About this audiobook

In this bundle of audiobooks, you will get the following topics:


1 - 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."


2 - The cult image, female divine being, and folk saint Nuestra Seora de la Santa Muerte (Spanish meaning: Our Woman of the Holy Death) is a cult image, female divine being, and folk saint in Mexican Neopaganism and folk Catholicism.


3 - Topics such as these will be addressed:

The beginnings of the Mayans.

Human sacrifice, temples, sites, and religious principles in the Maya culture.

The Mayan culture and society.

The role of Maya women.

The ancient ruins that can be visited by tourists today.


4 - 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.


5 - Although not really Mexican, this bonus book gives you more insight into ancient American civilizations, in this case, the Inca society. The Inca empire was vast and massive. Yet, still so few people know much about it, aside from what they've heard from vague rumors. But did you know the Inca people showed various similarities to those who came from the Middle East? Did you know that they mummified their dead and built pyramids?
