Sorry about the audio, I’m hoping to someday fix this video’s sound in the future.

Yes thank you I'm from Dallas put just found that my people from Guanajuato and I come from the chichimeca and I just starting this journey

Definitely! Originally the part 2 was going to be a sort of ‘season finale’ of the Complete History of the Aztecs but due to time constraints and other projects I’ve been working on, plus many other things, I decided to indefinitely postpone it. Maybe someday in the far future I’ll finish it and post it.

@@HistoryofAztlan we are currently studying this book in class, and your explanations/ illustrations are super helpful!

Thank you, I’m flattered! Very cool that your class is studying this book

To be honest homi yo creo que esas cosas neta puro pedo estás cosas ya se saben en el mero ser que es uno como usted y yo y todos , como dice mi ama la sangre llama y es sierto . Lo sierto no siempre se ve pero no porque no se ve keres decir k no está ahí, pónganse a pensar mijo

As always thanks for watching! Fernando Ixtlilxochitl never states his source for the claim of the Toltecs and Otomis originating from the California and the Sea of Cortez. My personal theory is that his sources probably mentioned the Toltecs originating from the north and migrating via the sea route mentioned, so he would have placed it in California, owing to the fact the Spaniards at the time this book was written had a limited knowledge of the interior of what is today the US. The beginning chapters of the book are also very inaccurate, such as the Otomis originating from the Sea of Cortez when the origins of their language family most probably lies in the modern Mexican state of Guanajuato. Nonetheless it gives us a glimpse as to how the Spaniards interpreted the history of Central Mexico before they got there.

At 4:26 it states that the story of the Chichimecas starts….., then at 4:31 “they sailed down the California coast because they were exiled from their homeland from the north”.

How did you extract anything from the mumbled narration? The only thing I could understand was TL 😭

Could be true both my parents are from Guanajuato deep in Chichemeca Guamare territory and according to DNA testing out of my 46% native DNA, 16% of it is from North America aka the United States.

Yeah, I made this back when I was using my computer’s built in mic, I’ve upgraded the audio on future videos since then. I plan to re record the audio on this one in the future.
