The Aztec Civilization: The Pre-Columbus Era
The Aztec civilization is one of my biggest fascinations when talking about the pre-Columbus era. When realizing that the Aztecs way of living was very sophisticated for that time era it really amazes me. My biggest question is how did they realize that tasks such as garbage disposal and personal hygiene were necessary in order to maintain a healthy population. With the claims that the Aztecs had god’s that placed order and ruled their society, it makes me wonder if the god’s where intelligent life forms sent, such as prophets to teach the people how to live. The farming methods of the Aztecs were also very productive and efficient to maintain a substantial amount of food for there people. For the irrigation fields where they grew there crops,
to still be in use tell this very is a very impressive thing. I would like to find out why their existence declined to excises if the process of there living was more than sufficient for substantial living.
