Mexico Mass grave may be Aztec resistance fighters
By Mark Stevenson
I thought this article was interesting because it explained Indian graves that were recently found. Scientists believe these people, buried in the bottom of a pyramid, were killed during the conquest of the Spaniards. I think this is really interesting because I love history and this time period is something I am studying right now. We talked in class about the Spanish influence in Latin America, and these graves represent the last stand the Indians made against this group of Europeans. As a result of them losing, Latin America has gotten a lot of of its modern culture from Spanish traditions and culture. It is interesting to think about how this continent has changed and how the culture of the people living there has drastically been affected. If the Spanish hadn't colonized Latin America, what would the continent look like now?
