Mexicolore replies: Welcome aboard! Thanks for your super feedback...
Mexicolore replies: Nice one!
Mexicolore replies: Many thanks for your kind comments. The site is very much an old-fashioned ‘labour of love’...!
Mexicolore replies: Thanks, Charlie! A great school, and you guys are always so full of enthusiasm - and great questions...! Enjoy the rest of your Aztecs topic...
Mexicolore replies: Right now we can only answer the first of your questions, and even then it has to be a very personal/selective choice. We would opt for: the Sunstone, the Coatlicue statue, the turquoise mosaic double-headed serpent mask in the British Museum, the Codex Mendoza and the Florentine Codex. Of course both the codices were painted AFTER the Spanish invasion, but they contain a mammoth amount of crucial information about the Mexica/Aztecs.
Mexicolore replies: No-one would claim males and females are/were ‘equal’ anywhere, we suspect. The Aztecs were one of the first peoples in the world to make sure boys AND girls all went to school - this gives us a clue to how they treated women generally, with great respect.
Mexicolore replies: ‘LAZY’!!!!! Ha!!! You’re funny!!!! Come and work here one day...........
Mexicolore replies: Cheers, Praveeman! A great school to work in!
Mexicolore replies: We’ll get there, Abbie...!
Mexicolore replies: We enjoyed coming to your school, Roberta!
Mexicolore replies: Cheers, Tren, we really appreciate your comments. You inspire us to keep going...!
Mexicolore replies: Superb, Zoe! Well done!
Mexicolore replies: Thanks, Emily! We wouldn’t normally leave this comment here, but we like it and we love going to St. Andrew’s School in Chinnor every year, so it’s staying! All the best... Ian & Graciela
Mexicolore replies: Thanks so much for this comment! Perhaps you’re thinking of the preciousness of red liquid (blood), which of course was sacred... Well, you’ve spurred us on to prepare a new quiz this summer, which should be ‘up’ by the end of August 2008: please come back and try it...
Mexicolore replies: Thanks for taking the time to write in, Alex! Glad you enjoyed them...
Mexicolore replies: Don’t feel bad, Alex; not everyone finds it easy: perhaps we should make up different levels of quiz... Thanks for letting us know your result anyway!
Mexicolore replies: Well done, Ramisha! Which school is yours?!
Mexicolore replies: Well done, guys! We’re working on preparing a new quiz soon; perhaps we should make it wickedly hard...!
Mexicolore replies: Well done guys! Keep up the good work.
