Aztec culture

The Aztec culture, flourishing in central Mexico from the 14th to the 16th centuries, was known for its complex social structure, innovative agriculture, and impressive architecture, including the grand city of Tenochtitlán. They practiced polytheism, worshiping a pantheon of gods, and often performed elaborate rituals, including human sacrifices, to appease them. Aztecs excelled in arts, craftsmanship, and astronomy, developing a sophisticated calendar system. Their society valued education and hierarchy, with a ruling class, priests, and artisans. The Aztec Empire fell to Spanish conquistadors in the early 1500s, marking a significant shift in the region's history.
