Aztecs

According to Roman and Greek sources, Phoenicians and Carthaginians sacrificed infants to their gods.

The Spanish were able to conquer the Aztecs because the Aztecs were not very advanced in technology, where as the Spanish had technology like swords, armor, things that the Aztecs didn't have then. So the Spanish took advantage of this and terrorized the Aztecs completely, killing thousands, and taking remainders as slaves.

Another answer: The spanish soldiers made effective use of their military technology against the aztecs

the mayans were called the mayans, the aztecs were called the aztecs and the incans were called the incans. they also started at different times but ended though Spanish conquest around the same time.that is why they are sometimes linked ;)

A Spanish Explorer, named Hernando Cortes set foot in the Aztec empire in 1519. His expedition was to set across the land to find gold and bring the treasures to Spain. He conquered surrounding civilizations such as theTectonacs and Tlaxcalans. This may of been why he was able to defeat the Aztecs, as they were a very powerful empire. He also ruled parts of Mexico .

basicly Aztecs had tools made out of wood, bones, and steel.

Aztec's did not have iron and bronze to make their weapons

They used obsidian knives to cut open hearts.

The Aztec Empire was located in Mexico- the Valley of Mexico to be exact.

The capital, Tenochtitlan, was built on raised islets in Lake Texcoco.

They had guns and horses the natives didn't which were a powerful advantage. The took advantage of their hospitality and then betrayed them. They killed their leaders. The Europeans carried diseases the natives weren't immune to that killed staggering numbers.

The Spanish were experienced horse riders, musketeers and cannoneers. They also carried many diseases that the Indians were not immune to.

The Spanish took advantage of both empires hospitality. and along with their superior firepower and European diseases, conquered the two great civilizations.

The fall of the Incas started with the kidnapping, ransom and murder of Chief Atahualpa.

The fall of the Aztecs began with the misbelief that Hernando Cortes was Quetzalcoatl, an Aztec god. Moctezuma II soon saw he was not and offered him gold and gifts to urge him to turn back. This only encouraged Cortes to continue his mission. Upon entering the city of Tenochtitlan, Cortes kidnapped Moctezuma II and murdered him in the house they had graciously given to him.

Back in the Aztec times (around 1500's and 1600's) priest's were like gods they were very important. One day one of the Aztec priest's had a vision of an eagle eating a serpent while sitting on a cactus. And one day someone saw a eagle eating a serpent on a cactus and that where they stayed!!

The Aztecs had two types of calendars.

The first is the scared calendar known as the Tzolkin. It combines the numbers from 1 through 13 with a sequence of 20 day-names. It works in a similar manner to our named days of the week, and their date within each month. So you might have 5-Chikchan (like our Sunday the 5th) followed by 6-Kimi (as we would have Monday the 6th). After 260 days the same number/name combination will re-occur, and the calendar starts anew. Their use of the vigesimal (base 20) numbering system probably relates to fingers and toes, whereas the 13 nicely fits the growth phase of the moon which isn't visible when new and appears full for two days on end, thus appearing to have a 13 day growth cycle. Alternatively, the length of the Tzolkin may be related to the human gestation period of nine months (273 days). It has been suggested that 260 days is the time between a woman suspecting her pregnancy (she doesn't menstruate) and when she gives birth.

The second is the agricultural calendar known as the Haab, or vague year. It consists of 18 months, each of 20 days. An addition of a five-day month (a period of apprehension and bad luck named Uayeb) gives us 365 days, an approximation of a year. This calendar's primary purpose was to keep track of the seasons, for seasonal and solar events would occur on roughly the same day of each year. The Maya were aware of the annual quarter day discrepancy, but it is not known if they ever did anything about it.

These two independently running calendars each begin again every 260 and 360+5 days. However, every 52 years they coincide.

Inca Government

The Inca empire was like a pyramid with the Sapa Inca at the top. The empire was divided into 4 regions ruled by men called opas. Below them there were more layers of government.

To help rule their vast empire the Incas created an efficient network of roads. The Incas also made rope suspension bridges. As well as the roads the Incas had messengers called chasquis. Messages were carried by relay. Groups of messengers lived in houses by main roads and at all times two of them kept lookout. If they saw another messenger approaching one of them would run to meet him. The two messengers would run together for a while and the message was passed on from one man to the other. Using this relay system messages could be sent over long distances very quickly. Inca messengers could take messages 240 kilometres in one day.

Furthermore although they never invented writing the Incas kept records with a device called a quipu. It was a cord with strings of different thickness and colours hanging from it. Knots were tied at different positions in the strings. The colour and thickness of the strings and the positions of the knots all meant something.

The Incas did not have prisons. Instead for serious crimes such as murder, stealing and blasphemy offenders were executed by being pushed off a cliff. Less serious crimes were punished by cutting off the hands or blinding.

They realized that the Inca empire was the city of gold. The Spanish became poor during this time so some Spanish people set sail and brought back stories about the city of gold. So Francisco Pizarro set sail to Peru and found the city of gold (Inca empire). He then treated them like slaves and made them change religion to Christianity.

Although Teotihuacan is wrongly believed to be founded by the Aztecs, it was built by a more ancient, unnamed civilization between 400 and 150 BC. By the time the Aztecs founded their capital city of Tenochtitlan in 1325 AD, Teotihuacan had been already abandoned -- actually, for almost 200 years, since around 1150 AD. Teotihuacan is the name given to the city by the Aztecs, meaning "city of the gods". Current archaeological studies point to famine, war or even climate change as the main culprit of its destruction.

Now, if you are asking about the city of Tenochtitlan (capital of the Aztec Empire), the main reason is war and an epidemic of smallpox brought by Spanish conquistadors in the 16th century, which decimated the city from 200,000 to just a couple of thousand by 1521.

Yes they knew of the wheel, but no carts or barrels.

The Aztec calendar is 365 days without a leap day (Xiuh-Pohualli). Like the Maya, the 20-day constant of a 360-day calendar will create a cycle with their 13 days so that the days which cycle numbered 1 thru 13 will also have the 20 names meet with them every 260 days (Tonal-Pohualli, or ritual cycle).

hmm...I would say that the Aztecs believed in many gods. They worshiped the son, the stars, the moon, the trees..etc. (or things like that)---Polytheism.

And i would say that back in the earlier centuries of this ever-changing world, the major / principal religion for the Spanish (and the majority of the European countries) was Christianity..or to be more specific. Roman Catholic. ya mum is fat

The Maya and Aztecs were and are Native Americans. They lived on the North American continent for thousands of years. Native American refers to to being native to North and South America. The Maya are still around to this day and they still inhabit a large amount of southern Mexico and are not mixed but are of pure blood and such tribes are the Lancandon, and The Chamula, which are but a few examples of Mayan tribes still in existence. The Aztecs and Maya inhabited Central America, in modern-day Mexico. Mexico is a native term as well, and came from the term Mexica which is the Aztec name for themselves pronounced "Mesheeca." The only division between natives are the borders that have been erected. People who are native to America stretch from Alaska and Canada all the way down to the southernmost tip of Chile and Argentina. They are all Native Americans.

a two hundred year time period between 1321 and 1521

Cortes thought they were disgusting. the way they sacrificed people from different tribes and fed there heart to their god.

1.horses

2. Diseases

3. Allies

well i only have two for now and the answer is not tuna fish like another person has said lol but the answers are they both sacrifce humans to the gods and the last one is they are polytheistic which means they believe in more than one god hope this could help. The aztecs calendar stone looks exactly like the mayan calendar that predicts the end of the world on 21/12/12

Hernán Cortés de Monroy y Pizarro arrived in Mexico in 1519

I didn't really understand your question but I think you mean the order of which they came in. First came the Maya, then the Aztec, and then the Inca :)

Of course that was the order of their creation. There was a period where their empires existed simultaneously.

The most sacred ones (usually burial masks) were made out of Jade. Ceremony masks were made out of wood. Some masks were adorned with colored stones and decorative metals. Poor Mayans made masks out of palm tree bark or paper mache.

Cortes completed his conquest of the Aztecs in the year of 1521.

We don't know. Any answers given are speculation.

However we can compare with other massive structures built by other ancient civilisations and this can give us clues as to likely methods.

My best guess would be that the stones were each put on by hand using many people and the structure built from the ground up. The stones these pyramids are constructed from do not appear to be too big for a man to move an individual block, so this is not as hard to explain as structures built from very large stones.
