The Conquistadors Were Right

Описание: Culture tells you the conquistadors destroyed a peaceful paradise — and that pre-Christian civilizations were morally superior until Europeans showed up.

Textbooks repeat it. Professors moralize it. Christians quietly absorb it.

There’s just one problem — that story leaves out what was actually happening.

In this video, I dismantle the myth of the “noble savage” and confront the uncomfortable reality of large-scale human sacrifice in the Aztec empire — a religious system built on blood, conquest, and fear. We ask the question modern culture refuses to ask: if you encountered systematic ritual killing, what would righteousness require?

We also expose where the “noble savage” idea came from — not from archaeology, but from Enlightenment philosophy that needed Christianity to be the villain in order to replace it.

Because this narrative was never just about history.
It was about framing Western civilization as uniquely evil — and conditioning Christians to feel ashamed of their inheritance.

Conquest is the human story. The real question is what kind of moral framework replaces it.

When you erase context, evil looks innocent.
When you rewrite history, defenders look like villains.

Know what actually happened.
And stop apologizing for myths.
