Book
Life of the Aztecs in ancient Mexico / text by Pierre et Janine Soisson ; translated by David Macrae.
Here are some of the facts about the strange world of the Aztecs which you will find in this book: Merchants did not seek to make profits - men used to volunteer to become slaves - men wore more jewellery than women- steam baths were commonly used - maize was the basis of the Aztec diet - drunkenness was punished by death. Warriors were supposed to avoid actually killing their enemies! Plus many more facts about the Aztec civilisation, which was both barbarian and refined. Each of its aspects is worthy of careful consideration.
