Europeans described Aztec society as highly advanced and complex, noting its impressive architecture, sophisticated agricultural practices, and intricate social hierarchy. They were particularly struck by the Aztecs' rich cultural and religious life, including elaborate ceremonies and the use of human sacrifices. However, many Europeans also viewed the Aztecs through a lens of superiority, often labeling them as barbaric due to their practices and contrasting their civilization with European norms. This mix of admiration and disdain shaped European perceptions of the Aztec Empire during the Age of Exploration.
