About this listen

From human sacrifices to staggering architectural feats, discover the fascinating civilization that still influences our modern daily lives.

How much do you really know about the Aztecs?

Although they sometimes sound like something more out of a storybook than a history textbook, the rituals and practices of the Aztecs helped them establish a massive empire that spanned miles and years.

Understanding past cultures is essential to comprehend where we are going in the future. The traditions and cultures that came before us provide an engaging way to learn about and preserve the past through oral and written traditions.

Cara. C.G understands how fascinating history can be and has compiled compelling information about the Aztecs that helps weave a rich tapestry of cultural achievement.

In this book you will discover:
