Episode 7 - Moctezuma, Cortes, and a Zoo? - a podcast by Dillon Buck

Welcome back to the seventh episode of History of the World Part II with your teacher/host Mr. Buck. This week we take some time to discuss the new unit, the Global Age of Exploration, as well as provide some background information to the unit. Then we transition into the details regarding the first event we will examine during this time period, the meeting of the Aztec King Moctezuma and Spanish conquistador Hernan Cortes. Finally we wrap up the podcast this week talking about the grandeur of the capitals of the Aztec Empire, Tenochtitlan, by asking a question historians have been trying to answer for years, "Is it true that Moctezuma really had his own personal zoo?". Thank you for listening and I hope you enjoy!
