Why do we know more about the Aztec than about other south and central?
The Aztec civilization left behind significant records in the form of written codices and accounts by Spanish conquistadors. Additionally, extensive archaeological work has been conducted at their capital city of Tenochtitlan. In contrast, some other civilizations in South and Central America may not have left as many written records or have had as much archaeological investigation.
Why do we know more about the Aztec than about other South and Central American societies?
There are several reasons why we may know more about the Aztecs compared to other South and Central American societies. One reason is that the Aztec civilization left behind extensive written records in the form of pictorial codices. Additionally, the Spanish conquistadors who encountered the Aztecs documented their customs and rituals, contributing to our knowledge. Finally, the Aztecs' capital city, Tenochtitlan, was a major urban center that captured the attention of European explorers and historians.
What effect did the invasion by the Spanish conquistadors have on the Aztec way of life and civilization?
The Spanish invasion completely destroyed the Aztec civilization. Its religion was utterly destroyed and only continues to this day in the small corruptions that Aztec belief has made in the local syncretic versions of the Catholic faith (including some holidays like Dia de los Muertos). The Aztec lifestyle was completely up-ended, from their warrior traditions, to their religion, to their health (over 60% of the Aztec population is estimated to have died from diseases in the first two centuries of the colonization), and to their status (where Aztecs were relegated to a place just above slaves).
