Today, DJ Peach Cobbler talks about the myth of Hernan Cortes, the ongoing debate over the fall of the Aztec empire, and why the topic is an absolute nightmare of politics, bias, and greed.
In a few weeks, he will continue this journey, when he explores What Remains of Montezuma, The Great Speaker of the Aztec Empire.
