    Looks like someone missed the point: there's a huge difference living/building on an artificial island and living/building on volcanic soil.https://twitter.com/StabilizedDark/status/911492519560601601 …

        Yes, there were earthquakes in mesoamerica prior to colonization; region was full of scribes, incl women, who wrote about them in detail.

        Along with everything else they destroyed, the Europeans burned Aztec books. A lot of them. Including most of the ones about earthquakes.

        We know from manuscripts like the Codex Telleriano-Remensis that the Aztec had a sophisticated, Richter-like scale to chronicle earthquakes.

        Indigenous peoples are described as savages who couldn't read/write. Pfft. It was Europeans who didn't know how to read these books.

        From the writing that did survive, we know about some of the ways that Aztecs understood earthquakes; they were referred to as movements.

        The earthquakes that happened pre-colonization didn't cause anywhere near the destruction that earthquakes cause post-colonization.

        There was never an earthquake epicentered in Tenochtitlan. Just like there hasn't been an earthquake epicentered in Mexico City.

        In the past, there were earthquakes out in the ocean, or in the isthmus. Did Tenochtitlan feel it? Yes. As waves on Lake Texcoco.

        Not to say pre-colonization earthquakes didn't cause damage in Tenochtitlan. But for the most part, the island literally rode through it.

        The Aztec didn't build Tenochtitlán on soft soil. They didn't build on soil at all. The marvelous city was built on artificial-ish island.

        The Aztec created floating islands for just about everything. This, for example, is an artist's rendition of floating crop gardens for food.pic.twitter.com/7WdlABg50g

        Back to earthquakes, though. You can see the effect of the Puebla/Morelos earthquake in Mexico City's Xochimilco:https://twitter.com/conecora1/status/910217949591502849?lang=en …

        It looks scary. It is scary. But you can see how people are riding out the waves from the earthquake, which was epicentered 75 miles away.

        Because they couldn't respect indigenous knowledge, The Spanish drained Lake Texcoco; *they* decided to build on volcanic, unstable soil.

        Several people have responded that the Aztecs were the ones who were so backward, they built on Lake Texcoco. They're missing the point.

        You wanna correct me/mention that Lake Texoco was saltwater? That there was more than one lake, several were freshwater? Cool. Please do.

        But stay out of my mentions if you're only here to make the point that Spanish colonization was somehow a great thing for progress.

        Colonization is, quite literally, the foundation on which environmental degradation is built.
