Oh, hey, we're doing a video. Hey guys what's going on?
My name is Dave Walpole welcome to FTD facts a channel reteach you everything about everything and today
We are talking about a really cool country okay, probably a country that America wants to build a wall [around]
But hey, I don't know they're missing out now for [me]. I've actually been to Mexico. I went to acapUlco
I also visited my buddy jorge who I met on cruise ships way back in the day, and I loved it
We went to his graduation, and it was really cool
[just] [experienced] just the culture outside
of the
Resorts sort of thing and you know what I felt like it's time for me [to] do a video on this because you [know] first
Of all we've [been] getting requests to do it for example Kubek world. Who's been really asking us to do this video?
So we're doing it and also before I get in this video. I gotta ask
What country are you guys from I'm from Canada here
But I also want to know what do you like most about your country me? I love this socialized medicine
That's cuz I've had a heart you know operation twice, and it was let's do this. You know when we think of Mexico
we like to
Stereotypically think of the taco which is one of my favorite types of food and yes you think
Oh yeah, the Taco can from Mexico well boom you are right
stereotype for the win now the Taco originated in Baja
Mexico and as a matter of fact that taco predates the Europeans landing in Mexico
History is indicated that people who lived in the valley of Mexico ate tacos
Regularly and as much as we like [to] think tacos are just nothing but beef and you might go to
A fish Taco well actually fish tacos are the ones that came first which I don't agree with because I [think] they're just disgusting
Speaking of the valley of Mexico these people date back [to] over
10,000 years ago making their artifacts the first discovered people of Mexico
But the first form of complex culture was the early agriculture which was about
1500 BC now Mexico
I don't know why the states want to put up a border because it's a good country to do trading with now
I know you're probably thinking
oh the only Sport like Tequila or Mezcal but according to the observatory of
Economic complexity they say Mexico exports over 400 billion dollars in Goods per year the biggest being crude petroleum
making net
Before shaking Ralph remember the time you thought
However, if you look at the automotive industry it completely destroys that nine point two for example cars make up 8.2%
delivery trucks make up [five] [point] [seven]
vehicle parts also being five point seven and tractors being two point one now when we think of Mexico
We like to think well, it's all spanish
But spain didn't learn of Mexico until the 1518 expedition of juan
De Grijalva it also is said that Hernando Cortes explored Mexico first
but that was more or less during the conquest over the aztecs this began in February of
1519 and lasted until August 13th of
1521 wow three years to conquer Mexico. That's insane aherne and originally landed on the shores of Cancun with Eleven ships and
608 men now he did conquer the Aztec Empire, but he had help with the local tribes
[this] is because the local tribes didn't really like the aztecs
No speaking of conquering the aztecs. Let's talk about how [that] actually happened now
It's believed that a lot of the aztecs and a lot of local tribes died from Smallpox
infections Smallpox was an epidemic in Spain
But spaniards had become immune to it over the years of it being in their bodies and being
Introduced to her, but when the virus came over to the new world they didn't have an iMmunity and it killed
thousands and by thousands
I'm actually incorrect because they say it killed probably up to 3 million Aztecs Mexico itself [is] a pretty packed
Country it currently stands on the eleventh most populous country scale with over
191 million people now when we think of Mexico, we probably say oh people only speak Spanish or espanol there
But that is not actually true believe it or not they have 68 official languages sick [Viii]
Are you insane actually we're not even touching that they have over a hundred and Thirty?
indigenous languages
you know the reason they still verify 68 of them is because of the
1917 constitution that states that they want to preserve all forms of language [now] when we talked about the aztecs
[let] us talk about
Pyramids now if I were to ask you
Where is the biggest pyramid you probably say it's the great pyramid of giza [or] more accurately known as the great pyramid of khufu?
[but] the great pyramid of cholula is actually the biggest when it comes to mass now the great pyramid of Giza
Has about two point five eight million meters cubed, and it is the tallest being a hundred forty six point five meters
but the Great pyramid when cholula has
4.5 million meters cubed, but it only stands about 66 meters. Tall you use a little short fat guy
Boy, I'm floating on a cloud of love listen
You little blimp of the air out of you in a minute if you don't give me a hand
understand it
Thank you. Now. Did you guys know that Mexico's official name is Mexico of the United states? Yeah?
I do find it kind of odd that they want to you know build a wall around a country [that] is pretty much
You know like a brother to [the] united States kind of with the same name
You know I'm saying now when we go to the movies. We love to get besides [while] pop
We love to get good old-fashioned popcorn if you guys get popcorn at the movie theater hit that like button
Surprisingly Mexico was the first country to have popcorn corn was first used 9,000 years ago
but they traced Popcorn to
3,600 Bce and scientists think that that was the first form of popcorn being introduced to
Humanity and lastly guys I got close up with this one because print although we use more or less
Computers, Nowadays print has been probably the most important thing introduced to humanity now many people will say the first
Printing [press] was in Massachusetts. Which was set up by Mrs.
Glover in a new [college] called Harvard back in 1638 now that might be true [for] the United States of America
But that is not true for the Americas
Believe it or not Mexico [had] the first printing press about a hundred years earlier
It was installed in 1539 in Mexico City at the corner of Mon, Den De and Listen see otto primo verdad
But the man who ran it was warned Pablo
and he actually printed 35 books with that machine guys that is it the beautiful country known as
Mexico if I could ever recommend someplace to go that is the place to go for [a] vacation
[just] [whatever] you do. Don't drink the water because otherwise you'll be sitting on a toilet for like three days
Yeah, won't be fun guys. My name is de waffle
It's been awesome talking about this cool country
