Judith, muchos kudos on the new set. I like it even better than the first one, and enjoyed making a spectacular set in Vue this weekend using parts from both sets. Can't wait for #3!

There is an IMAX movie about the Maya but it's atrocious. Don't waste your money. :-)

There was talk a few years ago about a big epic (featuring Salma Hayek as "La Malinche") being made about the conquest of the Azteca, but it apparently never went to production. If anyone would like to learn more about the Aztecs and the Conquest, I'd suggest "Conquest" by Hugh Thomas, "Conquest of New Spain" by Fra. Bernardo Diaz del Castillo (an eyewitness,) and "The Broken Spears," which is a collection of accounts from the Aztec perspective. The book by Thomas is spectacular, and paints a good portrait of the empire's amazing achievements and fascinating culture.
