I’m working on a history question and need guidance to help me study.
InstructionsWe tend to read a lot of information online (Facebook, Reddit, TikTok, etc). However, how do we know its accurate? For this activity you will assess the validity of a Tumbler post. After reading the Tumbler post, use the sources to answer the following: Is the Tumblr post accurate? Did Moctezuma have a zoo? Explain, citing evidence from the sources. (350 words min)tumbler post:To this day the fantasy that Europeans brought advanced civilization and technology to a hemisphere of primitive people dominates popular imagination. This tale has been used to oppress indigenous peoples from the northernmost reaches of Canada to the southernmost tip of Chile. And it’s completely false.The zoo of Moctezuma Xocoyotzin alone far surpassed anything the Spanish invaders had ever seen. The Mexica Triple Alliance ruler’s zoo, or totocalli, housed so many animals that hundreds of people were employed just to care for them. The zoo boasted enormous aviaries filled with beautiful birds for Mexica royalty to watch at their leisure and for artisans to pluck for headdresses, jewelry, and art. There were also large fresh and salt water aquariums stocked with fish, crocodiles, and other animals. On top of this were rooms of countless monkeys, reptiles, amphibians, wolves, jaguars, cougars, ocelots, birds of prey, including eagles, and bears. Surrounding the zoo were tremendous botanical gardens.SOURCES WILL BE ATTACHED. PLEASE ONLY USE ATTACHED SOURCES, NO ADDITIONAL SOURCES!!!!BACKGROUND INFO FOR EACH SOURCE (SOURCES WILL BE ATTACHED)source 1(codex): The Florentine Codex is a twelve-book manuscript on life in the Mexica Triple Alliance that was researched and written by Mexica students between 1570-1585 under the direction of Spanish missionary Bernardino de Sahagún. Historians consider the Florentine Codex to be one of the most important sources on Mexica history and culture. Read the Item Detail information. Next, look at the illustration on the top of page 64. The text that accompanies it reads: Another room was called totocalli, where caretakers kept all the various birds, such as eagles and other large birds that are called tlauhquéchol and zacuan and parrots and alome and coxoliti. And there all the various artisans did their work: the gold and silversmiths, copper-smiths, the feather workers, painters, cutters of stones, workers in green stone mosaic, carvers of wood. And also in this place lived the caretakers of wild animals, who guarded tigers and lions and leopards and servalssource 2 (map): This map of Tenochtitlan, the capitol of the Triple Alliance, was published in 1524 in Nuremberg, Germany, alongside Hernán Cortés’s letters to King of Spain and Emperor of the Holy Roman Empire. It is the first image of Tenochtitlan printed in Europe. Scholars have debated who made the map and what information it was based on. Some believe it was based on the eye-witness account of Cortés. Others say a conquistador trained as a surveyor made it. Still others argue that it was based upon an earlier Mexica map. Whoever made it likely drew on both Indigenous and European sources. Read the Item Detail information. Next, examine the map. Locate and zoom in on the city center (the large square in the middle of the right page). The map shows the Main Temple dedicated to Tláloc, the rain god, and Huitzilopotchtli, the sun god, in the city center. Find the words TEMIXTITAN (“Tenochtitlan†in Latin) and dom aialui (“house of the animals†in Latin).Closely examine at the illustration just under the words “dom aialui.â€TranslationsTEMIXTITAN = TenochtitlanDom aialui = house of the animalsViridarui D. Muteezuma = Gardens of MoctezumaTemplum ubi sacrificant = temple where sacrifices are madeIdol Lapideu = stone idolDom D. Muteezuma = House of Don MoctezumaSource 3: Letter From Cortes (264-266)Hernán Cortés wrote this letter to Charles V, King of Spain and Emperor of the Holy Roman Empire. Cortés acted against orders when he traveled from Cuba to Mexico. Historians have argued that a main reason Cortés wrote these letters was to protect himself from punishment.
