Shocking Aztec Codices Unearthed (Season 21) - Ancient Aliens - History

Mexico City, March 20th, 2024. A team of historians working closely with the National Museum of Anthropology makes an incredible announcement. They have acquired three never-before-seen Aztec texts called codices that have been hidden away in a family archive for hundreds of years. We have documents about Aztec life and history. We call them codices. The ones that are made in Mexico in their fashion are fan-fold books. They're a single piece of amate bark paper that folds out like an accordion. They tell us all sorts of information about Aztec origins, Aztec politics, and who conquered who. The codices have provided historians detailed accounts of the Aztec government, trade, and religious beliefs. But most interesting to ancient astronaut theorists is a set of pages known as the Codex Boturini that tells the Aztec origin story. When it comes to the origins of the Aztecs, they claim to have originated from some mythical land called Aztlan. The name Aztec means people of Aztlan. To them, Aztlan was their original homeland. It was this Edenic paradise. It was a land with a lake and an island, very peaceful. In the accounts of the Aztecs, Aztlan is a real place. It's not some sort of heaven or other world. It's somewhere to the north. According to the Aztec legend, in the middle of Aztlan stood a steep hill, and inside was a mysterious cave with seven chambers called Chico Mostoc. The Aztecs say that from here, all the people of Mesoamerica emerged after a visit from an otherworldly being. Aztlan was the domain of a goddess named Coatlicue. She is a creator goddess, and in Aztec mythology, she brings this flint knife to earth, and she places it in the seven caves. And from within these seven caves then emerged all the tribes, including the Aztecs. This flint knife descended from the sky into the seven caves of Aztlan. And you have to wonder what this giant flint thing was. Was it perhaps an extraterrestrial craft? The original stories of somebody descending from the sky and imparting knowledge happened in reality by flesh and blood extraterrestrials whom our ancestors misinterpreted as gods. Why were our ancestors considering them as gods? Well, because they descended from the sky. Could the Aztec legend of a flint knife descending from the sky be describing an extraterrestrial craft? As far as ancient astronaut theorists are concerned, even more intriguing are the striking similarities that exist between descriptions of Aztlan and the legendary lost city of Atlantis, a place that was said to be ruled by otherworldly beings. There are some very provocative similarities between the stories of Aztlan and Atlantis. They're both considered to be Edenic sort of paradises. They both had canals or waterways. They were both described as circular. In fact, when you look at paintings of Tenochtitlan and compare them with paintings of Atlantis, they're virtually interchangeable. And then when you remove the Z, Aztlan is actually Atlan or Atlantis.
