Aztec Civilization

Aztec civilization essential question how were both european and native american cultures changed after european contact with the aztecs ss6h1a: describe the ... – powerpoint ppt presentation.

• How were both European and Native American cultures changed after European contact with the Aztecs?
• Location Central Mexico
• Time Frame 1100 CE to 1521 CE
• Main City Tenochtitlán (present day Mexico city)
• (Based on Aztec mythology)
• The Aztec tribe lived in ancient Mexico for about 400 years. For the first 200 years, the Aztecs were constantly on the move. No one wanted the Aztecs as neighbors because they practiced human sacrifice in order to please the sun god.
• According to legend, the Aztec tribal god promised to show his people (the Aztecs) the place they were to settle and build a great capital city.
• He told them to look for an eagle perched on a cactus on a rock with a snake in its beak. This would be the sign that they had reached the place that would be theirs.
• The Aztecs found this eagle located near Lake Texcoco. They then built Tenochtitlán in either the year 1325 or 1345 (the actual date is uncertain)
• Aztecs greatest city had more than 200,000 people
• Located on an island on Lake Texcoco
• Had waterways for major streets
• Causeways linked the city to the mainland
• At the center was the great plaza with the great temple that was over 200 feet tall
• Where human sacrifices and offerings to the gods took place.
• The Aztecs believed that if they offered blood sacrifices to their gods, this would keep the sun alive and the world would continue.
• The Aztecs were divided into clans (called Calpullis) which were large family groups
• The clan was the basis of all Aztec society and government
• Aztec children were expected to share in all the work
• Writing Used picture writing but did not develop an Alphabet
• Aztec Calendar
• 365 day calendar
• The doctors practiced their medicine and operations on human sacrifices and with dead bodies from wars. They got a lot of their medicine from plants.
• Public education for boys and girls starting at age 13
• They taught lessons in citizenship, history and tradition, religious ceremonies and arts and crafts.
• Boys learned methods of warfare, girls learned singing and dancing skills
• The Aztecs believed it was a religious duty to be a warrior
• Used swords, bows and arrows, javelins, clubs and slings for weapons
• Aztecs went to war to get tribute (what losers gave to winners) and sacrificial victims for religious ceremonies
• Goal of Aztec warfare was capture, not kill
• Members of losing tribe became slaves or sacrifices
• 1519- Spanish Conquistador Hernando Cortes landed in Mexicoand developed a thirst for Aztec gold!
• The enemies of the Aztecs (other conquered tribes) joined forces with Cortes to take control of Tenochtitlan
• Cortés and his alliance headed to Tenochtitlán with 500 soldiers and 16 horses
• The Aztec ruler, Montezuma, thought Cortes was the god Quetzalcoatl and presented him with gifts
• Spaniards massacred many Aztecs during a religious ceremony and fighting began.
• The Spanish escaped and returned with more weapons and supplies and conquered the Aztecs.
• Weapons (guns and cannons)
• Horses (the Native Americans were terrified of them)
• Diseases (smallpox, measles, and chicken pox)
• The Spanish tore down temples and replaced them with cathedrals.
• They destroyed Aztec art and books.
• The forced them to become Christians.
• They enslaved many Native Americans.
• They spread their diseases and killed 7 million Native Americans within 50 years.

FALL OF THE AZTEC EMPIRE I can describe the events that led to the fall of the Aztec Empire, as well as explain the cultural legacy left by the Aztecs.

As the empire’s population grew, so did the need for farmland. The emperor and the nobles also demanded more tribute. To meet these needs, the Aztecs were almost always at war. The empire was at is height in 1502 when a new emperor, Montezuma II came to power. He demanded more tribute and victims for sacrifice. His harsh treatment and endless demands for tribute caused bitter hatred among Aztec subjects. Some began to rebel. Montezuma tried to repair the damage by asking for less tribute. But unrest had weakened Aztec power. • MONTEZUMA II • 9TH Aztec emperor • Ruled empire from 1502-1520 • As a young man, he was a distinguished member of the Aztec army and proved himself as a brave warrior. 1467-1520

THE SPANISH In 1519, a Spanish expedition led by Hernan Cortes arrived in the Aztec empire. It was seeking gold and glory for Spain. Montezuma met with Cortes in the hopes of avoiding war. But he was soon taken prisoner. Montezuma was later killed in the fighting between the Aztecs and the Spanish. The Spanish eventually were victorious. Diseases brought by the Europeans weakened the Aztecs. The invaders also had superior weapons, including muskets and body armor, and the help of thousands of rebels. In 1521, Cortes conquered Tenochtitlan after sieging the city. Tenochtitlan was under siege for 75 days until the new Aztec emperor, Cuauhtémoc, surrendered the city. The capital’s fall signaled the end of the Aztec empire. 25% of the Aztec Empire’s population was said to have died from disease.

Cultural Legacy of the Aztecs Thanks to discoveries by archaeologists, we know that the Aztecs built huge and unique structures. Visitors of Tenochtitlan and other Aztec cities would have marveled at the temples, palaces, and city walls. Evidence of Aztec achievements in building can still be seen in Mexico City. The Spanish built the city over Tenochtitlan, but part of the Great Temple remains. Along with the remains of the temple and other buildings, archaeologists have also found everyday objects. These include gold beads, pottery, and stone urns. Aztec artisans also produced beautiful feather headdresses, stone sculptures and jewelry set with precious stones.

WHAT AZTEC CITIES AND CITY LIFE WOULD HAVE LOOKED LIKE.

The Aztec Codices The Aztecs’ writing system did not represent the sounds of their spoken language. Instead, they used pictures and symbols, called glyphs, to represent words and ideas. The Aztecs collected their writings in books called codices. Each codex was made of a long folded sheet of bark or deerskin, filled with colorful pictures showing details of Aztec life. Historians have learned much about the Aztecs from these records.
