Historical Absurdities: Montezuma and Conquistadors

This chapter humorously explores the life and challenges of the historical figure Montezuma, especially during his house arrest, while drawing comical parallels to modern scenarios. The conversation weaves through light-hearted anecdotes about games, followed by absurd reflections on interactions with Spanish conquistadors and the cultural misunderstandings that arose.
