The Aztecs SeriesAnnotation(CORE) The programs in this video series tell the story of the Aztec Empire that flourished in Central America about 500 years ago and its capital city of Tenochtitlan that is being excavated under the centre of Mexico City. Computer animations show what the city was like, and Aztec artifacts, discovered in recent years, give an insight into Aztec art and culture. Viewers explore the remains of Aztec temples.

Program One, In Search of the Aztecs, looks at everyday Aztec life, the role of Aztec warriors and priests, and Aztec beliefs and religious rituals.

Program Two, The End of the Aztec Empire, focuses on Spanish Conquistador, Hernán Cortés and his crew as they sail from Europe to land in what is now Mexico. Their journey inland was difficult, but they reach the Aztec capital city and meet Montezuma, the Aztec leader who expells them from the city. In time, they return and overturn the great Aztec Empire and occupy the land.
