Dr. Roy Casagranda dives into Aztec culture and history to first establish what culture and life was like in the Valley of Mexico and then to explain the rise of the short lived Aztec Empire. In part 1 he gets to 1519 AD.


Roy's Commentary: I dedicate this lecture to Dr. Ken Brown and Dr. Quetzil Casteneda. Also go now and read Inga Clendinnen's book, The Aztecs www.amazon.com/Aztecs-Interpretation-Inga-Clendinn…

At one point I get stuck on the original four suns of the Creation Myth. They were, in order, earth, wind, fire, and water.

    This man reminds me of my best days of college. When a smart person just took the time to explain a topic. He doesn’t just give the facts, but the context that makes them history. Amazing lectures

    Love Dr Roys Lecture, such a breath of fresh air amidst the fog for toxic misinformation we have nowadays.
