TRUTH about the Conquistadors – Forgotten History

In 1519, Spanish explorer and conquistador Hernan Cortez landed on the eastern shores of Mexico with 11 ships and more than 500 soldiers. When they arrived at the Tenochtitlán temple, they saw a priest tearing out a living man's heart, lifting it into the air, and throwing his corpse down the temple stairs. This single event set off a cascading series of events that would forever alter the course of world history and create controversies for Cortez, Spain, and the Catholic Church ever since. Hosted by Colin D. Heaton. Forgotten History is a 10th Legion Pictures production.
