"Sahagún: A Journey Through Time and Cultures" Step into the world of Sahagún, a town with a rich history that spans across continents. From the man from Sahagún in Colombia to the Church of Saint Thyrsus in Spain's Castile and Leon region, this place holds stories waiting to be discovered. Traveling further, we find ourselves amidst the Aztec civilization. Witness an Aztec woman weaving on a loom, her skilled hands creating intricate patterns as depicted in the Codex Florentino. Nearby, an Aztec shield maker diligently works over a fire, crafting protective gear for warriors. The vibrant spirit of the Aztecs comes alive during their music and dance festivities like the One Flower Festival. Drums beat rhythmically as they celebrate their culture and heritage. However, not all encounters were joyous. The arrival of Spanish conquistadors brought disease, such as smallpox, devastating native populations. Bernardino de Sahagún's treatise sheds light on these dark times when medicine men tried to heal those affected by foreign illnesses. In this tapestry of history emerges Vice - temptation lurking within human nature that can shape destinies for better or worse. Montezuma II stands tall as an emblematic figure representing power and leadership during tumultuous times. Delving deeper into everyday life among the Aztecs reveals scenes often overlooked - an Aztec man taking a bath or entertainers captivating audiences with foot juggling skills accompanied by lively music. Finally, witness Hernando Cortes' encounter with fierce Aztec warriors during his conquests in Mexico. This clash between civilizations forever altered history's course. As we bid farewell to Sahagún's past wonders, let us remember two traveling Aztec merchants navigating treacherous roads while seeking new opportunities beyond their homeland’s borders – adventurers at heart forging connections through trade routes unknown before them. Sahagún is more than just a name.
