Answer:

The Maya, Aztec, and Inca all worshipped multiple gods.

Explanation:

  • The Inca religion was born out of respect for the forces of nature. The ancient Peruvians worshiped the spirits of nature and creatures such as jaguars, snakes, and condors. They also used their religion to unify the large population of their empire. The main god of the Incas was the Inti, the Sun. He was the Provider of Life and the protector of the Inca people. The Inti brought them warmth and light. When it fell in the ocean each evening at sunset, the villagers were frightened that the sun could not swim under the Earth to reappear the next morning in the East.
  • The whole life of the Mayans is inspired by religion, hence the state organization is theocratic.The Mayas worshiped the forces of nature, their main gods were: Hunab Ku (the creator), Lord of the heavens and god of the day. Itzamná (son of Hunab Ku). Chac (god of rain, and fertility of agriculture). Ah Puch (god of death). Yun Kaax (god of corn)
  • Much of Aztec life and culture was determined by religious beliefs. A powerful priestly caste was responsible for organizing ritual ceremonies, directing education centers and making predictions about various aspects of society and the politics of the empire. The Aztecs adopted the religious beliefs of the neighboring and subdued peoples. Their religion was polytheistic, although a few main deities predominated. The most important Aztec gods were related to the solar and agricultural sky. One of the most characteristic aspects of religion was the practice of sacrifices. The shedding of blood, by the priests themselves or by the immolated, animal or human victims and the offering of hearts.
