Aztec View of History
Aztec history was not a single, edited view of history but was instead a multiplicity. It contained different perspectives and stories of the same events, often looping back over itself to show a panoply of views.
European conquerors overwrote these dense stories with a single, monolythic narrative.
I learnt this from How Aztecs told history by Camilla Townsend, a fascinating article on Aeon.
