About this audiobook
This is a 2-book combo. These are the titles:
Title 1:
Welcome to the concise, all-you-need explanation of the Aztec empire!
When you think of the Aztecs, you might think of certain movies you have seen or what you've been taught in history class. And although some of those images and descriptions fit the main narrative, there is still much left to be discovered. This brief book will take you on a journey and kidnap your imagination to a faraway place in time.
Learn more about the facts and findings of scholars, archeologists, and scientists. Topics such as these will be addressed:
The Difference between the Toltecs and also the Aztecs.
The background and origins of the Aztecs.
Surprising facts about their civilization.
The Spanish and their role in their society upon arrival.
Violent human sacrificial rituals and belief systems.
Shocking new facts about the Aztec empire.
If any of this sparks your curiosity, then I invite you to start reading or listening to this book fast.
Title 2:
The Inca empire was vast and massive. Yet, still so few people know much about it, aside from what they've heard from vague rumors. But did you know the Inca people showed various similarities to those who came from the Middle East? Did you know that they mummified their dead and built pyramids?
Infamous among the historical stories from the Spanish invaders are the evidence of human sacrifice and their polytheistic views on nature and life. Other aspects of the Inca empire constitute of the role women, children, and merchants played, and their extensive system of roads, networks, and travel points. Peruvians still show traditionally-colored clothing and Machu Picchu is one of the wonders of the world.

- Rating: 5 out of 5 stars5/5This is one of the best audiobooks I have come across, and that is why I am taking a small moment to compose a review about it. There are a lot of awful books in the market, but this is not one of them. I wish I was truly good at writing customer reviews, but you'll simply need to be satisfied with this mediocre recommendation, namely, that the audiobook was interesting all the way through, up until the very end.
