I agree with many of the criticism above and am glad to see I wasn’t alone in noticing some of the more egregious errors. Diego Rivera murals? The murals shown in this video are NOT Rivera murals. The ruins of Teotihuacan were just that–ruins, abandoned before the Aztecs arrived on the scene. To try and link the two (probably because there are no Aztec pyramids to use, given the Spanish destroyed them) is really misleading to those who are just learning about the Aztecs and Mesoamerican history. I really would have expected more from PBS. Disappointing.

Not for those who can’t face reality without the comforting filter of political correctness. Human sacrifice and ritualistic cannibalism were part of the story. Are we to ignore it because chauvinisitic ethnocentrists can’t deal with the truth?

DId the Auschwit’s jew episode program had mariachi music in it? Then why did merengue was played on most of this episode in the program. Let us be consistent to the TRUTH. Would not be very kosher if you put mariachi music in a jewish holocaust episode would it?

This is not about changing Channels, if you don’t like what you see, But it is about the dignity of a people! SO it is our right to correct inacuracies about OUR story! because HIStory is euro-centric and inaccurate!

LIES! the story of Indigenous people, continue to be told through the eyes, and mentality of the invaders, and real killers of many indigenous nations. It is said, that when the spanish arrived to ANAHUAK it set Humanity back 500 years.. Poorly done!Historically Inaccurate!

maybe when the mexica used the spaniards as sacrificial offerings, the gods were angered at the generic, worthless blood that no better than dog urine was in the the spanish line, and brought forth the diseases that ultimately destroyed the fierce and true royal mexica.So in the end the gods destroyed the mexica with disease, the mixed with moor blood spaniards took the credit- since they wrote the story in their favor-and 500 years later the mexica still exist.Defying man ,disease,andgenocide.Even defying the gods themselves. That is what makes a people and their bloodline true.

To Brewmeisterbro :
I study ancient Mesoamerican religion. Even if I agree the most part of your comments, you forgot to mention that the Aztecs used the Teotihuacan rites. The colonial texts mention that Moctezuma was used to meditate here. The same Aztecs got a lot of Teotihuacanos artifacts that have been by archaeologists like Matos Moctezuma or Lopez Lujan in the mere Great Temple of Tenochtitlan. So it proved that the site of Teotihuacan wasn’t totally abandoned. Secondly, I’d like to remind you that Bernal Diaz del Castillo wasn’t part of Cortes expedition in Mexico. He never mentions him in his letters to the emperor Charles 5th. Bernal Diaz isn’t reliable : he copied other texts, and most of them, badly…
