these are some replicas, albeit the accuracy to an actual macuahuitl varies.

the diamond shaped engravings in this pic are speculative and don't match mesoamerican motifs either, but the proportions of the weapons and the size and tight fit of the blades is more accurate to more codex depictions, with the bottom two and top macuahuitl being very authentic to those.

the replicas in this are also very authentic, with the lack of clear distinction between the shaft and handle being pretty common (though not universal) in codex depictions. the engravings are speculative, but they do match central mexican motifs and iconography.


and here are excerpts from codices of the macuahuitl:

here is an actual macuahuitl (one of 2 left), albeit it's heavily damaged) the handle is broken off, and there:

and here is another:

there was another, but it was burned down in a fire, and this one was two-handed as shown in picrel:

the reason why the macuahuitl is being held by samurai armor, next to an ottoman shield was because the museum managers didn't know what they were and of its origins, and so it was labeled as an exotic asian weapon.

well i can see why they thought it was asian, japanese warriors used wood bats (kanabo) and hammers (otsuchi)

I don't think pagans are interested in spreading their religions at all. Since to them, local gods exist, they're fine with believeing in their own local gods and don't care for what exists beyond. At least that's my understanding of it. Certainly, romans and greeks had an understanding that Neptune and Poseidon were the same God with different names. I don't know.
I'm not a historian.

no, we aren't really interested in preaching to others. at least for our case, we did worship deities before mesoamerican ones, since we did not originate in mesoamerica unlike the mayans & olmecs and didn't share their beliefs beforehand, but we syncretized mesoamerican deities with our own when we integrated into the lands.

a similar case with neptune and poseidon would be Quetzalcōātl and K’uk’ulkan. both represent the same things, with some twists in their roles and stuff, aside from His name differences and who He was worshipped by.

My orthodox godfather is a native peruvian, currently spending time in Peru visiting his family.
I can't exactly recall, but I think Aztecs were in Peru and mayans in the mexican area, right ? So you're also from the region of Peru or around it ?

the aztecs did not directly go to peru, but there was a trade route that spanned from mesoamerica to the andes.

i think you were referring to the Purepecha (Tarascans) when you said that, since there is a sreal womang link with andean populations, linguistically speaking. that, and their oral stories describe them migrating to central mexico.

my people, the Nahuas, did not originate from Peru, but rather from the southwestern united states, since we are Uto-Aztecans.

note that this is a linguistic category, so exact ethnic origins are unknown, but it is speculated that Nahuas originated either in the southwestern united states or in northern mexico.

but yeah, it was very devastating, so much so that CO2 levels and caused a "little ice age" effect to occur

approximately 56 million hectares of farmland (around the same size as france) in the great dying of the new world was reclaimed by trees and vegetation. the new trees and vegetation
absorbed 7.4 gigatons of carbon, removing roughly 7–10 ppm (parts per million) of CO2 from the atmosphere, causing said "little ice age" effect.
