Aztec and Inca Civilizations
I think the Aztecs were more astounding, in hotshot of the captions I read that one of their squares was twice as large as the city of Salamanca surrounded by porticoes daily sixty thousand people are buying and interchange all kinds of merchandise that the world has to offer embracing the necessaries things of life. In the kindred square there are some people who constantly go around watching sells and the measures used for sales these people have been hold up to go around and stop unfair deals or break the measures completely.The hands and wo custody who agree to be sacrificed are thrown to their backs, so they can be sacrificed to their gods and without uttering a word and remaining perfectly still spell a priest comes over with a stone knife to cut their shopping centre out. This is one of the things as to why I think the Aztecs were more impressive because of the discipline they had, even when they are having their heart cut out while they are still alive.The boys and gi rls were brought up differently with a few similarities. The differences for boys were they were expect to have more responsibilities such as growing to become savage some brave and warriors, fishermen, farmers and craftsmen, like their fathers. The daughters were expected to follow their mothers and work at heart managing the house and raise the children.Something similar both boys and girls had in common was they were taught their responsibilities from a very young age, they were also expected to go to train for at least a little time between the ages ten and twenty, the school the rich or the gifted were able to attend was called calmecac, there was some other school that to the highest degree of the population attended who were not rich or considered gifted, which was called tepochcalli. Their (was little difference) in (Aztec religion and civil society.The tlacatecuhtli or chief of men controlled all the unearthly ceremonies) who (was also the military leader under the tl acatecuhtli were several(prenominal) religious and other offices which included military generals. Priests and priestesses were very important in society they acted as) scientists (and) doctors, and (taught science, art, music, dance, history, and counting. They also knew astronomy and astrology. They had to perform) very (difficult ceremonies). (Religion played an important subdivision in Aztecs lives and was very complicated because they adopted many of the) aspects of the (people they conquered.They had three eclipse gods Huitzilopochtli, (Hummingbird wizard the native and) the (chief god of the tenochca, Huitzilopochtli was the war and sun god), Tezcatlipoca (smoking reverberate chief god of the Aztecs in general) and Quetzalcoatl (sovereign plumed serpent widely worshipped throughout Mesoamerica and the god of civilization, priesthood and learning). Below these three gods were four creating gods who unploughed themselves from the human world. Under these were a large number of other gods, the most important) was (tlaloc, the rain god) chalihuitlicue, (the god of growth and Xipe, the flayed one a god machine-accessible with spring.The Aztecs worshipped about) one thousand (gods, scarcely the sun god was the most important. Religious ceremonies were held in a temple called a teocalli. The temples had pools for ceremonial cleansing, gardens, existing quarters for a priest, and racks to hold the skulls of victims. The most prominent part of Aztec religious life was the role of human sacrifice. It was practiced in all of Mesoamerica but the) tenochca (used sacrifice on a grand scale. We dont know a great deal about the details, but we can successfully reconstruct its character and justification with a high level of accuracy).
