. And I am a living example!😂
That was phenomenal wow and really eye opening, always thought that very little was know about natives but apparently I was very wrong
Beautiful ending.
Very entertaining lecture, sure it has been seasoned a lot and it is very engaging, also funny! However it needs to be contrasted with many other similar lectures by other historians of similar trajectory as Dr.Casagranda and although might not be as entertaining they might be more accurate. Not to judge but is good to hear different points of view about topics like the conquest of Mexico, much to learn there.
was browsing your site and saw that you lived in Algeria as an Algerian I feel like I have missed out on not meeting you here,if you ever visit I would love to have you for dinner doctor!
Wonderful presentation thank you very much. I would like to add that the Spanish had dogs as tools of war trained and clad in armor.
The ending.
All struggles are connected. Freedom for all or freedom for none.
this is required listening
I’m guessing these lectures are extra credit type open to the public and not part of the actual curriculum? Imagine how good his actual class must be if the extra lectures are this entertaining. It would be a great class to audit (I’m against homework) if an employer would pay for it lol.
Great lecture if not for the factual errors. He’s a political scientist, after all!
Great lecture but I wholly disagree with his closing remarks. No one alive today is guilty for what people did hundreds of years ago. To try to put guilt on us for “benefiting” from it unjustly ignores the ways we’ve been hurt by it too.
If you’re reading this, I beg you to drop this belief. End the cycle of collective guilt, grief, and recrimination!
