A religious empire under the Aztecs, with a pantheon of gods - e.g. Tezcatlipoca, Huitzipochtli, Quetzalcoatl, representing variously force, will, wisdom, and centred on the city Tenochtitlan, roughly the site of present-day Mexico City. A feature of the architecture was stepped pyramids, where selected sacrificial victims had their hearts cut out to appease the gods, ensure crop fertility etc. The god Quetzalcoatl, 'the feathered serpent', was expected to appear or return to the Aztecs at some point, and when the Spanish arrived, their leader was taken to be Quetzalcoatl, and the Spanish were initially welcomed, but in time conquered and colonised the Aztec civilisation.
