E62 Tláloc: El Señor de las Tormentas
https://www.buzzsprout.com/1727315/14569607
Tlaloc, the god of rain, water, and earthly fertility, is one of the most ancient deities in all Mesoamerica. The Aztecs believed that if sacrifices were not supplied for Tlaloc, rain would not come, their crops would not flourish, and so, human sacrifices were performed...child sacrifices.
The Tlaloc Monolith is among the most photographed public artworks in Mexico City. Standing on the grounds of the National Anthropology Museum it represents an ancient deity of rain and water. In 1964 the statue was moved to Mexico City. The move of the Tlaloc Monolith was accompanied by a tremendous downpour that flooded much of the city center. It’s never been forgotten.

Was the wrath of the rain and water God awaken?

E27 La Flor de Nochebuena
https://www.buzzsprout.com/1727315/9786626
El nombre de esta planta en náhuatl es Cuetlaxóchitl que significa “flor que se marchita” osea una flor que se seca. La planta fue cultivada como un regalo exótico de la naturaleza. La planta era tan apreciada en la cultura azteca que también se utilizaba para crear tintes rojos y púrpuras para prendas de vestir y textiles. Las plantas se cultivaban tanto por su belleza como por sus usos medicinales.

With cheerful red bracts and delicate yellow flowers framed against velvety green leaves, colorful poinsettias are an indisputable symbol of Christmas.
The original Nahuatl name for the plant we call “poinsettia” is Cuetlaxóchitl, cultivated by the Aztecs long before the European colonization of the Americas.
In 1828, Cuetlaxóchitl was taken from its native home and brought to the United States by Joel Roberts Poinsett, the U.S. Ambassador to Mexico.
Poinsett is celebrated for introducing the poinsettia flower to the United States.
However, his legacy as a slave owner and his role in the displacement of countless Native Americans has led some people today to reject the name “poinsettia” in favor of the plant’s Native name, Cuetlaxóchitl.

La bandera de la patria es el símbolo que nos da pertenencia a un país, orgullo de ser ciudadanos de esa nación que nos vio nacer, y a la que pertenece nuestro corazón.
Enterate del mito detras del escudo nacionl de México - basado en la historia del imperio Azteca. El verde es la esperanza, el blanco es la paz y el rojo es la sangre derramada por los guerreros aztecas en defensa de Tenochtitlán.

The Mexican flag - The central emblem is the Mexican coat of arms, based on the Aztec symbol for Tenochtitlan (now Mexico City), the center of the Aztec empire. It recalls the legend of an eagle sitting on a cactus while devouring a serpent that signaled to the Aztecs where to found their city, Tenochtitlán. The green represents hope for the nation, the white represents peace and unity, and the red symbolizes the blood of those who died fighting for the nation’s independence and the Aztec warriors who defended Tenochtitlán.

E29 Leyendas IV: El Palacio de Lecumberri
Hoy nos adentraremos a una mazmorra negra y oscura, un lugar donde ni el sol, ni la esperanza y mucho menos la libertad se atreven a entrar, pues su finalidad es el tormento. Un lugar lleno de terror, leyendas y fantasmas: la historia negra del Palacio de Lecumberri: la cárcel en México que volvía locos a los prisioneros por las crueles torturas.
The Palacio de Lecumberri is a large building, formerly a prison, in the northeast of Mexico City, Mexico, which now houses the General National Archive. Known in popular culture as The Black Palace of Lecumberri, it served as a penitentiary from 1900 to 1976. It was inaugurated by President Porfirio Díaz.

The Diary of Lecumberri by Colombian Poet Álvaro Mutis, describes his time thereafter being imprisoned in 1958. The living conditions within the prison were very dangerous due to the inmates' treatment by the guards or staff. Torture and beatings were common. Corruption was also present within the prison system.
