We’re doing a deep dive on one of the most fascinating cultures in history this episode,  the Ancient Aztecs, and have the always  hilarious and charming Mateen Stewart joining as our guest.

We start off by digging into many of the unique and fascinating aspects of Ancient Aztecian life, such as the ‘one time forgiveness law’ where any crime could be forgiven, as long as the perpetrator confessed BEFORE being caught.  And of course we dive into the most infamous aspect of Ancient Aztec life, human sacrifices.

We finish off the episode looking at some of the most prominent figures in Aztec history, like the famous King Montezuma, and the Spanish conqueror Cortés, who ultimately took down the Aztec empire through a ruthless campaign.

Lots of crazy facts in this one, and some fun very *h!gh* tangent conversations, like when Mateen shares his theories of how we’re all doomed to be eventually being conquered by artificial intelligence, similarity to how Cortés conquered the Aztecs.
