Here is an excerpt from the BBC documentary series "The Story of God". The "Story of God" is an epic journey across continents, cultures and eras exploring religious beliefs from their earliest incarnations, through the development of today's major world faiths and the status of religious faith in a scientific age. The series examines the roots of religious beliefs in prehistoric societies and the different ways in which humanity's sense of the divine developed. It looks at the divergence between religions that worship a range of deities and those that represent strict monotheism.
This excerpt examines the religion of the Aztecs and peoples of Central America. The documentary series in fascinating and worth watching. It's available on YouTube. You might also want to look at the videos on Buddhism from the same series.
