Bryant Ridge's Analysis:
The Aztec Empire flourished between 1345 and 1521 and covered most of the northern Mesoamerica. Aztec warriors were able to dominate their neighboring stated imposing Aztec ideals and religion across Mexico. Highly accomplished in agriculture and trade, the empire was also noted for its art and architecture. The Aztecs appeared to be Masters of the world, their empire so wide and abundant that they had conquered all the nations and that all were their vassals. Guests, seeing such wealth and opulence and such authority and power, were filled with terror. Mythology and religion were closely intertwined for the Aztecs. A bewildering array of gods presided over every aspect of their human conditions. The Aztec Empire pistol displays a variety of these gods in deep etch relief and 24k gold highlights. The enhancements are extensive.
