Aztecs

The Mayan civilization used to sacrifice live humans in order to appease their gods. It is said that they would remove the still-beating heart from a person, remove the person's head, and then throw their body into a pit.

The empire expanded because the empire ruled and battled to gain more land and land. Like a stake. Everytime a new emperor was chosen, they had to get more land then they currently had than before. Hope this helped you.

it included a number of independent city-states with competing rulers

Aztecs and Myans both are polytheistic, which means they both believe in many gods. Also, they both have sacrificial ceremonies where they give blood to the gods and kill enemy warriors that they have acquired from won battles.

Hernando Cortes conquered the Aztec Empire in Mexico in 1521AD. This was because of the conquisradors lust for gold and glory. This helped set the way for Spanish colonization of Mexico

The Aztecs were alive from approximately 1325-1521 AD.

~Hope that helped!!!!

Most Aztecs were rarely over 5'6'' meaning that's the average height with the context in what I have read and increased the height by a few inches (because he has better health than most commoners, and possibly well with exercise and sleep), If we look at this painting, we can see Montezuma on the left and Hernan Cortez on the right. We can assume Montezuma is somewhere from 5'7'' and 5'9'

As civilization dawned on Americas, people shifted from old ways of hunting and gathering and embraced improved ways of doing agriculture and rearing livestock. They also adopted improved cultural systems and leadership styles in communities.

He built over 70, many of which he modestly named after himself. The most significant is today's Alexandria, but this is not the one he built, which became submerged by a sea rise nearly a couple of millennia ago.

The arrival of people from other lands affected al-andalus because they were misplaced from their original land.

Well, the Greeks went way before the civilization we call the Aztecs. If we wish to compare a western civilization with an eastern one like the greeks, we should look toward the Mayans or Olmecs.

Yeah, I'm looking for the same answer on my history test....lol

Although the main contribution of the Inca was their architecture, they also contributed to many other things. They built many extensive road ways, bridges, and aqueducts that they constructed by themselves. They were also unique in their ways of governing conquered tribes, and they created extensive farming areas using terraces. They had fit large stones together to building their cities; There was no mortar needed and the structure could withstand earthquakes.

The Spanish invasion was not a meeting of equals, where each side could try to convert the other. The Spanish generally had overwhelming military power. More importantly, they had magic that must have come from the gods (especially guns), and even looked like the gods. When the Spanish told the Aztecs to believe in Jesus, there was no debate and rarely any resistance - the Aztec people accepted the teachings of the Spanish.

Your question makes no sense. What period in history are you asking about?

You used the tags "US History," "Incas," and "Aztecs," but Spanish conquerors defeated the Incas and Aztecs more than 250 years before the United States was founded.

You should also explain what you mean by "holdings."

in previous years, the Aztecs had plundered them and used their young a human sacrifices. Wouldn't you?

They used amber for decoration and for jewellery.

long before the spanish conquistidors had landed in the Americas, moctezuma's people had long ago recieved a prophocey that a man with light hair and skin would once again return to their abode and he would lead them to greatness and their crops would flourish.

they invented terrace walls which helped them farm

They captured neighboring tribes, and made them into slaves. They had 14,000 miles of well built roads, They invented Terrace farming,freeze dreid food,use of gold & silver,panpipes,hanging bridges etc. They also had stict laws and harsh punishment which kept anyone from breaking the rules.

Mexicos geograpy. The Aztec empire WA in present-day Mexico

The Aztec were very accepting of the Spanish explorers initially. They believed to have received omens nine years prior to the arrival of the Spanish and expected them to be their protectors.

Hernando Cortes became famous for being a Spanish conquistador and explorer who defeated the Aztec empire and claimed Mexico for Spain. He set sail for the New World at the age of 19, and joined an expedition to Cuba later in life.

Argument could be made for both sides but i believe the romans
