Their empire was conquered by the Spaniards in 1521, but Aztec culture has left a lasting mark on the Mexican way of life. The Aztec empire was established in less than a century. It encompassed the Valley of Mexico, a huge oval basin about 7500 feet above sea level. Although the valley is in the tropics, its high altitude gave it a mild climate. The land was divided into numerous small states. Eventually, the entire area was united under an emperor... The Aztecs were fierce warriors who believed it their duty to sacrifice the people they captured in battle to their gods. On a gentler side, the Aztecs composed music, wrote poetry, and were skilled in medicine. " |
