The other day in history we learned about the ancient Mesoamerican civilizations. We learned about the Mayans and how they were very civilized compared to many other of the native cultures in Mesoamerica. They were great at math, astronomy, building, and how they just disappeared without a trace. We also learned about the Aztec and how they were a very savage civilization. They offered human sacrifices to their gods by cutting out the hearts of people while they were still alive and then cutting off their heads. They were located where Mexico City stands today. They were destroyed by the Spanish after the arrival of the conquistadors because of war and disease. Those are the two civilizations we learned about the other day in history.
