Overview
This fictional guide provides information on what life was like in the Mexica Empire in 1518, one year before Spanish explorer Hernando Cortes and his army marched into Tenochtitlan. Today, we know the Mexica as the Aztec, one of the most advanced peoples in the Americas during the 1400's and early 1500's. Cortes and his army destroyed the Aztec empire in 1521. But the Aztec left a lasting mark on Mexican culture.
