The author of the proposed book analyzes the religious and mythological ideas of the Aztecs. This analysis allows us to understand why the culture of the ancient Aztecs was called by one of the modern researchers “a dream and a nightmare.” After all, on the one hand, the Aztecs built grandiose and majestic temples, relied in chronological and astrological calculations on the calendar, which amazed Europeans with its accuracy, but on the other hand, they used the disgusting practice of bloody human sacrifices. The book is published in the author's edition.
