From the moment Spanish conquistador Hernan Cortes first found and confronted them, the Aztecs have fascinated the entire world, and they continue steadily to hold a unique place both culturally and in pop culture. Nearly 500 years after the Spanish conquered their mighty empire, the Aztecs tend to be remembered because of their major capital, Tenochtitlan, as well as for being fierce conquerors of the Valley of Mexico who often employed in individual sacrifice rituals. Ironically, and unlike the Mayans, the Aztecs are not widely looked at or appreciated with nuance, in part because their own head burned extant Aztec writings and rewrote a mythologized record describing his empire's dominance less than a century prior to the Spanish arrived. Obviously, Cortes and other Spaniards depicted the Aztecs as savages greatly looking for conversion to Catholicism. As the Mayans are appreciated because of their astronomy, numeral system, and calendar, the Aztecs have generally been appreciated in a considerably narrower way, despite continuing to be always a source of take great pride in to Mexicans through the ages. As a result, even though the Aztecs continue steadily to interest people across the world ages after their demise, it has dropped on archaeologists and historians to attempt to determine the real record, culture, and lives of the Aztecs from the beginning to the end, counting on excavations, key accounts, and much more. The World's Greatest Civilizations: THE ANNALS and Culture of the Aztecs looks at this whole account so that they can portray the Aztecs as they actually were.
