In Central Mexico for a long time lived a
lot of tribes, speaking different languages.
They were skilled farmers and artisans.
The Mexican aborigines created their first
states early.

Archaeologists believe that they were
similar to the city-states of the ancient
Mesopotamia. The major city centers were
Teotihuacan, Cholula, and Shochikolko.

4.

Their temples and palaces still impress
with the perfection of proportions and the
grace of decoration. Indians reached the
heights of skill in sculpture, the
manufacture of vessels and other artistic
products.

5. Religion.

The Aztecs had many gods. After
capturing some city or people, they added
his gods to their own. The conquerors
acquainted the conquered with their gods.

Therefore, the Aztecs had several deities
of the sun, several deities of water, several
deities of the earth. Many gods, according
to the Aztec legends, lived in the
underworld. Also, the Aztecs came with
myths.

Tales of the gods, who were worshiped by
their neighbors and predecessors, closely
intertwined with the Aztec legends.
