About this audiobook
This book is dedicated to exploring the gods and goddesses that the Aztec people on the pre-Columbian American continent worshiped, and within the pages you will find subtopics like:
- The origins and influences on Aztec beliefs, or in other words, where they got it all from
- The most important themes in Aztec mythology
- Gods and goddesses and their background stories from Aztec mythology
- Aztec myths about the creation of the world
- Details about the Aztec empire, their art, religion, and more
- Legends about Aztec women who became goddesses after they died from childbirth
Aztec mythology is intricate, complex, and the ideals behind some of their mythological beliefs were often intertwined with real-life events. This book will examine how both myth and fact contributed to the culture and traditions of the Aztecs and how these influences and some stories continue to live on throughout the centuries.

- Rating: 5 out of 5 stars5/5Mythology is one of those topics that you can always learn more about. That’s the main reason why I liked it.

- Rating: 5 out of 5 stars5/5This book should be granted an award. That's just how good it is. This is an amazing audiobook. Thus, the 5 star rating I'm writing. I do not always appreciate all audiobooks, but this stood out. And since it did, I started paying attention to it. It was some of the best time I spent, particularly because I was doing other things in the meantime.

- Rating: 5 out of 5 stars5/5The difference between this audiobook and some other audio books, is really that this one is a lot more enjoyable. Just listening in my car, I enjoyed this particular audio book. The very best parts of this book (I forgot which chapters) implied the most to me. When I heard these things, I immediately knew I had made the right choice. This book spoke to me.

- Rating: 5 out of 5 stars5/5I tuned in to this audiobook, and it was definitely inspirational. Dearest consumers, I hope you see this message. I want you to realize that this is an incredible book. I wish I was really good at composing reviews, but you'll just have to be satisfied with this mediocre recommendation, namely, that the book was interesting all the way through, up until the very end.

- Rating: 5 out of 5 stars5/5This write-up reflects my own thoughts and interests. I simply just wanted to write something good about this specific audiobook. Knowing so many new things about this theme was informing, to say the very least. It was a breath of fresh air. I really enjoyed it.

- Rating: 5 out of 5 stars5/5If you're trying to find a manual on this subject, get this one. Hi there, I merely wanted to publish a handful of sentences of endorsement. I almost skipped this audiobook, but I am actually happy that I saw it anyway. It makes sense what the author says, especially in the last couple of chapters, in which the issue becomes a final thought.

- Rating: 5 out of 5 stars5/5This is one of the greatest books I have noticed, which is exactly why I am taking a tiny minute to create a comment about it. Amazingly good. That's what I think. I carefully enjoyed listening to this particular book. It has all the elements of a book about this issue that it should have. Having said that, I am usually happy about things anyway, but Wow! The author has actually put some time into this audiobook. I loved it. By far, among the very best books within this specific niche. This is the ultimate blend of a great storyteller and an exceptional creator, that partnered and chose to spin this into an useful item. Good for them.
- Rating: 5 out of 5 stars5/5I was truly impressed. And I tend not to always mention this about each book. Really, I think that this is a good audiobook for people that are interested in this particular subject. In the beginning, I was questioning where exactly it was going, but after tuning in to it for some time, I got into it. Then I saw this specific book for what it was: A great undertaking by an educated author and expert narrator.
- Rating: 5 out of 5 stars5/5I haven’t actually ever gotten to know about the Aztec mythology, the little usually sound so interesting. I couldn’t memorize the names of the Gods but the stories of how everything happened and why and anything along the lines summarized was actually wonderful.
- Rating: 5 out of 5 stars5/5It's so good that my mother in law gave it 5 stars as well. If you're looking for a guide on this particular topic, buy this one. I learned a lot just by soaking all of it up. The info was excellent, especially if you already know a little about the issue. In fact, you might know nothing at all about it and still follow along easily.
- Rating: 5 out of 5 stars5/5Kept me pretty engaged although some of the name pronunciations were difficult to listen too.
