From the rise of Tenochtitlan to its tragic fall, we delve into the political machinations, religious beliefs, and social structures that shaped Aztec society. We witness the architectural grandeur of the Templo Mayor, a sacred space that served as the center of the Aztec universe, and we explore the complex rituals and ceremonies that took place within its walls.
We encounter the enigmatic Aztec rulers, from the legendary Moctezuma II to the ill-fated Cuauhtémoc, and we learn about their strategies for maintaining power and expanding their empire.
