In Episode 5, Cortes marched inland toward Tenochtitlan and passes through difficult terrain and battles on his way to finding a new and powerful ally.

In Episode 4, Cortes digs in and settles on the coast. He encounters a new people, the Totonacs, and discovers their conflict with the Aztec Triple Alliance.

In Episode 3 we follow Cortes north to Aztec territory. The meeting between Cortes and the Aztec ambassador Tentlil would begin a months-long negotiation between the two groups. Cortes and Moctezuma would, through messengers and diplomats, carry out a delicate political dance. Cortes also manages to solidify his leadership and commitment to exploring the mainland, despite resistance from his own men.

Mictlantecuhtli ( from the Nahuatl 'Lord of the underworld', derived from tecuh-tli "sir" and Mictlan "place of the Dead") is the Aztec, Zapotec and Mixtec God of the underworld and the dead of the ancient México.

Temple offerings were burned in highly ornate, anthropomorphic braziers such as the Ceramic Brazier Featuring an Agricultural Deity, circa 1500, which depicts the goddess of maize holding corn cobs, surrounded by marigolds.

Indigenous Peoples

It’s hard to imagine the tragedy this sword inflicted on the people of Mexico, responsible for the deaths of many Indigenous people and could be considered one of the cruelest relics of the colonization of the Americas. This sword would have been wielded against the Maya at Cintla as Cortes led the cavalry. It would have been present at Cholula where Cortes and his men hacked away at unarmed nobles and porters. It would certainly have been present at the battles in Tlaxcala and Tenochtitlan.
