Maya, Aztec, Egypt, Sudan.
The earliest cities in North America were built by indigenous societies such as the Olmec, Maya, Aztec, and Mississippian cultures. These societies developed complex urban centers with monumental architecture, organized infrastructure, and hierarchical social structures.
Like the Maya, the Aztec organized their society around religion, the Aztec believed that human sacrifices were necessary to keep the gods pleased and to ensure abundant harvests. Thousands of prisoners of war were sacrificed.

Maya, olmec, Aztec and incas
Both the Maya and Aztec empires shared a strong emphasis on religion and rituals in their societies. They both built impressive temples and pyramids for religious ceremonies, practiced human sacrifice, and believed in gods that influenced all aspects of life. This religious focus played a significant role in shaping their cultures and societies.
Aztec
The Maya. The classical maya civilization began around 250-300 AD and collapsed around 900. The Aztec were only around for about 200 years before the Spaniards defeated them in the 16th century.
We know more about the Aztec and Maya civilizations compared to other Mesoamerican cultures due to the extensive written records and archaeological findings left behind by these societies. The Aztecs and Maya had advanced writing systems and complex societies that were well-documented, allowing researchers to gain detailed insights into their history, culture, and beliefs. Additionally, the conquest of these civilizations by the Spanish in the 16th century resulted in further documentation and study of their traditions.
The Maya civilization fell much sooner than Aztec civilization.
