4 Aztecs arrived in the Valley of Mexico in 1100s (central Mexico, including present day Mexico City). They built a magnificent city called Tenochtitlan (now Mexico City).
5 Diorama of Tenochtitlan
6 This was the Aztec s capital. It was created in the center of a lake! They built floating islands called chinampas by piling rich earth from the bottom of the lake onto rafts made of wood. Roots of plants grew down to bottom, anchoring the rafts.

10 In the 1400s, Aztec warriors began conquering other people. They made them pay taxes; noble Aztecs grew rich. Aztecs had an emperor; the nobles and priests helped the emperor all were very wealthy. Not everyone was rich most people were farmers.
11 Eagle Warrior Sculpture
12 How did the Aztecs discipline children? Some punishments included making them inhale smoke, holding them over fire in which spicy peppers where thrown, and puncturing their skin with thorns! Maybe that s what made the warriors so tough!
13 Aztec Discipline
14 Cities were religious centers; they worshipped their gods in pyramid-shaped temples. Sacrifice was an important part of the religious ceremonies (meant to honor the gods). Polytheistic (worshipped many gods): Sun, Death, Maize, Rulers, Rain, etc.

18 Cortes was a Spanish conquistador who reached Mexico in 1519 in search of treasure. His group was met by Aztec emperor, Montezuma II
19
20 How could such a small force conquer a huge empire? 1. Cortes knew how to use Spanish horse and guns to shock Aztecs (The Columbian Exchange brought these to the Americas). 2. Malintzin (a Mayan woman) gave Cortes the inside scoop on the Aztec empire & helped him form alliances against Montezuma. 3. Cortes had invisible help--diseases that killed more Aztecs than Spanish swords. 4. Montezuma believed Cortes to be Quetzalcoatl--an important Aztec god.

22 In 1521, the Spanish destroyed the Aztec capital.

27 In 1200 AD, Incas settled in Cuzco, a village in the Andes Mountains (now in Peru). The empire stretched 2,500 miles and ruled 12 million people. They used runners to spread news at a rate of 250 miles a day!

31 They were excellent farmers, builders, and managers. Cut terraces into the Andes to create farmland. Roads and aqueducts: Incans built more than 19,000 miles of roads (over mountains)! They also built canals and aqueducts to carry water to dry areas. aqueduct pipe or channel designed to carry water to a distant source; irrigates dry land

38 The nobles conducted a census to count people so they could be taxed. They did not have a written language. They recorded information on knotted strings called quipus. Each color represented a different item and knots of different sizes at different intervals stood for numbers.
39 Quipu Aztec Temple
40 Like the Aztec, the Inca were also polytheistic. The main god was the sun god. Sacrifice was a big part of their religion usually a white llama was used, but sometimes they sacrificed small children. They also believed in reincarnation.

45 In 1502, he arrived in the Americas and became very wealthy by exploring Panama. He heard a rumor that there was a great empire filled with gold in the mountains of South America
46
47 Pizarro led 160 soldiers to the Incan homeland. They raided Incan storehouses & fired guns at villagers. Incan emperor, Atahualpa, thought Pizarro was crazy. How could he stand up to an army of 80,000 Incan warriors? In 1532, Pizarro came up with a plan to defeat the Inca...
48 Atahualpa
49 Aztec Temple Terrace Farming
50 Spanish messengers invited Atahualpa to a meeting. He agreed & left most of his army behind--brought only 5,000 bodyguards. Pizarro s 160 soldiers attacked the Inca & kidnapped Atahualpa. Pizarro offered to free Atahualpa if he filled one room with gold & one with silver. Atahualpa kept his end of the bargain, but Pizarro killed him in 1533.
