Mexico City, originally known as Tenochtitlán, is the oldest thriving capital in the Americas. When the Spanish arrived, it was the largest city they had encountered, claiming it was even larger than any city they had seen in the old world.
@@joltjolt5060 Correct. Someone knows how the world works. And has worked forever. But suddenly now, people living in America are evil for it. Even though it's how the entire planet works(ed) since the dawn of time. Pretty funny.
My father survived the 1985 earthquake he’s still living and very grateful for the taxi that my grandfather left behind sadly he didn’t make it but my father was able to get to the airport and book the first flight to a nearby city thanks to that taxi that he drove. *Edit* I haven’t been able to honor my grandfather properly for the huge sacrifice he made but I’ll always remember him and believe that he has my heart in heaven.
The Aztecs were ruling in Mexico City only 7 centuries ago, so they are relatively a modern civilization… in comparison Olmec ruled in Mexico aprox 24 centuries ago
tenochtitlan was a small part of mexico city. the city now takes up the entire valley of mexico/lake basin which was one of the cradles of civlization. cities like texcoco and azcapotzalco predate tenochtitlan by hundreds or even thousands of years. the valley of mexico has been inhabited for thousands of years
Congratulations. Great documentary, narration, historical images, great description of the projects, and showing how Mexico City has been great in both ancient and modern times.
The early spanish accounts of the original city describe it as something as impressive as any city in europe. The scale, the craftwork, It must have been incredible. We also see the relics as stone much as we do greco roman relics, when in fact many of them were painted perhaps gilded in gold. An absolute bummer we have no visual account of the old city. It is impossible to appreciate what it must have been. Reminds me a bit of tibet which was blown to bits leaving the impression it was a small city in the mountains when it had over 2000 structures, many ornately crafted. Arrghh.
I exist for reason- at 15 I survived the terrible earthquake and through my life discovered so many things. Miss mi Papa.. wish I could talk to him about all of this. Thank you for sharing.

Don't be too amazed at Mexico's rubber-tire metro trains. We have the same type here in Montreal. The reason is that the rubber tires make it possible for the trains to navigate steeply inclined tunnels, something important in a city like ours, with various escarpments and a plateau. In cities with steel-wheeled metro trains, the metro tunnels have to be a lot more level.
True, Mexico City is in a mountain zone, so streets and public transportation go up and down. Also, the southern parts of the city are filled volcanic rock, and it's difficult to dig into, so it was built around it.
I read somewhere decades ago that the Paris Metro uses rubber-tire because it is much quieter. The iron wheels can be heard over a very long distance inside a low level room, and more so inside an underground room. I also find the Paris Metro much more quiet waiting on platforms and inside the cars, compared to the more traditional iron on iron Hamburg subway system.

It actually started in the Inca's a Blonde headed, blonde bearded group of tall, muscular, large people's in what is Columbia now, but then it was where the Machu Picchu was. The Chachapoyas/Cloud Warriors built Michu Picchu. They ruled it for over 800 years. They were outnumbered and defeated, then migrated north, through Mexico and what is now Arizona. The white brother called the Pahana. Look into it. True Isrealites!

Bravo.... very interesting.... Please remember that there are a few who can distinguish Inkan and Aztec art and those who can distinguish between Aztec and Chinese art..... Minor points, it was much appreciated.
One of the things I liked about Mexico City is the electric bike system and system of bike trail throughout the city. Unfortunately, like many cities there are way too many cars. But the bike system makes it very easy to use and quite convenient to many of the things that make Mexico City so beautiful.
We have potholes in Oklahoma that will fit a large car in! They just block it off and unless utilities are disrupted, they leave it for a few years! 😡 Where is all the money to fix the infrastructure? Biden signed an executive order allowing cities to use a 50 billion dollar fund for infrastructure!
@MoniqueBoulangerMSG That is only some of the main streets in Mexico City and other state capitals. It is filled with pot holes and even unpaved streets in other parts of the city and everywhere in Mexico. Welcome to the club, he, he.
So,it turns out that Mexico City is the equivalent of the Giza Plateau. Take that, you people who are always ragging on Mexico! I have always suspected that the history of the Americas was much more complex and interesting than what I was taught in school, and I'm just delighted that it's happening in Mexico. I can't wait to see what they find next.
here is a "Logical set of Questions" I would ask myself growing up in Mexico City and visiting the Museum next to "El Zocalo" with my grandfather. For anyone viewing this documentary: listen and pay attention to the "depths" they talk about and try to imagine how deep some of these pyramids were and ask yourself. 1. Were did they (Note: remember as per history books, the populations were decimated upwards of up to 80% after the Spaniards arrived carrying all types of Germs / chicken-pox) so were did "they" (the few survivors) bring in all that dirt to at the very least cover 16 feet (again this figure is a ballpark number as the depths are much deeper) to cover all the surrounding space that now allows for all those building you see and streets one drives on. And 2. You mean to tell me that even though the lake was dried out, they were also able to cut the water access out of all those rivers which again feed back into the lake again? Let alone the amount of weight all these new building have. And on top of that they build the 2nd largest Metro system underground in the Americas? Something is not adding up. I hope to one day put some online content going into depth about this subject. Was born and raised in Mexico City 8 Minutes from the National Airport and all I can tell you is that it has always been a special place, yet the history is bit off.............
@@MooMoo-fw3kh I did and it does not add up. Remember the word “History” alone means “His Story” which ever the victor decides to tell. For example everyone thinks or was “thought” the Spaniard did all the “conquering” when in fact if it were not for the people of Tlaxcala the Spaniards would have never had a chance to Occupied the land. They were so fears worries that even after the Occupation they were plans for using them by the Spaniards agains China as they were in the Philippines (hens why filipinos have such close resemblance to what we know as today as the Mexican People.

Brother your exactly right to feel like the historical narrative doesn’t add up n that’s because in many cases it doesn’t… First up the Americas is the true old world, search up where the majority of all food stuffs (veg fruit etc) originate, it’s the Americas, the Americas is a special place, search up where the majority of all temples like structures are located… it’s the Americas. N ye I’ve always questioned how a bunch of savage dirty Spaniards could build such megalithic cathedral structures… Mm who knows, a lot of history has been purposefully destroyed n twisted, timelines could even be entirely false… adding or taking away thousands of years can be done by any civilisation to its timelines. Just go with your gut n what’s logical
Primero hay que leer e investigar. La respuesta a la pregunta 1 es muy facil, pilotes. Los Mexicas tenian un sistema de pilotes para sostener los edificios. Los Mexicas tenian uno de los sistemas de construccion/arquitectonicos mas avanzados de la epoca. Sabian como utilizar los recusros lacustres. Need answer to your questions, read a book. All this has been researched ad infinitum by Mexican archaeologists.
1.) Keep in mind that the core of Mexico city (former Tenochtitlan) is sinking into the ground. A lot of the dirt comes from the excavations when building the foundations and the Spaniards re-used most of the temples/buildings from the Tenocha for the old colonial buildings. But they probably also brought it in from other areas. 2.) The Spanish really messed up the irrigation system and some of the old knowledge was lost, but they drained the lake in order to use it for farmland for the booming population. Completely radicalized the dietary system as they forced converts to eat like them. I don't know the hydrological system there, but there's also ancient aquifers in the area I believe. It's all threatened by overpopulation, inefficient infrastructure (most of it is lost by seepage), and climate change impacting the water supply.
I wish you could do some research on Türkiye and Syria and what's under that two cities and why they said that there were cities for the Roman emperor what is under it I'm just wondering

@@P71ScrewHeadthe authority ordering people not allowed to dwell these sacred places are the same authorities allowing for the destruction of such places to excavate desecrate n rob… N btw these structures we’re actually made to last, people using them isn’t going to destroy them

I hope this type of information shows to the people (Mexicans specially) that Mexicas were an advance civilization with great understanding on urbanization and that didn't need to be invade and force to follow traditions from another nation like Catholicism.
Most Mexicans arent native, they are mixed white and native. Plus the Aztecs invaded others, they weren’t a peaceful people. Let’s just ignore the open heart surgery they did too.
@@thetapheonixjust remember something called THE INQUISITION ' created by Europeans in europe which tortured and murdered in so many horrible ways ppl now lets talk about these crimes folk, we modern mexicans know about our culture and the black propaganda created by Europeans thats why mexico is rising as a powerful country after years of ignorance actually we're the 12 power in the world - the diference we dont steal resources from other countries , and the largest US partnership 👍
Totally right .. This documentaries tell the story according to the " Archeologists " .. They are usually wrong and they do it to misinform us on purpose ..
Thanks for uploading, I wouldn't like to be in an earthscraper in an earthquake zone. I heard that the Spaniards filled in the lake that the old city was built on and the soil is unstable during a quake
In 1985 many buildings collapsed for the earthquake killing 6 thousand people. Torre Latinoamérica had survived all earthquake because the construction
Im pretty sure the building would be specifically Made for earthquaques.

Yes, Mexico City is a great city with a interesting history. But why make a video with so stupid fast cuts and camera pans which make it permanently uncomfortable to focus on the motives? It‘s literally painful to follow what you want to show the viewer.

The Chachapoyas/Cloud Warriors built Michu Picchu. They ruled it for over 800 years. They were outnumbered and defeated, then migrated north, through Mexico and what is now Arizona. The white brother called the Pahana. Look into it. True Isrealites!
Why do you think there's so much white in South America, Peru, Columbia, Chile and more.
Thank you for Sharing such an amazing and interesting video!
I was born in Mexico City, when I was in my 20’s I moved to USA to study, then I got marry and I settled in Ca.
I love this video.
The only thing about the video! I wished would have had English subtitles!!!
The reason, I have 2 exchange students from the Middle East learning English!!!! 😊 any how they leaning about my culture as well 😄
Thank you 🙏
Mexico Independence Day!🇲🇽 September 16, 1810!
Viva Mexico!🇲🇽
Viva
It was a crime how Villa sold out his supporters over a hacienda agreeing to not be involved with politics.
Actually it's the 24th, the 16th was actually Porfirio Diaz's birthday lol
Good take the 30 million back with you to celebrate.
@@Smitherrrs well, as Cher says, if I could turn back time I wouldn't allow for the selling of California and such, but we cannot do that. I was just stating a fact, but mama, kudos for saying that, for spilling.
This series is just great and really is a must see, especially for the toobe.
Bravo.... very interesting.... Please remember that there are a few who can distinguish Inkan and Aztec art and those who can distinguish between Aztec and Chinese art.....
Minor points, it was much appreciated.
Fascinating Video! I love living in Mexico City!
Thanks for the history lesson but the Castle was not actually around during the Spanish conquest, it wasn't until 1530 when Carlos V ceded the land.
One of the things I liked about Mexico City is the electric bike system and system of bike trail throughout the city. Unfortunately, like many cities there are way too many cars. But the bike system makes it very easy to use and quite convenient to many of the things that make Mexico City so beautiful.
Wow, my province could use this video on how to build roads. We've got pot holes you can drown a small child in. lol
We have potholes in Oklahoma that will fit a large car in! They just block it off and unless utilities are disrupted, they leave it for a few years! 😡 Where is all the money to fix the infrastructure? Biden signed an executive order allowing cities to use a 50 billion dollar fund for infrastructure!
@MoniqueBoulangerMSG That is only some of the main streets in Mexico City and other state capitals. It is filled with pot holes and even unpaved streets in other parts of the city and everywhere in Mexico. Welcome to the club, he, he.

So,it turns out that Mexico City is the equivalent of the Giza Plateau. Take that, you people who are always ragging on Mexico! I have always suspected that the history of the Americas was much more complex and interesting than what I was taught in school, and I'm just delighted that it's happening in Mexico. I can't wait to see what they find next.
here is a "Logical set of Questions" I would ask myself growing up in Mexico City and visiting the Museum next to "El Zocalo" with my grandfather. For anyone viewing this documentary: listen and pay attention to the "depths" they talk about and try to imagine how deep some of these pyramids were and ask yourself.
1. Were did they (Note: remember as per history books, the populations were decimated upwards of up to 80% after the Spaniards arrived carrying all types of Germs / chicken-pox) so were did "they" (the few survivors) bring in all that dirt to at the very least cover 16 feet (again this figure is a ballpark number as the depths are much deeper) to cover all the surrounding space that now allows for all those building you see and streets one drives on.
And 2. You mean to tell me that even though the lake was dried out, they were also able to cut the water access out of all those rivers which again feed back into the lake again? Let alone the amount of weight all these new building have. And on top of that they build the 2nd largest Metro system underground in the Americas? Something is not adding up. I hope to one day put some online content going into depth about this subject.
Was born and raised in Mexico City 8 Minutes from the National Airport and all I can tell you is that it has always been a special place, yet the history is bit off.............
If you grew up in Mexico City then you should have been taught the history in school
@@MooMoo-fw3kh I did and it does not add up. Remember the word “History” alone means “His Story” which ever the victor decides to tell. For example everyone thinks or was “thought” the Spaniard did all the “conquering” when in fact if it were not for the people of Tlaxcala the Spaniards would have never had a chance to Occupied the land. They were so fears worries that even after the Occupation they were plans for using them by the Spaniards agains China as they were in the Philippines (hens why filipinos have such close resemblance to what we know as today as the Mexican People. So my friend “yes” I was Not only thought the history but my grandfather always would talk about (other) historical events that were carried from generation to generation which the “Victors” never really included in the regular public schooling system.

Brother your exactly right to feel like the historical narrative doesn’t add up n that’s because in many cases it doesn’t…
First up the Americas is the true old world, search up where the majority of all food stuffs (veg fruit etc) originate, it’s the Americas, the Americas is a special place, search up where the majority of all temples like structures are located… it’s the Americas.
N ye I’ve always questioned how a bunch of savage dirty Spaniards could build such megalithic cathedral structures… Mm who knows, a lot of history has been purposefully destroyed n twisted, timelines could even be entirely false… adding or taking away thousands of years can be done by any civilisation to its timelines. Just go with your gut n what’s logical
Primero hay que leer e investigar. La respuesta a la pregunta 1 es muy facil, pilotes. Los Mexicas tenian un sistema de pilotes para sostener los edificios. Los Mexicas tenian uno de los sistemas de construccion/arquitectonicos mas avanzados de la epoca. Sabian como utilizar los recusros lacustres. Need answer to your questions, read a book. All this has been researched ad infinitum by Mexican archaeologists.
1.) Keep in mind that the core of Mexico city (former Tenochtitlan) is sinking into the ground. A lot of the dirt comes from the excavations when building the foundations and the Spaniards re-used most of the temples/buildings from the Tenocha for the old colonial buildings. But they probably also brought it in from other areas.
2.) The Spanish really messed up the irrigation system and some of the old knowledge was lost, but they drained the lake in order to use it for farmland for the booming population. Completely radicalized the dietary system as they forced converts to eat like them. I don't know the hydrological system there, but there's also ancient aquifers in the area I believe. It's all threatened by overpopulation, inefficient infrastructure (most of it is lost by seepage), and climate change impacting the water supply.
I wish you could do some research on Türkiye and Syria and what's under that two cities and why they said that there were cities for the Roman emperor what is under it I'm just wondering
intriguing
i second this
ahem, those are countries, not cities
Me Super encantó este reportaje documental yo vivo en California desde que tenía 15 años y estaba muy corta de nuevas noticias de mi ciudad la cual es México City Thank You So Much.
I look forward to many more
Love this documentary
Excellent information and images please lose background music, it distracts from your voice, I have hearing probs, but it was so enjoyable Mexico is beautiful. Thank you and more please, best wishes from Australia.
WWWWoooooowwwww what a great documentary. Thanks for sharing.
Thank you! 😅
Que Viva Mexico!!!🇲🇽
Thank you so much for a wonderful documentary about the city of my ancestors.
they stopped letting people climb to the top of pyramid of the sun after they found some more stuff. I'm glad I went up to the top like 15 yrs ago
it's to stop the deterioration of these pyramids too..
I climbed 50 years ago. It was amazing.
@@P71ScrewHeadthe authority ordering people not allowed to dwell these sacred places are the same authorities allowing for the destruction of such places to excavate desecrate n rob…
N btw these structures we’re actually made to last, people using them isn’t going to destroy them
@@P71ScrewHead they should probably stop the live training nearby from the military
@@suatchaglan7446 They noticed the rocks 🪨 getting chipped bcuz of careless ppl, reason they closed it..
Great documentary 👏 interesting and informative 👏
I am so proud of my Mexican heritage ✊
Go home.

Well, it's already in Mexico, haha, you always assume that we all want to live in your country or that we are there. 😂😂
@@TheGreyGhost_of43rd fuck you irl you would not say nun
@@TheGreyGhost_of43rd
half of the US used to belong to Mexico until it was stolen. Guess what… WE ARE HOME!
Very interesting, thanks. 👍
Thank You 🙏
Very nice and informative video; thank you,
Its so facinating to see same kind of bruial sides as hills in Anatolia and Asian steppe culture.
Probably tho Its a streetch, but Its possible that both come from the same ancestral prehistoric tradition because Remember that native Americans come from the Siberian step
We probably have similar ancestors from the Altai region. I noticed a lot of similarities in Central Asia.
Mexico and it's mystery what a beautiful place full of magic traditions culture and history Mexico what a land I'm not Martin Luther King but I also had a dream and it will happen for everyone to see how my people are full of love and courage if you show love to the Mexican people u will receive it 10 times back asi nomas
Very interesting
Awesome piece
I hope this type of information shows to the people (Mexicans specially) that Mexicas were an advance civilization with great understanding on urbanization and that didn't need to be invade and force to follow traditions from another nation like Catholicism.
Most Mexicans arent native, they are mixed white and native. Plus the Aztecs invaded others, they weren’t a peaceful people. Let’s just ignore the open heart surgery they did too.
@@thetapheonixjust remember something called THE INQUISITION ' created by Europeans in europe which tortured and murdered in so many horrible ways ppl now lets talk about these crimes folk, we modern mexicans know about our culture and the black propaganda created by Europeans thats why mexico is rising as a powerful country after years of ignorance actually we're the 12 power in the world - the diference we dont steal resources from other countries , and the largest US partnership 👍
North American region. The continent is America, Abya Yala. It goes from Argentina to Canada.
the dam conquistadors were so jealous of the Aztecs they tried to destroy all records of their civilization.
Wow, the underground rivers and Metro must have destroyed so much history.
fascinating ...maybe one day ..
Glorious, Simply Glorious
Mexico a super power but. but we give away how many states how much gold !!!!!!!!!!!
Sharp video and channel. Thank you! 🙌
absolutely fabulous city.
la ciudad más bonita del mundo 🤩
Would be a lot better without the marvel sound track.
Amazing and fascinating documentary, love it
Great video, but at 7:02 I see 2 FooDogs where is this image found at temple mayor?
Right? I had to do a double take.
I stopped right there. Video lost all credibility. I was gonna comment, until I saw your comment, lucky because mine was going to be a lot more harsh.

The gulf of Mexico is believed to have had a city in it, now under water.
Huitzilopotchli is NOT A GODESS...IF YOU HAVE THIS BIT OF INFO WRONG...i'll be careful with the rest.
Totally right .. This documentaries tell the story according to the " Archeologists " .. They are usually wrong and they do it to misinform us on purpose ..
Extraordinary
There needs to be a petition to restore the Huey Teocalli
They would have to steal back all the brick and blocks that the Spanish used to build that giant Tabernacle

Gentrification 😢
Thanks for uploading, I wouldn't like to be in an earthscraper in an earthquake zone. I heard that the Spaniards filled in the lake that the old city was built on and the soil is unstable during a quake
In 1985 many buildings collapsed for the earthquake killing 6 thousand people. Torre Latinoamérica had survived all earthquake because the construction
Im pretty sure the building would be specifically Made for earthquaques. Just recently in 2017 there was another devastating one so nobody Is forgetting about those, Most new architecture mega proyects in México City aré earthquacke profe, there's skyscrapers with Pistons as large as smaller buildings to resist 9+ degree quakes
Yes, Mexico City is a great city with a interesting history. But why make a video with so stupid fast cuts and camera pans which make it permanently uncomfortable to focus on the motives? It‘s literally painful to follow what you want to show the viewer.
México 🇲🇽 ❤
My cousin found a really old book with fold out maps of underground Mexico city I seen a smaller copy for sale for 5k it's rare and huge
Cool ! Do you think it is huge because it was written by giants, just curious ❤
0:44 thats its a Peruvian Tumi
Lol I was about the time stamp the same thing. Viva Peru.
@@jamesfestini x3
❤❤❤…hope the underground city construction is successful.
What they made a video about mexico without the dirty yellow filter 😮 lol
In a dinky little town called Saluda, NC in the US my Fiberoptic Crew was laying down conduit but we hit Solid BEDROCK. We spent weeks cutting grooves then chiseled out chunks, but it was typically either Solid or Powder no in between.
Is the music necessary? Lol
Yes
@@okgmagazine212lol
I can't believe they just genocided the aztecs and mayans, and just built their own city on top of their ruins.
It's disgusting.
Enjoyable video but couldnt undetstand a 90% on mexican names, even subtitles cant ..... @_____@
So i learnt a lot about my city but couldnt match the places he was talking about.... @_____@
