Dr. Roy Casagranda dives into Aztec culture and history to first establish what culture and life was like in the Valley of Mexico and then to explain the rise of the short lived Aztec Empire. In part 1 he gets to 1519 AD.


Roy's Commentary: I dedicate this lecture to Dr. Ken Brown and Dr. Quetzil Casteneda. Also go now and read Inga Clendinnen's book, The Aztecs [ Ссылка ]

At one point I get stuck on the original four suns of the Creation Myth. They were, in order, earth, wind, fire, and water.
