Explore the Captivating History and Mythology of the Aztec!

Nothing remains of the ancient Mesoamerican civilization who called themselves the Mexica, better known to us as the Aztecs. Nothing except for their remarkable story. In this audiobook, we discuss their enigmatic origins and how the Aztecs rose from nomadic tribes to the dominant power in Mesoamerica at an astounding speed. You’ll wander the streets of their great capital city of Tenochtitlán, known as “the Venice of the New World” among the Spanish Conquistadors, who spread the term all over Europe. You’ll discover the full extent of the city’s splendour, visiting its many market stalls, smelling fresh chocolate and vanilla pods. You’ll indulge in a taste of ripe, hand-picked avocados and freshly baked corn tortillas, as you decipher Náhuatl, the language spoken by the 50,000 merchants who visited Tenochtitlán every day.

You’ll probably wonder how this great city, built in the middle of a lake and isolated by two of Mexico’s highest mountains, Iztaccihuatl and Popocatepetl, could ever be defeated. From the arrival of the first Spaniards in 1519 to the eventual fall of the Aztec empire, we’ll talk you through the major battles that eventually led to its fall. We’ll uncover lies and deceptions in the alliance with their neighbouring cities of Tetzcoco and Tlacopan. We’ll also look at Aztec legacy on the world today: how Tenochtitlán became the basis for the capital of the New World and evolved into today’s Mexico City.

This book centers on a lot of the interesting aspects of Mexica culture. It is a great introduction and does list a lot of the standardly understood facts--evidence of cannibalism, the extent of the nation, the complexity of the architecture and agricultural practices.

Very careful display of the Aztec culture

The power of the Mexica peoples became more consolidated, and they started to form alliances. Their military strength increased as well, and they started to capture peoples in the neighboring areas.Although there was much struggle in both the Spanish and Aztec empires before this, the connection of the two civilizations was harmful.Great book on Aztec History.

Like others, I doubt, I thought I had some nice grip on the story of the success of the Aztecs. I was aware of the Aztec belief that a white god was passing in the very year, a belief that attenuated their answer to his arrival. And the fact that they were overawed by the horses and hardware. All that stuff. The truth, I found, was that I hadn't a clue until I understand this beautiful history.

Very good info

I enjoyed this book. Really informational and educational. I received a few new things about Aztec life, physically and mentally. Like their sciences and belief merging into a day by day living. Even worry about their lives in this fifth sun and following. I would recommend this to anyone.

Powerful and tasteful, writer carefully moves the historical and the personal by providing special aspects of the lives and views of these compelling people without slipping into rudeness. This book is a wonderful introduction to this time in American history. I couldn't stop until I listened to it entirely.

This AUDIObook should be among the first books to listen if anyone is going to know the true Anahuaca (Mexican and "Central American") history. The writer does a good job in discussing major religious phases and History.
