Pretty nuts, but Oxford University is older than the Aztec Empire. Yep, that empire that you hear about in the history books has a world-class university that's older than it.
The Aztec civilization emerged sometime around 1200 A.D. in modern day Mexico. The Aztecs developed a complex calendar system, had universal education, but they also practiced human sacrifice and never developed metal forging. Without metal weapons, they didn’t stand much of a chance when invaders led by Spanish conquistador Hernan Cortes captured their capital, Tenochtitlan, in 1521.

Nice! Pretty crazy when you breakdown what we really are as humans too. A bunch of cells...
