Product Details
The National Geographic Society specially commissioned paintings for this book to recreate the highlights of the Aztec's "once-glorious civilization—a civilization whose age of grandeur was brief. Less than 200 years after the founding of Tenochtitlan, it lay in ruin. The Aztecs had met their destiny at the hands of the strategist more clever even than they: Cortés had claimed the land for Spain."
Full of bright photographs by Mark Godfrey, this book covers the modern as well as the historic Aztec people and land.
Chapters include:
Autumn, 1519
The Setting
The Wanderers
The City
The Empire
The Society
The Strangers
The Nation
An index, additional reading section, acknowledgments and illustrations credits, and a note on the Aztec language round out the book.
