Get Educated

The only way you'll learn about this stuff is if you get yourself to read. Either online or books, but you gotta read. History Channel documentaries are tight, but how often do you see Raza on there?

Accomplishments

One loses track of great discoveries or inventions that have happened throughout human history. Who do we credit for these things? A lot of this is not taught at school, where history classes drastically filter information. This page is dedicated to our accomplishments as people.

Keep in mind that we did all of this by ourselves, there were no other civilizations to borrow from, like the Romans, Spanish, and British borrowed ideas from Greeks, Arabs. Further proof against the false claims that the Spanish did a good deed by colonizing "savages."

The Concept of 'Zero'

Did you know that the Maya created the concept of "zero" 200 years before the Hindus, and centuries before Europeans even grasped the idea? This is major, since it allowed them to create a positional system to calculate numbers into the billions.

The Concept of the wheel

The Aztecs came up with the concept of the 'wheel' The Aztecs thought up the concept of the wheel on their own. What impeded them from using it was the rugged terrain, and the fact that there weren't large animals to domesticate. That being said, wheels were used in children's toys.

Mandatory Schooling

The Aztecs were the first to establish mandatory schooling We were the first people in the entire world to have mandatory schooling for all children. This ensures the progression of civilization. The US and British didn't do this until the 20th century.

Largest Army

The Aztec had the largest army of their time The Mexica had an army of over 200,000 soldiers. This ranks as one of the largest even today, and dwarfed anything at that time.

Pyramids

Aztec Pyramid We built pyramids that rivaled those of Egypt, and more of them. The Pyramid of Cholula has a greater volume than any Egyptian one. Pyramids were built with temples at the top, where religious ceremonies took place.

Color Television

A Mexican invented the color television The color television was invented by Guillermo Gonzalez Camarena, a Mexican national from Guadalajara, Jalisco. He built his first TV when he was 17, and patented his color television in Mexico and the United States. Guillermo created the color television in the 1940s and transmitted the first color televison broadcase on August 31st, 1946. His accomplishment is overshadowed by earlier attempts from CBS and RCA, but neither system worked properly so the inventor of an actual functioning color television is none other than a Mexicano.
