Well maybe but the more painful thing is how their whole civilization was destroyed by colonialists.

I don't think there are any great secrets in those texts, just humanity.

The fact that we can not read these texts in fact tells us more than if we could, it tells us it is possible to annihilate other cultures totally. It tells us about the evil of colonialism.

When traveling around Mexico, I kept wondering how it would have been like today, if we (Europeans) had behaved in a different way.

I think that somebody would have united all native populations against the Aztecs. An European or else.
