Presenter Dan Snow traces the history and legacy of the last ruler of the Aztec kingdom, Montezuma. Inheriting his throne when the Aztec empire was at its zenith, Montezuma reigned over a people whose lives were ruled by ceremony and bloody ritual. But when faced with the gold-hungry, heavily armed conquistadors of Spanish coloniser Hernando Cortes, the Aztec ruler compliantly ceded his kingdom to the Spanish invaders, bringing to an end a civilisation that had endured for 200 years.

Additional InformationDan Snow journeys to the ancient heart of Mexico in search of the lost civilisation of the Aztecs and their last and greatest ruler, Montezuma II (1502-1520). Montezuma inherited an empire of five million people, stretching from present-day Mexico to Nicaragua, from his uncle. His rule was marked by incessant warfare. <BR><BR><BR>Enemy states were growing more powerful and conquered tribes were becoming more rebellious. Within months of taking the throne in 1502, he went changed a man of good reason into a pitiless autocrat who declared himself a god, believing that fear and ruthlessness were the only ways to stop the empire falling apart. <BR><BR><BR>Yet it was at the hands of Cortes and the Spanish conquistadors that Montezuma met his downfall. But what was his relationship with Cortes, and why did such a ruthless leader submit to his captors with such relative ease? As Dan Snow visits the ruins and picks through current excavations, he pieces together the evidence of a gripping story: a divine tragedy of errors, the clash of civilisations, the end of a world û and a very human God.
