### Description
**Moctezuma, the great Aztec emperor**. Everything was normal in his domains from the great **Tenochtitlan, current Mexico City**.
The Aztecs **did not have a rival** that threatened them in all of Mesoamerica. Or at least everything was like that **until 1519** (year “1 Cane” for the Aztecs), when Moctezuma and some priests received a series of **7 bad omens **about a great event that would forever change the society they knew.
In April of that year, while in his palace, a messenger brought him news of very big **“houses that floated”** in the waters of the eastern ocean. **They were the Spaniards coming from the other side of the world, led by Hernán Cortés. **Moctezuma knew that his omens had come true.
It was time for Moctezuma’s big call. Did he act in fear or in anger against them? Moctezuma followed a war strategy or did he have to naively improvise? What would anyone have done receiving visitors from a totally different world? Come to know the rest of the story on this virtual tour.
