Aztecs

how do the aztec store there food

emperor tuci

The true answer is Francisco Pizarro....

Hernan Cortes

A couple of things are for example. Aztec Empire/Mexica people were a mix of 3 major Cities (One was head, the other Religious capital and the other Economical capital) They spoke/speak nahuatl. They lived in Mesoamerica (Oaxaca valley, now Mexico City)
They feared the Sungod were very superstitious. The warriors were ordered to fight other tribes in order to get either slaves, sacrifices and/or tribute+land. (Flowery wars)


The Aztecs used their merchants to scout the land and find weak Empires that they can either conquer or battle. They used cocoa beans as money were very capitalistic. (a woman slave cost about 30-50 cocoa beans while special feathers of maybe the Quetzal bird would reach 1000 cocoa beans (They would love to show off how rich or elegant they were and how brave) The Aztecs could not conquer and did not want to conquer the Tlaxcala or the Tarascans for they were a great source of sacrificial prisoners.
They also had schools for both women(how to cook and serve the man) and men(either how to be a priest (expensive!), warrior, farmer, craftsman or merchant-spy)
They also invented chinampas which were basically floating farms


The Aztecs did wage war against the Spanish and the Spanish lost many battles in the beginning until disease became widespread and killed many Emperors right after each other which slowly killed their morale


Now the Incans did not believe an individual could own anything, everything belonged to the Sungod. Sapa Inca. Which happened to be their Emperor. And nobody stole or lied (many ex-conquistadores have mentioned in regret that they were the ones to bring European traditions like raping and deceiving) The way they managed this was that it was very centralised in Cuzco and the Emperor had many Generals and Priest that would speak on his behalf. The people in power also spoke a different language then the common folk, who spoke mostly either Aymara or Quechua, but which included many more languages before the Spanish missionaries forced them to learn Aymara or Quechua)
The Incan Empire did not last long in comparison but they inherited many Huari buildings. The were great roadbuilders and very now and then there would be a shelter with food and a place to sleep or get some Coca leaves to chew on(gave them energy and hid their hunger) They used quipu's which were strings with knots on it with different colours and sizes which one would understand what kind of product they would need and how much of it. These roads were also very safe even at night because these posts would light a fire and bring light. Very few peoples did not want to be part of the Incan Empire and thus many were incorporated. The Incan empire sometimes would move a few people from side of the empire to the other side with brought cultural integration and the peoples would learn from and another and not start riots. The Incans preferred to sacrifice animals instead of people (but it wasn't uncommon)
The only people who were able to fully subdue the Incans expansionist dreams (and only in the South mind you) were the Mapuches (my favourite tribe if I may add)
They created a much larger empire and many more people under their dominance than the Aztecs.
Anyways, after a long civil war where to Princes fought for dominance which left the army and the Empire tired and injured. Atahualpa(the Southern older prince but son of a non-incan un-married woman) was killed after supposedly throwing a Bible on the floor and commanding the death of his brother (Huascar, of legal noblebirth was captured during the civil war)


The Spanish then simply created a puppetstate out of the Incan Empire
Also Inca begins with an I and Aztec with an A :p

112,000,000

It wAs called poinsettia.

Nobles

Tribute lists show what items, like bird feathers, greenstone or jade, and textiles, that peoples controlled by the Mexica sent back to Tenochtitlan. Uprisings against Aztec control were common, meaning that armed conflicts occurred with regularity.

The AZTECS wrote dots for their numbers

Spanish Millitary superiority.

Well to us quite badly. They sacrificed peoples hearts for there gods as they thought when the sun went down it would never come back up. So they sacrificed a new heart everyday to keep the sun coming up. Children were also treated badly.

Aztec children had a hard life. Loads of punishment and pain. For one, girls had to get thrown into wells at dawn to speak to Aztec gods, normally the depth of these wells would be 20 metres deep. At noon they would take her out (if she hadn't drowned) for her to tell the Aztecs what the gods told her and what ever she said everyone believed. More info on children of the Aztecs. Boys were taught by there fathers until they were 10 years old and then they were sent to school where they learned about religion and got military training. Girls sometimes went to school but very rarely. Normally they would just stay home and learn every day skills such as sewing, cleaning and things that were important to everyday life by there mothers.

Newborn babies got it to. When they were born they had there hands tied up and there feet together as well to keep there soul inside. They were neglected while tied up so evil spirits wouldn't attack the baby.

Broad heads were common with the Aztecs and parents didn't want there children to be common. So when they were born the got two pieces of wood and tied it on either side of the babies head to make it thinner, for at least 2 days.

So if broad heads were common people made there children's heads thinner, but other Aztecs thought that was getting common too so the bandaged there babies head to make it egg shaped.

Cross eyed kids are cute. Who says? The Aztecs. They also tied a piece of wax in front of the baby or Child's head on there head board (remember to make there heads thinner) or a lock of there hair happening to fall over there eyes.

Children were sent to collects mud wasp nests. The mud wasps larva were heated until the sweating maggots came wriggling out ad they ate them.

Children were punished back then by getting hung over a fire with added chillies t make it extra nippy for the eyes.

The Aztecs were hostile.

Mexico

Definitely the dog.It was part of their diet, remember that there were no livestock known to them.

He was using a Aztec woman named Malinche. Then Malinche led Cortes and his men to the Aztec City, Tenochtitlan. Cortes was determined to break the power of the Aztecs and took Moctezuma hostage. The Aztecs then called Malinche a traitor. Which then they battled, the Spanish had an advantage in battle because they had better weapons and horses. The Spanish had wiped out millions of Aztecs,which led to the end of the Aztecs.

Yes, Aztecs paid taxes. Those who wanted to be sacrificed had to pay tributes annually.

they were the eagle warriors(not sure)

The "Aztec Indians" did not live in mountains; they started in central Mexico and spread from their. The Incans inhabited the Andes mountains though. By the way, they are not Indians.

They didn't have months as such, like periods based on the lunar cycle. Within their year they had periods of about 20 days, which would be the closest idea of a month. There were 18 of these periods, so you could say that they had 18 months in their year.

you make it out of clay

The Aztecs swap ed or tray ed ins ted of money like i want an necklace for that orange.

yes i think so because it was cerimonial paint

They didn't, but local tribes under the control of the Aztecs did. For example the Tlaxcala, they helped Cotes because they hated the Aztecs because they always used them as sacrifices.

They lived in several countries in South America but usually in Mexico and Chile
