The Myth of Hernan Cortez

For 499 years the myth of Hernan Cortez as the great conqueror of Mexico has been treated with kids gloves when it comes to applying any kind of scrutiny to the claim. 

​For some reason, people just seem completely satisfied with taking the words of a proven falsifier as hard facts. His letters are treated as official historical documents depicting actuality but which with a little deeper inspection can easily be seen as the fiction that they are.

Cortez was no military genius and conqueror, he was a literary genius (as a writer of fiction) and a usurper. 

Watch me in the video below as I dismantle the myth of Cortez, the "Conqueror of Mexico."
