Did you know that the Aztecs sacrificed 500 to 700 people every year in order to satisfy Gods?

For many years, the Aztecs have captured our imaginations. Stories from the original European invaders combined with unique, awe-inspiring ruins and legends that speak of palaces of gold create an image of Aztec society defined by grandeur, wealth, and splendor.

But who exactly were the Aztecs? Where did they come from? How did they rise to control such a wide expanse of land? And if they were so powerful, how was it possible for them to fall from power and dominance just three years after contact was first made with the Spaniards?

These are just some of the questions that this new captivating history book aims to answer.

In Aztec History: A Captivating Guide to the Aztec Empire, Mythology, and Civilization you will discover topics such as:

Where Did the Aztecs Live?
The Truth About Who the Aztecs Really Were
Remarkable Insights into Government, City-States, and Expansion
The Arrival of the Spanish and the Decline of the Empire
A Day in the Life of an Aztec Citizen
The Sovereign, the Dignitaries, and the Nobles
Agriculture and Diet
Religion
Shocking Discoveries of Human Sacrifice
And much, much more!

The enemy of my enemy

Reviewed in the United States on October 17, 2018

Another good book in this series. With the Aztecs there are enough ruins, images and writing that their history can be fairly well figured out. Their empire consisted of around 50 city-states and at one time reached about 3 million in population. The fairly well thrived until the Spanish soldiers arrived with their diseases and weapons and that was pretty much all she wrote for the Aztecs. Another aspect of this, of course, was that the Aztecs had their own enemies who allied with the Spanish to help defeat the Aztecs.

The Aztecs, like the United States, actually consisted of an area with diverse climates and that, of course, had an effect on what people did to survive in those different areas. Two overriding characteristics were the concept of tribute and human sacrifice.

Their society was stratified with a number of layers from the very top down to the slaves who, unlike those in the U.S., were able to leave slavery behind sometimes.

The book also goes into the topics of the Aztec religion (many, many gods), the life of the commoners, how the leaders got elected, the stratification by wealth and even their sports.

One thing I found very interesting was the Aztec concept of this being the fifth Earth, not the first.

All-in-all another very well-done book for this series.

Simply Amazing Information/Knowledge

Reviewed in the United States on July 8, 2018

I have loved to read about the Aztecs from junior high. Believe it or not from a textbook that covered the Spanish conquest in some detail.
I was not familiar with the Triple Alliance until now . Nor did I know the Aztecs never referred to themselves as Aztec. The classes of people was informative & the way governing the empire was not essentially the emperor’s role .
Also interesting was the diet of corn & beans which gave the Aztecs all the nutritional value needed . Meat was in short supply so they made do with what was available & what they could grow.
So sad that this empire fell rather quickly after the Spanish arrived but not being immuned to new diseases the population slowly vanished. But, with archaeologists still studying & excavating this empire more information will be added to its knowledge base.
Read this book to add to your knowledge of the Aztec empire & if you never read anything on the Aztecs this book a good place to start.
Thank you Captivating History for another super book!!!
