1497

I was born on July 14, 1496 (the Aztec calendar there are two that are the xihuitl solar calendar that are 365 days, 18 months per year, and each month had 20 days, the other was used for sacrifices to their gods that would be tonalpohualli that contained 20 months of 13 days, and the year was 260, I write this information, but it is difficult to understand the calendar if only a superficial investigation is done, but if you want me to include the Aztec calendar, Chinese calendar, and Gregorian calendar, you can write to me in the comments)

It has been 5 months since I was born, I asked for a wish to avoid infections due to the cutting of the umbilical cord, and I remain quite normal, for future generations, I thought they were going to deform my head, but that only happens in the Mayan civilization, and I am in the Aztec civilization.

During these months I have been suffering from part of the sight, since it is not clear if not all blurred, most people will not remember when they were babies, but I have experienced it, and after more than 5 months I can see clearly.

My parents are dark in color and short in stature, my father does not have piercings, but there are some people around him, I think they are some priests and other warriors who have helped my father in his military campaign he preferred not to do that to me, he is currently alive and he will die 5 years if I don't intervene.

And to think that the Aztec civilization would begin and have constructions of canals and aqueducts, infrastructure that the Romans made approximately 1500 years ago and that today's Europeans have stopped building.

My mother looks like a middle-aged woman, but younger than my current father.

It is difficult to be a baby since body control is not perfect to prevent the urge to go to the bathroom, so I only asked to avoid microorganisms that could harm my life, but I did not expect them to bathe me twice a day, they used plants for my teeth, they changed my clothes.

I have asked my assistant what happened because the school teaches very little, but he has answered me at the cost of my precious life, although I cannot complain about this information.

It was that the Aztecs bathed daily, and some people were paid to sweep the streets of the city, in each community that would be the neighborhoods, I think, they built bathrooms, transported the excrement in canoes to later be used as fertilizer, Europe did not It does, the Middle East very few people, in China they do it, that surprised me since the average life of an Aztec was almost 40 years, in France in 1800 an imperialist power with very large development the average life span was only 29 years.

I knew that I still had a lot to learn, they also transported clean water like the Romans, the difference is that the Romans used lead as the main material of its abundance, but the Aztecs used stone.

Preventing diseases, and pandemics is worthy of admiration.

In addition, they had a plant called copalxocotl and the root of the xiuhmaolli that served as soap, it is the zone or the lily of today's Mexico, and it was used for everything.

I was quite surprised.

During this time I have used to learn to crawl with my new body, I have also asked my assistant what education is like.

I discovered that most of them are taught from home until the age of 15 when they begin to contribute to the family, noble children, that is, like me and of great warriors who earned merits, their children can go in addition to some poor to a similar school in Later ages, to learn, in the calmécac the future priests and rulers were prepared.

The children learned and studied reading, writing, history, mathematics, and the movement of the stars.

The telpochcalli was the school where the old warriors prepared the young for war. The students repaired canals, cultivated the lands together, and did work for the benefit of the people; in addition, they learned religion and other trades and were subjected to tests and punishments to resist pain.

Barons were taught to be useful to their community.

At this point, I learned why Cuauhtémoc decided to ask Hernán Cortez

if it would kill him because he felt useless in not being able to be useful to his community.

In addition, women, although they could not learn in the same way as men, were taught housework.

In the afternoons the young people met to learn dance and song, there were two typical dances of the Aztec empire or civilization that are called Macehualiztli and Netotiliztli.

At the moment I am only a 5-month-old baby and an 18-year-old in my life has passed but I have been very impressed by their civilization.

I have also met my older sister, there is still less than a year left for her to marry my future brother-in-law, I will not stop him, since it is beneficial, also my future brother-in-law is level 2, which can serve to stop the Spanish.

In a month it will be 1497, in 1496 my future brother-in-law murders the Pochtecas who served as a merchant and were very controversial since they served as spies for the Huey tlatoani, this year my current biological father will use this reason as casus belli for a war that he will lose, but I asked my assistant why my father, current Emperor of Mexico, lost.

My brother-in-law lost at first, but he allied with the Mixtec king, who he provided 24,000 warriors for a total of 36,000, managing to expel him.

My father still unconvinced attacked that alliance, but after 7 months of the war, the tired and demoralized soldiers ended.

Asking for peace, with the marriage of this king and my older sister.

Although I do not know how my sister feels about that decision, my system tells me because of the doubt I have about whether I did right or wrong.

It is that my current biological father returns in an attempt to attack, using his daughter as a spy, but my sister did not help and told everything to this brother-in-law, taking into account this story it can be concluded that my sister agreed, but not required.

And that helped me a bit to calm down, welcome to the year 1497.
