The Aztecs, a remarkable civilization that thrived in central Mexico from the 14th to the 16th centuries, are well known for their rich culture, impressive architecture, and intricate social structure. At the height of their power, they established a vast empire centered around their capital city, Tenochtitlan, which was a marvel of engineering and urban planning.
Known for their advancements in agriculture, the Aztecs cultivated various crops using innovative methods such as chinampas, or floating gardens. They also had a complex religious system that included a pantheon of gods, rituals, and ceremonies that often involved human sacrifices. This civilization left a lasting legacy in the Americas, influencing various aspects of culture, language, and art that continue to be studied today.
