The Mayans made striking advances in writing, astronomy, and architecture. Both the Mayans and the Aztecs created highly accurate calendars. The Aztecs adapted earlier pyramid designs to build massive stone temples. The Incas showed great skill in engineering and in managing their huge empire. Aztec education was an important part of their culture. The Aztecs were very advanced scientific thinkers and mathematicians for their time. The Aztec number system was far more advanced than any other cultures at the time. In addition, Aztec science relied heavily on math. Which is why their calendars were highly accurate.
A silent trade is when you trade something without speaking whatsoever during the transaction. You basically just leave it to your actions, and try not to overthink it.

It would be the "c. Taklamakan" that was one of the most dangerous spots along the silk roads, since this area was both physically treacherous and lined with thieves
Answer:
Explanation:
African-American culture, also known as Black American culture, refers to the contributions of African Americans to the culture of the United States, either as part of or distinct from mainstream American culture. The distinct identity of African-American culture is rooted in the historical experience of the African-American people, including the Middle Passage. The culture is both distinct and enormously influential on American and global worldwide culture as a whole.
African-American culture is rooted in the blend between the cultures of West and Central Africa and the Anglo-Celtic culture that has influenced and modified its development in the American South. Understanding its identity within the culture of the United States, it is, in the anthropological sense, conscious of its origins as largely a blend of West and Central African cultures. Although slavery greatly restricted the ability of African Americans to practice their original cultural traditions, many practices, values and beliefs survived, and over time have modified and/or blended with European cultures and other cultures such as that of Native Americans. African-American identity was established during the slavery period, producing a dynamic culture that has had and continues to have a profound impact on American culture as a whole, as well as that of the broader world.[1]
Elaborate rituals and ceremonies were a significant part of African-Americans' ancestral culture. Many West African societies traditionally believed that spirits dwelled in their surrounding nature. From this disposition, they treated their environment with mindful care. They also generally believed that a spiritual life source existed after death and that ancestors in this spiritual realm could then mediate between the supreme creator and the living. Honor and prayer were displayed to these "ancient ones", the spirit of that past. West Africans also believed in spiritual possession.[2]
At the beginning of the 18th century, Christianity began to spread across North Africa; this shift in religion began displacing traditional African spiritual practices. The enslaved Africans brought this complex religious dynamic within their culture to America. This fusion of traditional African beliefs with Christianity provided a commonplace for those practicing religion in Africa and America.

here's what I found researching some websites.
"<em><u>These thinkers valued reason, science, religious tolerance, and what they called “natural rights”</u></em>—life, liberty, and property. Enlightenment philosophers John Locke, Charles Montesquieu, and Jean-Jacques Rousseau all developed theories of government in which some or even all the people would govern."
"The Enlightenment was influenced by reason because it was a time of optimism and possibility. People started to study human nature and society. What new views did philosophers have about government? These rulers inspired further rulers, and people began to believe that human reason could solve any problem."
"Montesquieu believed in the separation of power with checks and balances. Checks and balances are put in place to ensure that no one branch of government has too much power."
"Other enlightenment thinkers have influence on the US constitution. Volitaire's ideas are used. Volitaire believed in religious freedom which is practiced in the US today."
