The Spanish Conqiustadors. They may have only arrived with 600 men and 16 Horses but they quickly gained the trust of the Aztecs, who believed they were gods, and preformed a swift coup d'etat. Nevermind the fact that the Spanish did have technologically advanced weapons, that still wouldn't have been enough. What ultimately brought the downfall of the Aztecs was the combined alliance between rival indigenous tribes and the Spaniards. Many other factors helped speed up the conquering of the Aztecs such as the many new diseases the Europeans brought to the Americas such as syphilis, influenza, and small pox.

Aztec pyramids were actually temples, so the priest and the sacrifice (usually human) would walk up to the top.

Many people find their human sacrifice repulsive and barbaric. Also, they conquered many places, and ruled others through fear and oppression, which ended up being part of their downfall. However, many ancient civilizations had their own atrocities.

The Mayans, Aztecs, and the Inca settled in different parts of the world. The Aztec in central Mexico, the Mayans in much of Central America and parts of Mexico, and the Inca in South America, particularly in the Andes Mountains of Peru. All of these groups however, originated from Asia. This is because of the migration of their ancestors from Asia when they crossed the Bering Strait. As the groups continued to migrate, each group stayed within that area and started their own culture.

Cortez conquered the Aztec Empire, modern Mexico and part of Honduras.

Crop health depended on the rain which was undependable, and the whole area has no running water above ground except for rivers that were quite a distance away. To make it easy, settlements were not built far away from these water sources. Farming irrigation when needed was done by using canals and terraces, called Chinampas, a raised area to plant crops in and move amongst the areas by canoe. They built canals and diverted rivers to provide water to their crops.

Inca did not have a writing system/ they only had messengers between the Incan cities. *Also, they lived very far away from each other, and without horses, would have had to walk thousands of miles in order to discover each other.

The Mayans introduced the concept of zero to mathematics and an astronomical calendar. Much of modern Mexican cuisine is Aztec, including the use of chilis and cocoa. They also domesticated the turkey.

Hernán Cortés was the leader that led the conquest of the ancient Aztec people.

The Aztec ruler had great structures built, similar to the Egyptian rulers. They also made laws and headed the military of the civilization.
