The Aztecs believe in over 70 gods for different aspects in a human's life. They sacrificed People to please the gods.
The Aztecs had over 100 gods, however only some were the main Gods. They believed in Ometeotl(roughly translated as Dual Energy) which is cosmic energy and each form of this cosmic energy had different manifestations as in Tlalok for rain so each aspect of life had a different manifestation of Ometeotl not gods like these archaeologist are claiming each Ometeotl manifestation is.
Quetzalcoatl
The Aztecs believed in many different gods, including Tenochtitlan, the sun god, and the war god.
Huitzilopochtli was the patron god of the Aztecs.
The god that the Aztecs worshipped was said to be named Huitzilopochtli. They also tended to mix the traditions of other civilizations with their own.
Cortez killed the Aztecs because of the 3 G's. God, Gold, Glory. God: the Spanish wanted to spread cathlicism. Aztecs wouldn't accept it. Gold: Cortez thought the Aztecs were hiding gold. But the Aztecs were not hiding gold (they didn't even know what gold was!!). Cortez would not believe the Aztecs when they told him they had no gold. Glory: [note: I'm not sure if this last reason is true] The spanish killed the Aztecs (at least partly) because they can.
Quetzalcoatl
no, they didn't
The Aztecs believed in many different gods, including Tenochtitlan, the sun god, and the war god.
yes, the Aztecs believed in many gods. They built ziggurats for the gods. On top of each ziggurat there were many shrines
I believe they are polytheistic, meaning they have/worship many gods, so in that case, it depends on which god they worshipped.
The Aztecs didn't attack Cortes and his men at first because they did think that he was a god. But after Cortes captured the priest or leader, he masacured many Aztecs and conquered their land.
The Aztecs believed the sun was a god named Kinich Ahau.
Huitzilopochtli - the sun god of Aztecs
Huitzilopochtli was the patron god of the Aztecs.
The god that the Aztecs worshipped was said to be named Huitzilopochtli. They also tended to mix the traditions of other civilizations with their own.
yes they did. Aztecs even had a sun god and a war god.
When Cortes appears at the Aztecs empire, they believe that he is the god, Quetzalcoatl but he is truly an enemy that is out to destroy the Aztec Empire. Anyway, the Aztecs welcome the Spanish with food, and with a place to stay that lines the entire city giving an easy way to defeat the Aztecs.
