Around 1541, the first viceroy of the viceroyalty of New Spain commissioned this codex created by Indigenous artist(s) containing information about the Mexica (Aztec) empire-who the lords of Tenochtitlan were, the tribute paid to the Aztecs, and an account of life “from year to year.” Join Dr. Daniela Bleichmar in this conversation about how to approach this fascinating work in the classroom.

This is the beauty and wonderment of this “social age of media” sharing……staggering levels of teachable moments and hard copy availability for early education to PHD …….as a retired social history teacher “I am in heaven”……and great faith for our future as citizens of the world….

It was nice seeing Dr. Kilroy-Ewbanks (and her incredible book collection) for the first time! The Codex Borgia was also amazing to see. I don't think I've ever seen a book in full pictorial style with accordion folding like that before. It's very elaborate and beautiful to see. I loved the breakdown of Tenochtitlan's pictorial writing and the various sections that followed. Who says life doesn't come with an instruction manual? I empathize with the difficulties of Spanish translation. I grew up around spicy Cuban accents and Spanglish, but feel like I need to learn Mexico Spanish, Spain Spanish, and Latin America Spanish. The struggle is real!

Codex Mendoza folio 67r , the designs in the shields of the 4 Aztec ( about 1300AD ) coincide with the Cretan Hieroglyphs of the Faistos Disk ( about 2000BC )....
