This monologue podcast episode is a throwback episode from season one of "Our Fake History," revisiting a two-part series on whether the Aztecs believed Cortes was a god. The host reflects on the episode's creation, noting improvements he'd make today, such as expanding the scope beyond the Quetzalcoatl myth to encompass the broader context of the conquest and presenting the "ancient aliens" theory with more nuance. He discusses the complexities of the Quetzalcoatl myth, distinguishing between the god and a legendary Toltec king, and highlights the role of Malinche in Cortes' conquest. The episode concludes with a call to action, encouraging listeners to donate or review the podcast.
