Post subject: barbour france The Origin Of Montezuma's Revenge
Even if you've never actually traveled to Mexico yourself, you've no doubt heard the phrase 'Montezuma's Revenge' uttered somewhere else before; perhaps in a movie or maybe by someone you know who has traveled to Mexico for a vacation. And chances are, if you're at least passingly familiar with the term, then you are also likely aware of what exactly

it is: a digestive condition stemming from a food based pathogen that can cause all sorts of unpleasantness for those who've become inflicted (*note - no need to get into messy details, anybody who

While the condition has many causes and there are some explicit remedies

is significant. Who was Montezuma

and why is this travel related illness considered to be his revenge? Revenge for what? And against whom? Mexico's history is rich with significant figures that at various points in time helped Mexico's evolution forward - Miguel Hidalgo, Agustin de Iturbide, Guadalupe Victoria, Porfirio Diaz, Emiliano Zapata, etc. The list is long and each individual's contribution is significant. So where amongst all of these influential people does the titular Montezuma reside? What is the significance of his name in relation to an illness?
First off, some clarity - it is not 'Montezuma', but Moctezuma. Where and why the letter 'c' was changed to the letter 'n' in pronunciation is unclear; likely 'Montezuma' was just easier to say and became commonplace and accepted over time. In any event, there were two Moctezuma's in Mexican history, not one. The first incarnation being Moctezuma Ilhuicamina, or Moctezuma I, as he is more commonly known and referred to as. Moctezuma I was an emperor, and his name stemmed from an Aztec word meaning 'His angry lord,

archer of the sky'; he also had a nickname, 'Huehue Montezuma', which loosely translates to 'old Moctezuma'.
The second Moctezuma, also an emperor, was known as Moctezuma Xocoyotzin (translation -

young Moctezuma), or Moctezuma II. Although history utilizes numerals to differentiate between the two, at the time either were in power there was no numeral for their designation. While the elder Moctezuma was responsible for consolidating the Aztec civilization and expanding the empire, it is the younger one who has a link to the origin of the traveler's illness of the same name.
Moctezuma II was in power as emperor (*the ninth emperor) when the Spanish arrived in 1517. He mistakenly assumed the Spanish were descendants of the Aztec god Quetzalcoatl, and treated them accordingly. Part of his welcoming to

these 'gods' was to share his palace and all other manner of luxury with them; a massive feast was prepared and the Spaniards, not having ever experienced Aztec cuisine, fell ill. It is believed that this is where the association began between Moctezuma and gastrointestinal illness; having made a grave error in judgment, Moctezuma would have his revenge on the foreigners through the food they consumed.
While the legend is impossible to verify with 100% accuracy, the revenge aspect of the phrase comes from the supposed hostility of countries which were taken over and colonized by stronger or more dominant countries, and the insidious but effective method by which they extract revenge against their oppressors. As there are numerous locations in the world that

have been colonized, and subsequently over time have become tourist destinations, the often humorous names associated with the illness tend to reflect the country in question. In the instance of Mexico, names such as 'The Aztec two step' and 'Gringo Gallop' are also often heard substitutes for 'Montezuma's

revenge'.
The illness isn't serious enough to deter millions of travelers from setting off on an adventure in a new country or location; in most cases a bit of common sense can be exercised and a bit of forethought will go a long way towards helping you avoid it. Common sense, as always, is the best remedy - don't overdo it on alcohol, get plenty of rest, stick to bottled water, and if you are even a little unsure of the food at a particular location, don't eat it and go somewhere else. When visiting known tourist locations, 'Montezuma's revenge ' is even less likely due to the stringent standards and health codes required by businesses to stay in operation.
