Near the little city of San Juan, New Mexico, stand the Aztec ruins. Archeologists tell us they are the remains of a once great temple, abandoned by the Aztecs when they migrated south to the Valley of Mexico, where they founded a rich empire. To defeat the greed of Cortez and his Spanish adventurers who had inaugurated a campaign of loot and murder, the wiley Emperor Montezuma hid his fabulous treasure far to the north and implored his native gods to guard it.At not quite an hour, it's quick and easy to watch:
Among these gods was the feathered serpent -Quetzalcoatl.

... Wikipedia had an interesting description of Quetzalcoatl.
ReplyDeleteYour comment made me curious, so I looked it up: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Quetzalcoatl Cool!
DeleteI watched the first 10 minutes and couldn't get into it. It started out interesting, then it was just too slow for me.
ReplyDeleteThe setting up of some of these is sometimes slow, but they're so short I've never minded.
DeleteHmmm. It sounds like a fun fantasy. I don't know if there's any truth to the Aztecs being so far north, but let me let go of my anal side to enjoy this.
ReplyDeleteNo, Aztecs were further south in real life, but fantasy stories don't care about real life ;)
DeleteFrom my birth year, but I don't think I want to watch it! Valerie
