Engineering an Empire - The Aztecs 5/5

Engineering an Empire - The Aztecs Part 5

In less than 200 years the Aztec's transformed themselves from a band of wandering nomads to the greatest civilization the New World had ever known. What records remain of this amazing feat indicate they did it through brilliant military campaigns and by ingeniously applying technology to master the harsh environment they faced. They built their capital city where no city should have been possible: in the middle of a lake. The Aztec also practiced human sacrifice on an unprecedented scale and made many enemies. By the time the Spaniards landed they had no trouble recruiting tribal allies to destroy the Aztecs. Watch with host Peter Weller as we examine the architecture and infrastructure behind the New World's greatest, and last, indigenous society.

Noche triste....because they managed to escape? The only sad thing in my opinion is tha some of the Spaniard animals managed to get away.

Ibericos hijos de un gran puta, ojala se mueran todos...cerdos inmundos.

the conquest sucks but we are here because of it, us mestizos of course. my only problem is how the dumbass Spaniards destroyed everything the Aztecs created. we really don't know much about them.
