Question

(3.02 MC) Compare the emergence of advanced civilizations in Meso and South America with the four early river valley civilizations. How were the gods of the ancient Egyptians and the Aztecs alike?
(A)Both civilizations worshipped hundreds of gods.
(B)They both required human sacrifices.
(C)They both had the same names.
(D)They both discouraged warfare.

Answer 1

The correct answer is letter B.

It was common in Aztec civilization to sacrifice humans to celebrate their gods, so many were sacrificed, and although it seemed barbaric today, it was common at the time, and people were happy for their sacrifices.

Human sacrifice was not an uncommon practice in Egypt, so-called “retention sacrifice” was particularly popular.
