Stay tuned for the Spanish Conquest of Peru. 🙏
By Cortés time, when he first arrived in México there was a population of around 25 million, including aztecs , and a few other tribes . Whereas Cortés had at first only 200 spaniards , the ones arriving with him.
Sorry, in the second part of this podcast, the size of the ships IS accurate. (They looked too Big only in the first minutes on this podcast)

I've read everything I could get my hands on about the conquest of Mexico. I'm currently reading the Aztec account "Broken Spears".
This video is exactly in line with the literature.

I visited Mexico City this past March and totally geaked out on the museums, the ancient and still in-use canals, Teotihuacan, etc.
Mexico City is truly an amazing city with incredible history.
