Aztecs

One extremely important Spanish explorer and conquistador, named Hernando Cortes, explored a good part of modern day Mexico.

The Mayan civilization was composed of city-states.

Both civilizations were polytheistic. They had their own gods who had their own distinct functions and roles as with the pagan religions of Ancient Europe. The Aztecs chief deity was said to be Quetzalcoatl where as the Mayans of the Yucatan called theirs Kukulkan and the Mayans from south of the Yucatan called theirs Gukumatz

yes

Most websites that i've looked at don't give a lot of good information on this subject. However, there are two ways we can look at it. We can call Hernando Cortez a conqueror because he brought down the Aztec empire, which ultimately was an end to a culture. The other way we can look at him is like this: Hernando Cortez was not out to seek wealth, fame, and glory. Cortez' mission was to bring Christianity and claim this new land in the name of Spain. Let's look at the Aztec culture itself. Human sacrifices were almost too common to the Aztec. They captured warriors from other tribes and would sacrifice them to their gods. They would claim that the universe would be unbalanced if the sacrifices didn't take place. This culture practiced cannibalism, they tortured, ect. Pretty gruesome to say the least. So i view Hernando Cortez a liberator, because he brought down such an evil empire, brought Christianity, and "liberated" oppressed tribes.

Aztecs were conquered by Spanish conquistadores on 1521. The fall of the Mayan civilization is still a debate to this day, but everything points to ecological disaster. Finally, it is believed Olmecs declined due to either a volcanic eruption or environmental collapse.

For gold. The Spanish were greedy and obsessed with gold.

I think you are referring to the commonly known Aztec Empire. However, they referred to themselves as the "mexica" (pronounced "meshika") people. Their capital city was Tenochtitlan, located on an "island" in the "Lago (Lake) Texcoco." They were conquered by the Spaniards, lead by Hernan Cortes, in 1521.

The legend says that the Aztecs were a tribe that came from the northern part of Mexico (Aztlan). One of their gods (Huitzilopochtli) told them that they should build a city in the place where they found an eagle eating a snake, on top of a cactus. The Aztecs found this sign in the Lake of Texcoco. Therefore, they built their city on the top of the lake. Nowadays, Mexico City.

This symbolism is kept in the flag.

They sold cloaks, maize, gems, feathers, animal skins, soldiers, beans, cotton, shells, building materials, stones, and cacao.

Yes. They did. It of course involved different rules, but had the same concept of opposing teams throwing a ball through a hoop to score points. Of course, being the Aztecs, a more gruesome side involved the losers becoming sacrificial and the ball was a decapitated head of their foes.
