Indiana, Jones Explores the Aztecs
Hardcover
(Trafalgar Square July 1, 1996)
In this series, the popular hero Indiana Jones explores ancient civilizations, acting as guide and narrator. In this title, he explores ancient Mexico, examining the civilization of the Aztecs. Mexico had been occupied by many different cultures for thousands of years before the arrival of the Aztecs. They developed their own cities with huge pyramids dedicated to powerful, blood-thirsty gods, and came to dominate the surrounding peoples. However, their civilization only lasted about 200 years, and was destroyed by a small army of Spaniards in search of gold and treasure. A fact file includes additional and unusual information about the Aztec world.
