This is a story about the ancient Aztec state and the people who lived in it. A story about strange customs, bloody sacrifices and untold treasures. This is the story of an Aztec. A man who has changed many professions over his long life. He was a scribe, warrior and merchant. He visited the jungle, mountains, desert and the shores of two oceans. He managed to earn a huge fortune. His road led from the very bottom to the foot of the throne. But then, from across the ocean, his country was invaded by hordes of bloodthirsty, pale-faced people clad in armor. They called themselves conquistadors.
