Really enjoyed this history of the Aztec Empire!
Was written very well with great maps and photos.
We learn a lot about the Spanish Conquest of the Aztec Empire in school, but not much on the origins of the Aztecs. Also, really liked how the author tied in the Olmec, Toltecs, and other native Mesoamerican empires related to the Aztec Empire. The details on how the Aztec tribe grew into the Aztec Empire was fascinating.
Keep up the great work.

A Legendary KingMontezuma—a mythical figure, surrounded by an aura of mystery and power, whose echoes can still be heard today. In this book, you will learn about this king, who was revered as a god rather than a human. Montezuma was also an important politician and strategist for his people, as he quickly sought an alliance with the newcomers: the Europeans. |
A Fascinating SocietyWhen the Spaniards landed in the Aztec lands, they were amazed at what this society had reached: advanced trade, the creation of beautiful ornaments, a stratified social life, and a plan to expand the empire. |
The Founding of the Golden EmpireFrom its creation, linked to the legend of the eagle and the snake, to its decline, the Aztec Empire has a lot to tell: a thriving market, an efficient education system, the smart use of local natural resources, battles for power, and bloody religious rituals. All this allowed the Aztecs to develop their power and become really powerful! |
The captivating story of the Mexicans’ ancestors
And a journey into the period of colonization!
At the height of the Aztec expansion, the basin on which the empire was built could accommodate more than a million people, an astonishing achievement compared to the rate of growth of the rest of the world in the 1500s.
A thriving economy based on cocoa beans, rapid population growth, and strong mysticism were the elements that characterized one of the most interesting peoples in history.
Discover the wonders of Tenochtitlan, today’s Mexico City, with its towering pyramids and golden temples, as well as the famous commander Montezuma, a regal and mystical figure misrepresented throughout history by the invading Spanish.

I would have liked to see specific discussion of the pictured artworks and artefacts; they were often described as something that an untrained eye can't see or appreciate, which make the pictures seem out of context or even misnamed.
I'll finish the book but will probably give to my son for his 6th grade history project. I won't buy another one from the "Enthralling History" series.
