À propos de ce contenu audio

 In the decades before Moctezuma II, the Mexica emperor Axayacatl expanded Tenochtitlan's empire through brutal conquest and strategic marriage. His son Tizoc, by contrast, ruled briefly and controversially — his coronation war so feeble that he commissioned a massive stone carving to rewrite history. This episode explores the reigns of Axayacatl and Tizoc, the Stone of Tizoc's propaganda, and how the Mexica empire consolidated power through warfare, ritual, and public art. We also touch on the Tarascan Empire, which humiliated Axayacatl, and the internal struggles for succession that shaped the Triple Alliance. Lucas and Luna dive into the archaeology of the Stone of Tizoc, the meaning of its carvings, and the political maneuvering behind Aztec imperial imagery.
