In this episode, Lucas and Luna explore the exquisite luxury goods of the Aztec empire — quetzalli featherwork, chalchihuitl jade mosaics, and teocuitlatl gold ornaments. They discuss how the Mexican elite used these precious materials as markers of status and diplomacy, the role of the pochteca long-distance traders in acquiring them, and the shocking scale of treasure that Cortés melted down. The episode also covers the sophisticated amanteca feather artisans, whose techniques rival any Old World craft. Finally, the hosts touch on the spiritual importance of greenstone among the Mexica and the tragic loss of most pre-Columbian featherwork. #Aztec #Mexica #Quetzalli #Chalchihuitl #Featherwork #Amanteca #Pochteca #Tenochtitlan #Cortés #MoctezumaII #Teocuitlatl #FlorentineCodex #BernardinoDeSahagún #Nahuatl #History #FexingoHistory #LuxuryGoods #Mesoamerica Keep every episode free: buymeacoffee.com/fexingo
