The Aztecs performed human sacrifices for their gods. They believed that they owed everything towards them since the gods had created their very existence, and they thanked the gods by sacrificing. They believed that by sacrificing the gods would be pleased and would offer them good harvest, health, and weather. They thought that if they didn't sacrifice the gods wouldn't be happy and would send disasters towards them, like everything opposite of what they would do if they were happy. For example, natural disasters, illness, and bad crops. I hoped this helped.

What did the Aztecs think would happen if they didn and rsquot perform sacrifices?

The Aztecs believed that if they did not perform sacrifices, the sun would not rise, leading to catastrophic consequences for the world. They thought that the gods required nourishment in the form of blood to sustain the universe and maintain the balance of life. Without these sacrifices, they feared that the gods would become angry, resulting in natural disasters, famine, and ultimately the end of civilization. Thus, sacrifices were seen as essential for the continuation of life and the favor of the gods.


What did the Aztecs legend predict of Quetzalcoatl?

Aztecs never actually predicted anything. Everything people say they predicted was a lie to get people to believe things they say. For instance, the 2012 zombie apocalypse will never actually happen because the Aztecs never had a power to predict the future.
