    About this audiobook

    This combo contains the following topics:

    1 - Have you ever wondered what the Maya people did? How they lived? How their empire grew? Then this is the right book for you. In this book, we'll go over the most important discoveries about the Mayans, the Central American inhabitants that were in the region hundreds of years before the journey to the New World by European settlers and conquistadores.


    2 - 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.


    3 - It’s a hard name to pronounce, but hey, it’s been the legend of Native American peoples for centuries. Was it a man? Was it a god? Was it a white person? Or was it some animal or strange thing? Quetzalcoatl is an Aztec divine being whose name originates from the Nahuatl language and meaning "valuable snake" or "Quetzal-feathered Snake." "Quetzalcoatl, in its actual sense, means 'snake of valuable plumes,' but in the allegorical sense, 'best of men,'" said Ixtlilxóchitl, a descendant of Aztec royalty and history expert of the Nahua people, in the 17th century.


    4 - Emiliano Zapata Salazar was a revolutionary in Mexico. He was a key figure in the Mexican Revolt of the years 1910 until 1920, and also the primary leader of the people's revolution in the Mexican state of Morelos and the creator of the Zapatismo agrarian movement.

      The info in this manual is really incredible. It really appears like the author did a great job here. Despite of the author's understanding about the theme, the narrator was still the element I was most pleased with. This is what really sold me on the author's book.
