description: STATED FIRST PAPERBACK EDITION. 1994 Thames Hudson oversize softcover(trade paperback). Eduardo Matos Moctezuma (The Aztec Empire). The Aztecs have fascinated and horrified Westerners for centuries. After Cortes' extraordinary conquest of the New World's most powerful civilization in 1521, the Aztec capital, Tenochtitlan, was leveled and its Great Temple demolished. Soon even the location of the old cult center was lost - until 1978 when tunneling for Mexico City's subway system unearthed clues that led to the rediscovery of the Great Temple and the most spectacular series of excavations ever conducted in Mexico. - Amazon
