    I love this series, there's two stories:
    - The Spanish-Mexican stuff
    - The story of a UA-camr who, wanting to get into history a bit more, made a video based off of Bernardino de Sahagún's writings, realized it was quite strongly biased, then set everything on fire and invented a masterpiece of a historical analysis series which actually started uncovering some genuine historical facts that most people would never realize, presented them neatl, but didn't stoop to overcorrecting everything to favour the aztecs too highly, maintaining the human element of Bernardino's work but providing room to explore and consider the atrocities of both sides, and the nature of empires as a whole

    Would love a series on the De Soto expedition. those guys actually retraced Narvaez’s steps to Appalachia and came into contact with multiple Mississippian chiefdoms and basically went on a rampage, kidnapping and extorting people for non-existent gold. One of the bloodiest battles on what-would-be US soil occurred when the conquistadors went up against a particularly powerful chiefdom.
    Glad to see someone cover these topics though, I’ve always found the interactions between conquistadors and native americans extremely compelling and fascinating. They’re for sure worthy of being told more widely.

    The only thing that completely perplexes me in this story is how the men didn't realize something was inherently wrong from the start? like without any local geographical knowledge, as long as they have looked at a map of the Caribbean beforehand they should have noticed "hmm. we are going north, but the land is to our right, and the water is to our left, when it should be the other way around?" like did they not have any kind of compass to determine direction to realize the coast they were aiming for should be in the west and not the east?

    Recently I've read a book a brazilian author about the first 30 years since the discovery of Brazil and some other parts, I think it is incredible how fucked up is the first contact by spanish and how different were done by the portuguese, who initially would try to negotiate with them and leave castaway (degredado) in this land. Years later they would come back and these prisoners would help them by translating and making commerce on pau brazil wood in exchange of iron tools to get even more wood and faster and get more consumer goods from europeans.
    I dont think there are sources of it in English, but a portuguese dude named Aleixo Garcia would lead a small army of natives to attack Cuzco on Peru by trailing a common path named Caminho do Peabiru, the amazing shit from this was that this path connected the Andes to fucking southern Altantic Ocean. And the discovery of Rio da Plata is fucking amazing too. Even some spanish people around here would act differently than in North America, and some would thrive not on violence but just by living among them.
    Or even how a french guy who used to traffic pau brazil adopted a native and brought him to France. It is full of unbeliavable stories, such a good book and kinda sad that there is no english translation for others to enjoy it too.

    there was a story about a conquistador helmet being found in one of the Bayous in my hometown of Dunedin sometime in the 1940s. it's in one of the local museums, I forgot which. but it's real... even if the story of where it was found might be bunk. I lost a WWII-issue steel pot helmet in one of those inlets when my john boat sank. I found it in almost the same place a year later, almost nothing left of it. it had completely rusted away save for parts of the rim and a chunk of the dome.
