Historian

Religion The Aztecs were very brutal and vicous when it came to their religion and gods. They would have human sacrifies for the gods, but they wouldn't sacrifice them any old way though. The Aztecs would give the human sacrifices a strange-tasting potion, which would make them fill drowsy to drink.Most of the time the way they would sacrifice the the humans was by having theirhearts cut out with a sharp knife. This sacrifice is preformed quickly and is almost painless. However, there are also painful and slower ways of being killed. You could be thrown into a lake and left to drown or you could be skinned. Most f the time the way you are sacrificed is dependent on who you are being sacrificed to.

Arts The Aztecs had stone workers, who carved statues; scribes, who painted pictograms; potter, whom made pots for various things; and feather workers, who would create statues from rocks among other things.Stone workers would create statues from rocks and would create objects made from green jade, black onsidian, and transparent crystals. They were trained from and early age and their skills were passed down, worker from worker. Aztec potters didn't use a spinning wheel, they shaped the clay with their hands or would carve it.They often designed the inside of the pot, then they would paint it. Feather workers used feathers for elaborate thingssuch as headresses which were made from tropical birds. The feathers were worked intio design. They would also make clothing out of all sorts of feathers from tropical birds for the nobility and royalty.

Folktales The story of Huitzilopochtli is one of the many myths told by the Aztec peoples. Born in war, he became the Aztec's guiding spirit for conquest. Another story, The Legend of the Suns, was often told as the story of Adam and Eve is to us. According to the myth all humans on Earth were created and destroyed four times, each cycle was called a Sun. The Aztecs believed they lived under the fifth Sun and that was also destined to die. The dreaded death of te fifh sun was needed to be delayed or the world would end.
