Episode Notes

The Aztec Empire was the dominant power in pre-Columbian Mesoamerica. The astronomical and cosmological traditions they created were extremely fascinating but are still subject to prejudice. Like their peers in Eurasia and East Asia, the Aztecs watched the heavens avidly and discerned patterns that influenced their worldview, calendar systems, and even urban planning.
