Question

Out of the three civilizations which one would you live in? You have Aztec, Inca or Maya and give a couple reasons why you would or would not live with that civilization

Answer 1

I would be part of the Aztec since it would be cool to live in a world without grumpy red neck neighbors also America at this time would have been still a unknown place to the rest of the world so I would get some peace and quiet....

Answer 2

Well all 3 civilizations believed in and practiced human sacrifice. The Mayans, however focused more in science, astronomy, and several aspects of nature. They only practiced human sacrifice in the most important of rituals. The Aztecs were a more aggressive and war driven civilization, with human sacrifice more common, so as to appease the sun god and that would in turn keep the sun alive. The Inca had many complex beliefs and ceremonies, which also frequently involved human sacrifice. They believed in worshipping their ancestors along with their gods, and their rulers were all direct descendants of the sun god, Inti. They also believed in nature worship, and that many objects contained magical powers. So, to conclude.. I would probably want to live in the Mayan civilization. They were very advanced for their time, and you would probably have a much less chance of being sacrificed. Plus, they are the only civilization with surviving groups of Mayans today. There are ancestors and some traditions and practices still alive from the other two civilizations today too.
