Centuries ago, Spanish conquistadors searching for gold and new lands encountered a group of independent city-states in Mesoamerica. Sophisticated beyond the Spaniards' wildest imaginings, these people were the Aztecs, the Maya, and related cultures that shared common traditions of religion, government, the arts, engineering, and trade. In many ways more advanced than European nations, these societies equaled the world's greatest civilizations of their time.

Explore the Captivating History and Mythology of the Aztec!
Nothing remains of the ancient Mesoamerican civilization who called themselves the Mexica, better known to us as the Aztecs. Nothing except for their remarkable story. In this audiobook, we discuss their enigmatic origins and how the Aztecs rose from nomadic tribes to the dominant power in Mesoamerica at an astounding speed. You’ll wander the streets of their great capital city of Tenochtitlán, known as “the Venice of the New World” among the Spanish Conquistadors, who spread the term all over Europe. You’ll discover the full extent of the city’s splendour, visiting its many market stalls, smelling fresh chocolate and vanilla pods. You’ll indulge in a taste of ripe, hand-picked avocados and freshly baked corn tortillas, as you decipher Náhuatl, the language spoken by the 50,000 merchants who visited Tenochtitlán every day.

Story
The Roman Republic, and later the Roman Empire, was an unusual conqueror because it would absorb and assimilate elements of the cultures it dominated. A standing practice was to allow the defeated to continue practicing their culture and religion so long as they paid their taxes on time. Such a procedure was part of why Christianity would seep into the Roman Empire around the 1st century CE, for example. For the Etruscans, this meant they influenced aspects of Roman civilization, one of the most powerful cultures in the history of the Western world.

The sheer importance of Sumerian culture in regards to world culture as a whole is impossible to overstate. This civilization is single-handedly responsible for some of the most major innovations in nearly every field relevant to maintaining a civilized society - this includes religion, lawmaking, architecture, schooling, art, literature, and even entertainment. Naturally, most of what we see as negative aspects of society were established in ancient Sumer as well. There wasn’t an aspect of Sumerian life that wasn’t plagued with corruption or devastation of one form or another.

OLMECS
I just called her on the music instruments and culture of my ancestral Mexico I have had to read many books and I find that most readers don’t realize that there are several problems in writing these kind of books. There are books that have facts, and there are books that have facts And opinions mixed in. The problem with Opinion is that they are usually when it comes with a case of native America which is the one that I know I don’t know other books out there or educational with methods the problem with opinions is that they can be positive but it’s still opinion. The ones that bother me are the ones that are Eurocentric another words compared to Europe or just plain ethnocentric there were a few comments in the book that were like that I didn’t appreciate those just give me the facts!
There’s a thing of never appreciate is to pronounce I need a word in the minds of most Americans and some Mexican scholars to Nagle oh it’s native Sol it’s just pronounce it “our way” and they wind of butchering it so bad that you might as well learn to say it the right way and promote the correct pronunciation rinses it was terrible maniacally feeble of that guy to say the word, Nahuatl like this: Nah-hah-til I mean any bonehead will know the basic vowels in Spanish which is the same Italian and Portuguese that you is pronounced like oooooh I mean if you’re going to say the way he said it was three syllable why not learn the correct way and three syllables I mean pronouncing the TL is a little difficult I know but you would be, and they told me they’ll direct or just yesterday, he would be much safer at saying it like this Nah-waht
, Jesus Christ that’s only two syllables it bothers me when people go on record going into a studio and pronouncing the words all messed up and then someone saying OK that’s perfect thank you I would’ve read it much more better. There is nothing wrong with anybody hearing from our awards pronounce correctly. For instance I’ll be speaking in English to you and if I come across a word from Iran I’m not going to pronounce English style I’m going to pronounce it the way they do. That’s the honor a gift to all cultures especially when we’re talking about scholarly material. If I speak in English to you and there’s an Italian word like lasagna, that’s how you say it I did not say la Sagna. Take very little effort to change the Eurocentric/ethnocentric way of approaching saying native words of the Americas. I know someone will come back at me and say but that’s how we do it exactly that is how it’s done but just like you pronounce those Italian words and some French words and even German words correctly say these ones correctly
I could cite more examples but you’re all smart enough to know what I’m talking about.
That was quite a number of other words the guy said that I know could be said in their native pronunciation but you can do it too. I did have an adult one time said to me but I speak English and I told him “brother you and I have the same muscles and vocal cords I am no different than you”.
Wish they would’ve talked about chocolate a little more because there are some more very powerful thing there was quite a few other things that were in accurate in the book and strange supposition like that weird conversation about who invented the tortilla or the fact that chocolate was only consumed by Nobles. There is no documentation anywhere that says that if you go to Tabasco right now like I went there a couple years ago cacao trees grow in every neighborhood we all mix weren’t the first ones to eat it they were the earliest findings and findings means “that’s all we found at this point”, If you go buy one of these trees you’ll want to eat it your first impulse will be to eat it it’s not like there are chocolate bars in the air so these things have been eaten I’m sure since the first humans or in the Americas. People always talk about the art and they always, and I get especially bothered by this because I’m a musician, they always leave out music music and sound direct guides and influence of people in a Nueroscientific manner this is all been proven! So the omitting of musical instruments is just absolutely insane.
Other than that I learned just a couple of things but really not much that I’ve already seen. For the average layman this is a great book I would say hire me and I’ll read the whole thing for free and pronounce the words 1 billion times better

It is the theory, presented in a great way.
The Captivating History team, definitely supports the diffusionist theory vs the isolationist, and so do I. He makes comparisons of the writing script of the Major Ancient Civilization in Mexico and brings out many similarities. This book is one of the most well illustrated with many Olmecs images in Guatemala never seen before. I enjoy this audible very much.
