they don’t have it because they were incredibly stupid with their money and whole empire really, the only reason they won was because of social and technological reasons. Its why napoleon rolled over them so fast and never thought of them again.

i mean the other city-states didnt help spain steal the gold they helped spain fight the tenochcka hegemony then spain pulled the under new management maneuver
personally im most sad about the destroyed amoxcalli especially their works on astrology and philosophy, well never get that back. Even if the gods and religious beliefs were preserved in spanish writings and the peoples traditions better than most dead religions, we’ll never really get their metaphysical outlook back.
