Of The Aztecs

The Aztec empire was the greatest Mesoamerican kingdom of all time. The empire stretched eighty-thousand miles across the territories of Mexico, with more than fifteen million people. The capitol, Tenochtitlan, rested in the heart of the Mexico Valley, surrounded by tall volcanic mountains, in a city great and technologically advanced. The Aztecs were feared, powerful, dangerous, and it should have stayed that way. It would have, in fact, if not for a Spanish conquistador, Hernán Cortés, who would bring an end to one of the greatest empires in history. Cover by heyitsmaggiex
