In this episode of Fexingo History, Lucas and Luna examine the Tizoc Stone, a massive carved monument from the heart of Tenochtitlan. Discover how the Aztec ruler Tizoc used this stone to rewrite history, depicting himself conquering enemies his army never faced. We explore the stone's intricate reliefs, its connection to the Templo Mayor, and what it reveals about Aztec ideology, propaganda, and the tensions between emperors and their warriors. Learn about the stone's rediscovery in the 18th century and its significance today as a window into the Mexica imperial mindset.
