Summary
Explora la fascinante historia y mitología de los aztecas
Nada queda de la antigua civilización Mesoamericana que se autodenominaba los Mexicas, mejor conocidos por nosotros como los aztecas. Nada excepto su notable historia.
En este libro, discutimos sus orígenes enigmáticos y cómo los Aztecas se elevaron de las tribus nómadas al poder dominante en Mesoamérica a una velocidad asombrosa. Vagará por las calles de su gran ciudad capital, Tenochtitlán, conocida como "la Venecia del Nuevo Mundo" entre los conquistadores españoles, que difundieron el término por toda Europa. Descubrirá la magnitud del esplendor de la ciudad, visitando sus muchos puestos en el mercado, oliendo a chocolate fresco y vainas de vainilla. Se deleitará con el sabor de los aguacates maduros, recogidos a mano, y las tortillas de maíz recién horneadas mientras descifra el Náhuatl, el idioma que hablan los 50.000 comerciantes que visitan Tenochtitlán cada día.
Probablemente se preguntará cómo esta gran ciudad, construida en medio de un lago y aislada por dos de las montañas más altas de México, Iztaccihuatl y Popocatepetl, pudo ser derrotada. Desde la llegada de los primeros españoles en 1519 a la final caída del imperio Azteca, le hablaremos de las principales batallas que eventualmente llevaron a su derrota. Descubriremos mentiras y engaños en la alianza con sus ciudades vecinas de Tetzcoco y Tlacopan. También veremos el legado Azteca en el mundo contemporáneo: cómo Tenochtitlán se convirtió en la base de la capital del Nuevo Mundo y llegó a ser fundada como la actual Ciudad de México.

Useful guide
I truly enjoyed it and ended up finishing it well before I was supposed to do so. I'm not particularly interested in the history of Mexico, but this was a thrilling story that made me want to learn more about the Aztecs/Mexica.

Captivating history team is the best.
Captivating History’s team work is so different from many modern history authors, which is the manipulation of facts to satisfy political agendas. Gosh, I know Captivating History team is disavowed/not read because of the discrimination against dead white males. But he's just flat-out better than the historian practitioners of today.

Nice info
I found the use of documents from that specific time to be very interesting and the way he wrote made you literally see exactly what is happening like your overviewing the situation. I also believe the author completed his purpose because he tells you about what the Aztec's did and how they felt on the situation they went through.

Easy to understand
The history of the conquest as told by the Aztecs themselves, a point of view I have not read before. Very sad, but important story, which the research by this author finding the accounts as told by Indians who survived.
