We are continuing our animated historical documentary series on the pre-Columbian civilizations with a video on the rise of the Aztec civilization. How they went through a remarkable journey from the refugees in the region to the lords of a vast empire. This video covers the early history of the Aztecs, their capital - Tenochtitlan, their beliefs and sacrifices and much more.
