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.

The overlap of the various Mexican cultures and ruins is always fascinating. I’ve been to a few of these sites and wish I had the opportunity to go back to explore more. If only we had a time machine and could see what these cities looked like in their heyday! The color, the costumes, the blood. Lots to think about.

The Nicarao people of Nicaragua also claim descendance from the Toltecs, and historians and scholars found evidence to support that claim. Identical cultures, the Nicaraos expertise in medicine, Nicarao effigies are identical to Toltec ones, and the Nicarao migration to Nicaragua after the fall of Tula Chico and Tollan lines up perfectly, it is a strong theory. Thanks for the video 👍

This history seems to rhyme with the Pre-Roman Etruscans that the Romans learned from and adpated much of they have from these people. The Romans however are responsible for the demise of the Estrucans. The same consclusion that was drawn here and is plausible. Two great civilizations!

This is more myth than history. So many contradictory views on the mysterious Toltec!

Both the Aztecs and the Egyptians had wings serpent God's. So maybe the toltecs came from Egyptians and pheonicians. Only it wasn't until ptolemy 1 soter, but more like a distant son of ptolemy. Which would explain the peacock 🦚. Which Chaac gave it colorful feathers.
