Mexica culture

Mexica (Aztec) culture was a sophisticated civilization in central Mexico, flourishing from the 14th to 16th centuries. They built impressive cities like Tenochtitlán, developed advanced agriculture with chinampas (floating gardens), and created rich art, mathematics, and astronomy. Their society was organized around a complex hierarchy and valued warfare, religion, and tribute to sustain their empire. Religious rituals included elaborate ceremonies and offerings to gods such as Huitzilopochtli and Quetzalcoatl. Their achievements in architecture, calendar systems, and vibrant cultural expressions remain influential, reflecting a deeply spiritual and innovative society that thrived before Spanish conquest.
