In this weeks episode of the Aztec saga, Cortés finally makes it to Tenochtitlán, where he meets Montezuma and gets a front-row seat to the awe and brutality of Aztec culture. From stacks of human skulls to gold-laden markets. But things go sideways fast—hostage situations, massacres, and the infamous La Noche Triste leave the Spanish drowning in chaos, treasure, and their own hubris. Grab a drink and join us as we dive into one of history's bloodiest and most insane showdowns.
