..RECREATION The village men and boys played 'The hoop game'. The way you play this game is by getting a ball and hitting it with your hip and making it go in the hoop. This game is a little like basketball. They also played hockey with no ice and a fire burning ball. Who ever lost either of these games the man of the dead killed the team who lost and brought them to the underworld. The women sewed and made pottery with their daughters.
..The women would get married at 16 years old. The men got married at 20 years old.
..CLIMATE Most of the time the aztec empire was burning hot!!!!
The Aztecs traded cacao beans, jaguar pelts, cotton, rubber, and feathers from tropical birds.
The Aztecs DID have a religion. They were strong religeous people. They worshiped gods and goddesess. The Aztecs made pyramids for their gods and goddesess. Their largest pyramid was made for the sun god. The aztecs had a 260 day calander. As sacrfices to the gods they ripped people's hearts out daily and rolled them down the pyramids. Montezuma the 2nd and later Hernan Cortes were empirors of the Aztecs land at some point ( wacth video for more details.)
The Aztecs greatest accomplishments were the 260 day calander and their pyramids.
