In the early 16th century, in what is now central Mexico, the Aztec capital city of Tenochtitlan was home to more than 200,000 people. From the empires earliest roots to its eventual demise, this title details the incredible rise and fall of one of the greatest civilisations in history. It also examines ancient Aztec religious beliefs, scientific innovations, and daily life, as well as how the civilisations culture has affected the world we live in today.
