Aztec Reflection

Society:
The Aztec society had only 3 main classes: Nobles, intermediate class, commoners. Each of the classes had their own jobs in the society. Noble class's job was to control military, owned large estates, ran the government. The nobles lived very rich. The priests were also counted as the nobles. The intermediate class were mostly merchants and skilled artisans. The Aztec society was mostly made out of commoners, such as: farmers, fishers, craftsman, and soldiers. At the very bottom of the society classes were slaves. They were usually captured prisoners.
Belief:
The members of the society had to learn about religion and about their gods. Their religion was based on worshiping agricultural gods. The Aztecs believed almost in 1000 gods. Priests scheduled the days for religious practices and religious dates/ceremonies. Humans were only sacrificed if they were prisoners or criminals.
Legacy:
The Aztecs left after themselves the things that now days we use. They left after themselves Astronomy. Their astronomy helped us to make calenders and scheduled days that help us to schedule stuff for us. The astronomy helped us to look at stars and know everything we need. They also left their codices. I know now days we dont use codices, but the archaeologists use them to find things.

Mayans and Aztecs:
Mayans and Aztecs were similar, because they both had a writing system and their culture was the same. They both believed that they worshiped more then 1 god, their legacy is similar too. The only thing that makes Aztecs and Mayans different is that Aztecs were conquered by the Spanidors and Mayans just disappeared.
