Aztecs

The Mexica (the proper name for the Aztecs) were deeply symbolic people who used metaphor as a vehicle to convey ideas and beliefs. Xipe Totec was a deity of rebirth, agriculture, and spring. Shedding his skin in the manner of the snake in order to introduce a new rejuvenating cycle of life; unfortunately, this is routinely misunderstood as the literal skinning of a person.

The dominant account of history recounts accusations of people being skinned alive and their remains being worn or placed on statues of Xipe Totec. No physical evidence has ever been found to support these claims.

Further, It is important to realize that the accounts of Cortes and other conquistadors, about the Mexica, are politically driven-- they should not be taken without critique or question. In order for Cortes to justify acts of mass murder, such as those committed in Cholula and Tenochtitlan (places that which conquistadors killed several thousand defenseless people), it was necessary to dehumanize the Mexica and to accuse them of unimaginable cruelties and violence.

The sculptural depictions of Xipe Totec portray the god in the process of shedding his own skin, in order to represent new life. And I reiterate that the Mexica were heavily inspired by nature and animals which inhabited their environment along with them-- the snake in particular.

There were primarily two Aztec glyph languages: Nahuatl and Mixtec. Nahuatl was the most widely spoken and prominent language among the Aztecs. Mixtec was also used by the Mixtec people in the surrounding region.

The rift associated with the Sea of Cortez and California is the boundary between the North American Plate and the Pacific Plate. This boundary is a divergent plate boundary where the two plates are moving away from each other, leading to the formation of the Gulf of California. The rift is characterized by seismic activity and volcanic eruptions along the boundary.

its possible. They were killed by Smallpox they got from the Spanish Conquistadors. Cortez was the Spanish leader. Had the Spanish authorites captured Cortez, then the soldiers with smallpox would never have come to Tenochtilan which could have saved the Aztecs.

Three things that helped Spain defeat the Aztecs were armor, muskets/guns, and native allies

Both the Inca and the Aztecs were defeated by the Spanish. Horses and guns were able to defeat spears and arrows. The Spanish took the gold, silver, and jewels back to Spain and then forced the natives to farm for them. The Spanish also converted the natives to Christianity.
