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 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.bullshit.jpg
