Ancient Aztec Civilization

The Ancient Aztec Civilization thrived in central Mexico from the 14th to the 16th century. Known for their impressive architectural achievements, such as the city of Tenochtitlán, the Aztecs excelled in agriculture, trade, and the arts. They developed a complex society with a rich mythology, where religion played a central role, often involving elaborate rituals and sacrifices. The Aztec Empire expanded through military conquests and alliances, becoming one of the most powerful civilizations in Mesoamerica. Their downfall came with the arrival of Spanish conquistadors in the early 16th century, leading to significant cultural and societal changes in the region.
