Incas

Inca's made trumpets and bells out of materials like brass and stone and others like the pototo (a type of conch horn) and shaker bracelets (dried llamas toenails)

Maya

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.

They were less violent than the Aztecs, yet they were still fierce warriors. They mostly sacrificed animals. If it was really important then they would sacrifice people. Unlike the Aztecs, who almost always sacrificed people.

The Aztecs were alive from approximately 1325-1521 AD.

they usealliancesto build their empire by using them to agree to other city-states

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.

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.

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.

Francisco Pizarro (1478-1541) was a Spanish conquistador who traveled through much of the Pacific coast of America along Peru. He "discovered" the Incan empire and conquered it brutally and quickly, stealing immense hoards of gold, silver, and other treasures.

The Inca empire ceased to exist because by 1527 fifty percent of the Inca people got the disease called small pox, so the people with small pox eventually died.

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."

yes but they didn't have a chance against the conquistadors

the conquistadors had diseases (small-pox, ect) that they brought, it spread like crazy, killing everyone

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.

The Inca empire's capital was Cuzco- It was also the only capital throughout the very large empire at any point in time. The Cuzco city was very large and populated with over 2,000,000, some think even higher!

Maya civilization was present in Central and South America since 2600 BCE according to recent discoveries until 900 AD at its peak.

Spain conquered the Inca and Aztec Empires. By the time of European arrival, the Mayan civilization had imploded four centuries prior.

Terrace farming enabled the Incas to farm the mountainsides of the Andes. That way a strong rainstorm would not wash away the crops and cause a massive mudslide. The Inca empire would not be destroyed the way the economy of Nicaragua was destroyed when a Hurricane turned the fields on the mountainside into a mudslide.

the mayans were called the mayans, the aztecs were called the aztecs and the incans were called the incans. they also started at different times but ended though Spanish conquest around the same time.that is why they are sometimes linked ;)

A Spanish Explorer, named Hernando Cortes set foot in the Aztec empire in 1519. His expedition was to set across the land to find gold and bring the treasures to Spain. He conquered surrounding civilizations such as theTectonacs and Tlaxcalans. This may of been why he was able to defeat the Aztecs, as they were a very powerful empire. He also ruled parts of Mexico .

Francisco Pizarro.

Pizarro and his men left Panama in 1530 and arrived in Peru in 1532, and took the emperor Atahualpa prisoner. After receiving a ransom in gold, Pizarro had Atahualpa killed anyway, and completed the conquest of the Incas in 1533. Pizarro founded the city of Lima and was killed there in 1541 by the son of a Spaniard he had killed in battle.

The Aztec Empire was located in Mexico- the Valley of Mexico to be exact.

The capital, Tenochtitlan, was built on raised islets in Lake Texcoco.
