Aztec script

Aztec script was a form of writing used by the Aztec civilization, combining ideograms and pictographs to represent ideas, objects, and sounds. It wasn't an alphabet but a complex system where symbols conveyed meaning directly or helped form words. Aztecs used this script mainly for recording history, tribute, and religious texts on codices made from bark or deerskin. While it was sophisticated, it relied heavily on context and shared knowledge, making it different from alphabetic systems. This writing method effectively communicated important cultural and administrative information within Aztec society.
