On a boat
The Mayans arrived in Mexico near the Aztecs.
The Aztecs did not practice Catholicism before the Europeans arrived; they had no exposure to it until then.
That's because they saw Mr. Hernan Cortes as a god, due to their god was supposed to arrive that year.
The first time he attacked the Aztecs, he took advantage of Montezuma's (Aztec leader) hospitality, taking him prisoner. This led to Hernan Cortes controlling the Aztecs, until they rebelled, finally forcing Hernan Cortes out. Cortes then waited for more Spanish troops to arrive, and when they did, going back to attack the Aztecs, but this time completely demolishing their city of Tenochtitlan.
They arrived their because the Aztec Indians were walking to find their home where they were guided to by their gods. The Aztecs were to settle (according to the gods) where there was a prickly pear cactus, a eagle with a wiggling snake in their mouth. When the Aztecs arrived that is what they found. That is why they settled in that place. It was a lake called Texcoco found in Mexico. BTW! This was wrote by a eleven year old. You're welcome!
Aztecs did what Aztecs did best
Cortes met a girl named Maria. She convinced people to join Cortes. Cortes soon build an army and concord part of the Aztec village.
Aztecs
Hernan Cortez was not a God but when he arrive to America (Tenochtitlán) the Aztec thought he was his God Montezuma because of his light skin.
The Aztecs Built Temples.
