Aztec art is amazing, but after hundreds of years, their colors have faded. This video will show what these amazing artworks looked like in their original color and provide you with an understanding of each piece, enhancing your knowledge of Aztec (Mexica) art, history, and religion. Every piece has deep religious meanings. This is the art of Mexico-Tenochtitlan.
