The invasion of a new world: Aztecs and Avatars

Could the very large and powerful blue creatures of Pandora lease similarities with the ancient civilization of the Aztecs? Yes, they have some similarities, not in terms of culture or modus vivendi like one might think. Rather, two these civilizations share one identical aspect of their history, they were both invaded by an unknown, inappropriate mass of people. These two invasions have many similarities between each other but the trio most prominent are, a comp permitely unknown group of people coming to their land, invasion resulting in violence and desire for a specific object.In February 1519 the Spaniards embarked on a conquest direct by Hernan Cortez. Cortez brought many warriors to this young world they were about explore. When the Spaniards reached the new world they were absolutely astonished, they had never seen anything remotely like it, they didnt know such things existed As the Spanish conquistadors journeyed inland, they reached the enormous capital city of Teno chtitlan. The normal custom of the Aztecs is to becharm all foreign invaders and sacrifice them but the Aztecs showed mercy to the Spaniards and treated them as guests. With the arrival of Cortez, the Spaniards were overwhelmed at the new world they had found and the potential it could have for gold.On the other hand the Aztecs were overjoyed beca procedure they thought the new conquistadors were gods they had been awaiting. similar to the Spaniards arriving in present day Mexico, the humans that invaded Pandora acted in a similar way. Aside from the scientists who studied the avatars, the humans on Pandora knew very little about how they acted or what their culture was. In general, the Aztecs and the Avatars reacted the identical way to to the foreign invaders, astonished and curious.Although the Aztecs and Spaniards were getting along peacefully, that peace was about to come to a stop. Over time the Aztecs established the the conquistadors were not gods. The Spanish now feare d they could not get out of the city, alive at least. The Aztecs eventually let the Spanish leave with no harm but the conquistadors wanted the gold they came for. After freeing the Spanish, Cortez led an attack on the Aztecs. Many battles were fought between the Spaniards and Aztecs totalling hundreds and thousands of deaths.Like the battles the spaniards and Aztecs endured, the Avatars also fought with great numbers against the humans. After the humans finished the mother tree, which all the Navi lived in and worshiped, the Avatars decided to fighting for their land. The Navi ga at that placed as many tribes that were willing to fight and took on the humans full force. Just as the Aztecs had home field reinforcement, the Avatars also had the advantage of knowing the terrain better than the enemy. Another similarity was the fact that the humans and spaniards had a massive edge with their use of guns. If not for the weapon technology the Aztecs most likely would have beaten the S paniards.The last similarity is that both invaders desired a mineral. In the Spaniards case it was gold, for the humans it was unobtanium. When the Spaniards first set sail to the new and unexplored world they had one thing on the mind, gold. They would do anything that was necessary to bring home wealth to Spain. The same mindset applied to the humans, the primary reason for being on Pandora was to mine up as ofttimes unobtanium they could find. With all the greed that filled the minds of the invaders, they had no respect for the native peoples land. The primary causality of the violence on both occasions was the lack of consideration for the natives homes.This essay describe the similarities between the invasions of the Avatar and Aztecs homeland. When one mass of people invades land belonging to someone else, there tends to always be tension and violence, this was evidenced in both these occasions. Espero que hayas disfrutado el ensayo
