First of all, the Aztec civilization was situated in central Mexico, and the Maya civilization was situated in Guatemala, the Yucatan Peninsula in Mexico, and in parts of El Salvador, Honduras, and Belize. Also, the Maya were way more technologically advanced and actually had a written language. The Maya had more effective weapons than the Aztecs as well. The Maya had a significantly larger empire than that of the Aztecs, and also were just generally more awesome. Although these two great Central American super power civilizations were quite similar, the Maya civilization, without a doubt, was far more superior than the Aztec civilization.

The same cultural influence brings a custom eventually shared by many of the tribes, that of mound building. From about 1000 BC great burial mounds begin to be constructed around tomb chambers of log or wood. The earliest burial mounds in north America are those of the Adena culture of the Ohio valley, closely followed by nearby Hopewell tribes. The period of greatest activity is from the 1st century BC to the 5th century AD, by which time a vast number of mounds have been built throughout north America.
