Aztecs

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.

The year of 1519 is an important date in history in that Hernando Cortes' was set foot into the Aztec Empire in today's Mexico. He began to end the empire and by this act began the full efforts of Spain to conquer a large part of the New World. Up to that point the Spanish explorers had only staked out territories in Cuba.

200 Spanish conquistadors came and ambushed the Inca ruler. in the process they killed millions of Incas without loosing one of there own. Over the years the remaining Incas tried to regain there city but all attempts failed.

Not at all; the Aztec was a civilization with a highly hierarchical society, headed by the emperor or uei tlatoani, and all his relatives were the top civil, military and religious leaders. Then, there was the royal court or pilli, who had their nobility titles acquired by means of individual merit, not inheritance. The middle-high class or mayeques were artisans of gold, silver or wood crafting. The common people or macehuales were those who didn't have any outstanding achievements in any field or area of knowledge. Finally, there were the slaves, who were at the end of the social ladder, and included petty criminals and women and children captured during conquest of other tribes.

The Aztec civilization was a large empire with a very centralized form of government and a very distinctive capital city (Tenochtitlan), while the Maya civilization was composed of a series of city-states with no centralized government.

At its pinnacle Aztec culture had rich and complex mythological and religious traditions, as well as reaching remarkable architectural and artistic accomplishments. A particularly striking element of Aztec culture to many was the practice of human sacrifice. In the beginning stages of Tenochtitlan, development, Aztec life was very difficult in their undesirable location. Tenochtitlan was located on a marshy island with limited resources, they built a few thatch and mud huts, and some small temples. The Aztecs would have to work constantly to maintain a city on swampy land. There was also continuing tensions between the Aztecs and the neighboring peoples on the mainland who despised them. Despite these obstacles, the Aztecs worked hard to improve the quality of their lives. They adopted an agricultural system of farming called the Chinampas. and in a short period of time, the land was transformed into a fertile and highly productive island. The center of Tenochtitlan was made up of many temples, the most important one being the Main Temple, palaces, pyramids, and a great plaza. The center was roughly five-hundred and fifty square yards, but seemed much bigger because everything was packed so tightly together. There were close to a dozen temples in the center, but the most important one was the Main Temple. The Main Temple was dedicated to rain god Tlaloc and sun god Huitzilopochtli, whom the Aztecs considered their protector. The Main Temple was a large temple, which words could not describe. It was free of any sort of litter and had an incredibly tall wall in which another city could be constructed. It was important to the Aztecs of Tenochtitlan, and they worshiped daily in it. There were also many palaces and pyramids. The palaces were dedicated to the kings and nobles, and the pyramids were made for sacrifices. The Aztecs of Tenochtitlan though it necessary to nourish the deities with human hearts, because if not, then the sun would not come up daily, or there would be an enormous drought. The people mostly used prisoners of war for their sacrifices. The main place of sacrifice was the Great Pyramid. It had one-hundred and fourteen steps, and added to the magnificent beauty of the city. The Plaza was in the dead center of the city, and was whitewashed. It had no litter whatsoever, and great walls surrounding it. The Plaza and all of these structures make the center look like a thing of beauty.

Motecuhzoma II (Also known as Montezuma or Moctezuma)

Egyptian shoppers brought homemade items such as mats, cloth, cakes and bread to barter for the supplies they needed. For example, a woman with a duck could barter her duck for a necklace. Many of these exchanges were based on an Egyptian unit of measurement called the deben. Goods were placed on one side of a scale and metal debens were added to the other side until both sides balanced. This weighing process helped keep trading fair, so a debens worth of dates could be traded for a debens worth of wheat. -iknowthat .com "life in ancient egypt"

The Spanish, led by Hernándo Cortés, conquered the Aztec people in Mexico.

It was actually quite horrible, the Aztec didn't like Cortes, and it was justified too, considering he and his men basically destroy their civilization.

In 1519, Hernando Cortes was able to conquer the Aztecs because he had a large army and was able to capture the Aztec king Montezuma. When Cortes went to Mexico, the Aztec thought that he was the god Quetzalcoatl and welcomed him with honor.

The Aztecs believed in jaguar gods and the feathered serpent. Most important was the sun god, Huitzilopochtli, who took the form of a giant hummingbird. The Aztecs believed that the appearance of the sun every morning depended on their devotion to Huitzilopochtli. They also believed the sun drew its energy from human blood, so they practiced human sacrifice on an extremely large scale.

a variety of environmental existed throughout this region.

Since memories began the native peoples of this country fought each other. They formed alliances and dissolved them as the need arose. A great deal of the fighting was over territory encroachment or the need to hone their skills. With few exceptions, the Indians did not recognize the need to join together to fight the European Invaders since the natives were much superior warriors. Also tribal customs, legends and lifestyles were too different to form lasting alliances.

The tools the Sioux Indians used are bows & arrows, spears, war clubs, &buffalo-hide, the hunters used snares. Also adzes, axes, needles, looms, awls, scrapers, hammers, drills, knives, slings, tinder boxes, spoons, mortars & pestles, hooks, nets, flints, and many more.
