Welcome to an empire built on blood. This documentary uncovers the brutal reality of the Aztec civilization, moving beyond mythology to reveal the true scale and horror of their ritual sacrifices. Why was this powerful empire so dependent on a constant supply of human life?

Join us as we explore the cosmic debt that drove the Aztecs to war, not for land, but for captives. We will investigate the infamous Flower Wars, the tragic fate of children sacrificed to the rain god Tlaloc, and the year-long, gilded life of the god-impersonator destined for the obsidian knife. This deep dive reveals the intricate, and often gruesome, methods behind their most sacred ceremonies, from the heart extraction at the Templo Mayor to the chilling rites of the flayed god, Xipe Totec.

Ultimately, we reveal the profound irony of how the Aztec's brutal methods for preserving their world became the very catalyst for their apocalyptic downfall. This is the true story of the empire of blood.
