Spanish Worldview
Knowledge
This category is telling you a little bit about the knowledge part of worldview for the Spanish. The first artifact is a torture tool from the Spanish inquisition or the reconquista the torture tool I am using is the rack the Spanish were really knowledgeable when it came to this. The rack consists of a rectangular, wooden frame, slightly raised from the ground, with a roller at one, or both, ends, at one end a fixed bar to which the legs are fastened, and at the other a movable bar to which the hands are tied. The victim's feet are fastened to one roller, and the wrists are chained to the other. This is a very complicated torture tool that really explains how knowledgeable the Spanish could be when it came to getting their way. The second artifact is the idea of the voyage I am representing this with the ship and the map. To explain a typical Spanish voyage I am using an example of what Christopher Columbus had to go through. First you must go to the royal castle to see Queen Isabella and King Ferdinand to beg for the chance to get money for your voyage [a ship and a crew]. If you make it past that you must make sure you have everything you need if the king and queen can’t supply you with a crew you must find one what Christopher Columbus did was use the Jew and Muslim prisoners from the inquisition. Plus you have the stress of making sure you bring something back for the king and queen or else you will be in trouble. This showed their knowledge because it is giving you a glimpse of the things they did to get gold and resources to become rich and powerful country.

Geography This category is going to tell you a lot about the Spanish geography and how it really played a big role in Spanish riches. The first artifact is a bottle of water but the water in it is from the Atlantic Ocean. I am using this because Spain is right by the Atlantic Ocean and a lot of important events in history happened in the Atlantic Ocean like the finding of the Aztec

    A myth told by the early Spanish explorers of North America about the Seven Cities of Cibola was that it was “a legendary place of beautiful and precious metals and jewels” (Coronado 1541, 5). Over the years historians have proved many of myths to be either true or false statements undergone by evidence. That is exactly what Francisco Vazquez de Coronado had set out to do. Upon Coronado’s expedition to find this tale of a country ruled by a lord, filled with riches and large villages, he encountered a various sort of people and limited resources. To this being known Coronado began to question whether or not if Spain could conquer and establish a higher power settlement within the Zuni Cibola.…

    Mixtec codices are historically significant documents that played an essential role in the documentation of Mixteca civilization through the use of pictorial description. Some examples include the Codex Vienna, Codex Bodley, and the Borgia Group manuscripts. They are major examples that we use today for historical research and enlightenment on a society that isn’t well known. I found the subject to be enticing because the stories told are creation myths and it feels like I am being included in something that is sacred to an ancient society that isn’t mine. Furthermore, the pictorial storytelling style makes these manuscripts open for meaningful analysis based on symbolism. This raises the question of whether these documents were historically significant or mythological in terms of Mesoamerican time.…

    The database allows for detailed research and attempts to cite multiple sources to confirm each voyage. However, the website does not have an intuitive direction towards introductory information on the slave trade. This weakness can deter younger students from further research because the vast amount of information from thousands of sources. The database further develops Paquette’s argument of how the demographics of Spanish America changed over the colonization period; the maps demonstrate the massive amount of Africans that were brought to the continent. This change of demographics exacerbates the class differences and empowers the local elites…

    Christopher Columbus’s expedition was highly influenced by the myth of St. Christopher. St. Christopher’s myth is telling a story of a man wanting to “become a servant of god”. This devout servant helping those to cross a river was once lead to carry the child of God without knowing it until the end. Columbus’s interpretation of the story only redefines everything he was doing for not only the church but for the Nation of Spain. Columbus didn’t know what to expect crossing the ocean but after he came along the new lands he must have seen himself as the deliverer of God’s messages. Just as St. Christopher delivered the child of God to a new side of the river in the myth Columbus brought forth what was the most important aspect in Spain’s…

    _Myths of the Spanish Conquest_ is broken into seven chapters, each dedicated to a different myth or mis-conception regarding the Spanish conquest. In debunking these myths, Matthew Restall works with three themes regarding the conquest. First, that the European discovery of the Americas was one of the greatest events in human history. Second, that the conquest was the achievement of "a few great men," which he subsequently describes as "a handful of adventurers." These two themes lead to a third theme, or question. "If history's greatest event - the European discovery and conquest of the Americas - was achieved by a mere "handful of adventurers," how did they do it?"…

    Separately those clues can each be linked individually to someone suspected for his murder. Columbus’ Journal is linked with Christopher Columbus who lost his title of governor and was arrested by King Ferdinand. Elizabeth I’s speech at Tilbury, which is the speech that Queen Elizabeth of England gave to her troops before they defeated the Spanish Armada which was organized by King Philip II himself. Las Casas’ Apologetic History is a book that Bartolome de las Casas wrote while having been the “Protector of the Indians”, of which King Philip would not let him reveal to the public about the horrors that were being brought upon the Indians by the Spanish explorers. There was also a Holy Bible in Dutch, which could have held the map from Orelius’ Typus Orbus Terrarum. The keys to manacles could represent anyone who was falsely imprisoned by King Philip II or his predecessors. Loyola’s Spiritual Exercises were to help someone improve their Catholic faith for their daily lives, thus being able to be linked to anyone who was ordered to become Catholic by the Spanish royalty. The potato originated near the South America civilizations which could perhaps be from Atahualpa who was killed by Francisco Pizarro, who was ultimately able to explore because of King Philip’s permission.…

    In the Book of Romans Paul wrote many letters answering questions about the human world, mankind’s relations with God, the natural world and most importantly the plan of salvation. Paul wrote these letters to tell the truth, to tell that no matter what race or religion, we are all sinner and the only way to truly become righteous is though faith in Jesus Christ. In Rome at that time you had two extremes of people, the heathens, and those who thought they were holier than thou (Jews). In todays society we still have those two extremes but we also have a middle ground, those who are straddling the fence. Paul just wanted the entire human race to know that we are guilty before God for both past and future sins.…

    Learning the Spanish language provides insight on the culture of different places around the world. By learning Spanish, we learn and can understand their culture. Also, learning Spanish provides another way for Christians to communicate and spread the gospel. WIthout learning spanish, we would be unable to communicate with other countries about Christianity, which is our main purpose on earth. In Latin America it is normal to call Spanish, castellano. Latin Americans do not use vosotros. Instead they use ustedes because it is more formal. People from spain, on the other hand, do use vosotros. For some different objects, the names are different. For example, a pen is boligrafo in Spain, but lapiz pasta in Chile.…
