Answer:

Columbus himself had made that assumption. His discoveries posed for him, as for others, a problem of identification. It seemed to be a question not so much of giving names to new lands as of finding the proper old names, and the same was true of the things that the new lands contained. Cruising through the Caribbean, enchanted by the beauty and variety of what he saw, Columbus assumed that the strange plants and trees were strange only because he was insufficiently versed in the writings of men who did know them. "I am the saddest man in the world," he wrote, "because I do not recognize them."

In Aztec society chocolate with widely available true or false

Vika [28.1K]

Question: In Aztec society, chocolate was widely available. True or False.

Answer: True.

Explanation: Everyone could enjoy cocoa, regardless of their social status. When the Mayans were conquered by the Aztecs, they were forced to pay taxes (tributes) to the Aztecs. This was paid in cocoa, so the Aztecs could always have an extra supply. For Aztecs, the cacao seed was known as the gift of Quetzalcoatl, the god of wisdom. It had so much value to them that it was even used as a form of currency and they would pay food, clothes, taxes, gifts, and offerings to their gods using cocoa beans.
