Your seamless blend of art, poetry, and historic facts makes your documentaries so poignant and visceral. You bring the amazing Aztec city to life with such depth and emotion that the audience can sense the humidity of the lake air, feel the beat of the war drums in their chest, and smell the smoke from the smoldering buildings. All your videos and podcasts are absolutely amazing. Please keep up the incredible work!

This episode is particularly excellent! For anyone who wants to really cry more, "The Broken Spears" details the conquista in more detail from the Mexica perspective. Gives a true sense of their pride as a people in what they'd built and how harrowing the siege of Tenochtitlan was watching it be torn down around them

I've never in my life listened to 2 and half hours of lecture while in Uni. But i stayed up all night listening to this. It's like watching a movie with you as the director telling the actors in your mind how to play out the scenes according to the narration. Amazing experience, learning and enjoying at the same time. Wonderful piece of work! Bravo!

This is definitely the best documentary about the Aztecs that I've ever seen, and I thought I knew the basics, but knew nothing at all.
I could almost feel the sadness of those who lived to see their civilization and way of life to be torn appart so fast and so cruelly.
Even for our middle ages standards what happened was outrageous, and thus Cortes's end was not by chance.
I can only imagine what could we have benefited today if these civilizations weren't razed and had a chance to have contributed to our life today with their knowledge.

This was such a sorrowful episode, I cried during it. They way youāre able to paint with words is amazing, I feel like I was there and remember every major detail about the events that occurred. This channel is astonishingly great at educating you on ancient world history. They should show these on TV, in schools... Bravo. I subscribed on Patreon to show my support.

As a Mexican, I must say this is hands down some of the best storytelling regarding our country's history. Congratulations and keep up the amazing work.
