*For sale in the U.S. only.* In present–day Mexico, physical
evidence of the once–powerful Aztec Empire can be difficult to see.
How did such a powerful society and culture virtually disappear? The answer
dates back to the arrival of the Spanish conquistador Hernan Cortes, on a
determined quest to claim land and riches for Spain, and spread Christianity.
Overcome by the weapons and tactics of the Spanish and their native allies, the
great Aztec Empire and its ruler, Moctezuma II, fell. In this program,
students learn about the causes of the Aztec Empire’s fall, explore
the culture clash that ensued when two very different societies merged
and witness the crumbling of the Aztec culture — from the destruction
of its prized architecture to the decline of its population due to
enslavement and disease. While Christianity and the Spanish language
prevail in Mexico today, traditions and tales of the lost Aztec Empire
live on through its remaining Aztec descendants. Part of the multivolume
Ancient Civilizations for Children Video Series.
