PURÉPECHAS: El Imperio Que los Aztecas Nunca Pudieron Conquistar y los Españoles Traicionaron

In 1479, the largest army in Mesoamerica marched toward the highlands of Michoacán. 24,000 Aztec warriors. Fewer than 200 returned. This is the story of the man who made it possible, of the king who chose his people over his pride, and of the young woman who refused to accept that it was all over. ▬▬▬▬▬ CHAPTERS ▬▬▬▬▬ 00:00 The Escorial Manuscript: The Battle the Aztecs Tried to Erase 02:00 Tariácuri, the Priest of the Wind: The Man Who Unified What No One Had Been Able to Unite 07:30 The Industry That Won the War: Purépecha Copper Vs.
