The Aztecs

Who were the Aztecs?

The Aztecs were an ancient American civilization that was located in modern day Mexico.

In its height of power there capitol city was among one of the greatest in the world at that time, and would have been a wonder of the world if it wasn’t burnt to the ground. To get a basic outline of the Aztecs you can watch this video.

So as you can tell from watching that video the Aztecs were quite obviously insane but believe it or not they were even wackier than you might have thought. Take for example their food, you can learn about the repulsively nauseating food they ate by watching this episode of horrible histories Historical Masterchef.

Pretty sickening huh? Another awkward thing about the Aztecs is that they used chocolate for currency. At the time of the Aztec Empire most of the world never even knew what chocolate was since the Americas are one of the only places you can grow chocolate, and the Americas had not yet been discovered. But the Aztecs had plenty of chocolate, and everyone loved chocolate. So they used it for currency.  As a matter of fact Montezuma drank fifty goblets of chocolate a day.

 

 The Aztecs fell to the Spaniards pretty easily. Why that is? Watch this video to find out.

Fun Ways to Learn About the Vikings

The vikings are probably my favorite topic to study in history. They were in my opinion the fiercest warriors of the middle ages. At the time their weaponry and equipment was state of the art, and their ships were the strongest and fastest in all the seven seas. The best way to learn about these things is to see them used and built. You can do that by watching this video.

The Twilight Zone

The twilight zone is in my opinion the absolute best old TV show. Unlike most TV shows the twilight zone takes place in a completely different setting every episode. From talking dolls, to aliens, the twilight zone has just about every subject imaginable.

Many people like the scary episodes. One fun thing I like about the twilight zone is that you never know how it is going to end!

They always have twilight zone marathons on certain holidays, and there are so many episodes that marathons last a long time!

Although all of the episodes are different they do have some things in common. One thing is that the director, Rod Serling, starts and ends all of them and they all have the same music.

Some of my favorite episodes are: the living doll, a world of his own, a nice place to visit, and a most unusual camera.

To fully understand the twilight zone you have to watch the show. It is very hard to describe. If you have seen it what do you like most about it? And what are your favorite episodes. If not does it sound like a good show? Please comment.
