How did Inca society differ from the Aztec and Maya societies in Mesoamerica? -Well that wasn't helpful
religion
Like the Maya, the Aztec organized their society around religion, the Aztec believed that human sacrifices were necessary to keep the gods pleased and to ensure abundant harvests. Thousands of prisoners of war were sacrificed.
Maya, olmec, Aztec and incas
The Maya civilization is the oldest of the three, with its origins dating back to around 2000 BCE. The Inca civilization emerged later, around the early 15th century, while the Aztec civilization rose to prominence in the 14th century. Thus, the chronological order from oldest to youngest is Maya, Aztec, and then Inca.
Present-day Peru is primarily associated with the Inca civilization, not the Maya or Aztec. The Inca Empire was centered in the Andes region and is known for its sophisticated society, architecture, and extensive road systems. The Maya civilization thrived in present-day Mexico and Central America, while the Aztec Empire was based in central Mexico. Therefore, neither the Maya nor Aztec directly represent Peru's historical legacy.
The Maya. The classical maya civilization began around 250-300 AD and collapsed around 900. The Aztec were only around for about 200 years before the Spaniards defeated them in the 16th century.
Aztec
Yes, the Olmec, Maya, and Aztec are distinct Mesoamerican cultures with unique characteristics. The Olmec, often considered the "Mother Culture" of Mesoamerica, thrived from around 1400 to 400 BCE and is known for their monumental stone heads. The Maya civilization, which developed later, from around 2000 BCE to the Spanish conquest, is renowned for its advanced writing system, mathematics, and astronomical knowledge. The Aztec Empire emerged in the 14th century and is famous for its expansive empire, intricate society, and monumental architecture, particularly in Tenochtitlán.

It is subjective to determine which society had the greatest achievements as each had their own notable accomplishments. The Maya were advanced in mathematics and astronomy, the Aztec had impressive city planning and engineering feats, while the Inca were renowned for their vast empire and sophisticated agricultural techniques.
One key difference between Aztec and Maya societies is their political organization. The Aztecs had a more centralized and imperial structure, with a powerful ruler who commanded a vast empire and a tribute system from conquered territories. In contrast, the Maya were organized into numerous independent city-states, each with its own ruler and often engaged in rivalries and alliances. This decentralized political system allowed for greater cultural diversity among the Maya compared to the more uniform Aztec empire.
