Episode 3 | Human History — Civilizations & Empires

In this History episode we focus on the Aztec Empire — a civilization that rose from nothing in less than a century to build the largest city in the Americas, and was destroyed in two years by a force of 500 Spanish soldiers and a disease nobody had ever encountered before.

This episode covers the wandering tribe that arrived with nothing, the ingenious agricultural engineering that built a city in a lake, the Triple Alliance that became an empire, and the catastrophic encounter with Hernán Cortés that ended it.

The eagle on the cactus is still on Mexico's flag today.
