Highly skilled farmers, builders, and merchants, they were also savage warriors who practiced human sacrifice. THE HISTORY CHANNEL® presents a comprehensive profile of this fascinating civilization. Listen as leading scholars trace the rise of the Aztecs from a band of just over 1,000 to the dominant culture of ancient America and learn how the Spanish were able to hasten the fall of this mighty society in mere months.

THE AZTEC EMPIRE explores the riveting history of a civilization that rose to dominate nearly all of Mexico in just 400 years.

Still, the reenactments helped add a dimension to the ornate and simplistic paintings done of the past empire. This documentary has interviews from both American and Mexican scholars, it's not one-sided. The work ends by saying Aztec treasures ...
