what is up new travelers we are back in
the historical district actually I don't
know if we're in historical district yet
but that is the direction that we're
going in and we're maybe taking you guys
to a place called temple de Mai or it is
an ancient Aztec temple that is right in
the center of Mexico City how cool is
that
let's go check it out
so on our way to the temple we got
hungry and we stopped for the Spanish
rice dish called paella
it was really messy so I couldn't really
film because my hands were all like yeah
but now he's gonna reenact what the meal
was like
this part of the city is where you can
literally buy anything right now we're
walking down the light Street
there's another Street that's the
photography street where you can get
anything cameras I saw another one
that's like the plumbing street it's
crazy they literally have everything
here
[Music]
Canada juice I've never been so proud
it's funny because we're actually not
known for Juice at all like in Canada
you'd be more excited to see Mexican
juice because like we don't have many
fresh fruits
[Music]
[Applause]
[Music]
you know I wasn't planning to include
anything in this video before the temple
but there's just always so much
happening down here that I can't help it
you know
seriously whatever you're trying to do
whatever you're trying to go down here
add an hour to the time you think it
will take because there are so many
people and there's so many interesting
things to distract you on your way so
this is it guys
Zillow the central square of Mexico City
one of the craziest places in one of the
craziest cities I've ever been
and the temple that we're going to is
just around the corner
here's what we're looking for
you can almost miss it if you're not
careful there's so much happening
[Music]
whatever hot today so guys one of the
cool things about this temple and the
museum that they built around it is that
you don't actually have to pay to get a
nice view of it right now we're not in
the museum yet we're just looking from
the from the sidewalk from the street I
guess into the temple so let's say you
only have a day or two in Mexico City
you're downtown and you don't think you
have enough time to see the museum
well I still recommend coming down here
just to check it out because there's not
many places you can get a view like that
while walking around a historical
downtown core it's pretty cool
[Music]
we actually can't find entrance to the
museum we're still outside but there's
lots to see I mean look at these little
sculptures of the temples
I don't know if you guys can even hear
me there's so much going on but I think
we finally found the entrance
[Music]
I had to check my backpack at the front
so I got one of these supercool things
so the organization of the museum
there's an area inside over there where
they have some information and then most
of it I think is actually outside where
you get to walk around the temple
so if you ever look closely at a Mexican
flag you'll see that there is a picture
of an eagle on top of a cactus eating a
snake and this isn't just a cool symbol
it is actually the story of the birth of
Mexico City
the ancient people I want to say Aztecs
but I might be wrong about that I think
it was the Aztecs believed that the
capital of their new Empire would have
to be where they see that exact scene
where they see the eagle on the cactus
eating the snake and it happened right
here in Mexico City in fact it happened
right here in this temple so you're not
just looking at an ancient temple you're
actually looking at the birthplace of
Mexico City so when the Spanish arrived
they destroyed a lot and this temple is
not looking nearly as nearly as complete
as it would have been back in the day
but one of the most incredible facts to
me is that this temple was buried over
time even though it was right in
downtown Mexico City it was never fully
excavated until 1978 I mean people knew
that there was something down here but I
guess they felt you know there's lots of
ruins there's no need to tear up some
old colonial buildings in downtown
Mexico just to find another temple but
then when they were doing some plumbing
work and they found some huge statue
they realized that yeah I think it's
time to do some digging and this is what
they found
now they say that the ruins of this
temple might actually be bigger than we
know I read somewhere that they think
there's more ruins underneath the
Cathedral which we passed right before
coming here
but the cathedral is its own work of art
so I don't think they're gonna be
tearing that up anytime soon to find it
but that just gives you an idea of the
incredible sort of architecture that the
Aztecs were building that you still have
a city essentially underneath of the
city yeah sorry I really can't talk much
right now it is so hot and the
security-guard made me pour out my
bottle of water right before coming in
which is I mean I understand it in
certain museums but a one like this
where you're outside and it's hot I
think it was a bit unnecessary
[Music]
okay thankfully there's another inside
part so I can stop complaining but oh
wow look at these 45 0.5
once again tough yet all point but once
again tip watch me bust a shake okay
this is the year that I'm coming in just
devastate my stylist great taxi peoples
can't I dominate the warrior had a
fundamental importance and he was he
immersed the ideology is that English
[Music]
you don't cut I don't have water for you
but how about a Nobel Prize Nobel Prize
a piece right piece has doesn't that
mean peace guys as you know my Spanish
is not that good could someone explain
to me what that Nobel Peace Prize is for
Wow on top of you on top of the template
so that explains why it's so foundation
the Spanish literally built on top of
the Aztec temple that's crazy okay so
we're back outside feel like all I did
was complain about the heat and talk
about how thirsty I was but seriously I
don't know why they had to get rid of
water but I will say this the fact that
they've built a museum around a win like
this right in the center of the city
it's pretty incredible that they've done
this and I've never seen a museum quite
like this before
now let's go get something to drink
before we pass out
[Music]
