In this second episode of Reign of Blood, we’ll take a deep dive into the origins and the early rise of the Mexica, the tribe of Aztecs who were the last to migrate out of the mythical land of Aztlan – according to their origin myth – and into the Valley of Mexico. We’ll separate the history from the legend and tell this astonishing story of an unsung group of nomads who overcame tremendous obstacles to build a city in the middle of a lake and set themselves up for future greatness.
