Answer:
A cannon and soldiers on horseback.
Explanation:
From the description given by the Aztecs, it is likely that what they are seeing for the first time is a cannon and soldiers riding on horseback.
The Aztecs described it as "a thing that a ball of stone comes out of its entrails" and if it were aimed at a tree, "it shatters the tree into splinters", almost as if "the tree had exploded from within" which is a very good description of a cannon.
Also, they described something about men "dressing in iron" and their "deer carrying them" anywhere they wanted to go, which is a good description of armor-wearing soldiers on horseback.
The Church; during the Medieval era, the Catholic Church taught that art was expected to be used specifically to honor God. Medieval artists did not take credit for their work because they were supposed to be like gifts to God. However, with the rise of humanism, Renaissance artists began focusing on other, secular aspects of life like the human body. This did not make the Church happy.
It would have to be the lives lost, and the many other lives shattered by amputations and lost minds. Casualty figures have been revised upward. The overall population was about 31,000,000, not including about 4 million slaves. Of that total, half were women, which leaves some 15,000,000 men. There couldn't have been more than 5 million adult males. Out of those, some 750,000 died from wounds or disease, with over 1,000,000 afflicted (amputations, etc.) This represented almost 20% of the adult male population, and it was worse for the South (in proportion).
<span>The Battle of Gettysburg killed over 50,000 men in three days. Three years of the Korean war resulted in about 53,000 American dead. Ten years of the Vietnam War also resulted in about 53,000 dead. The Civil War was a holocaust.</span>
In 2016, California passed 900 new laws. In 2015, there were 930 new laws. About 900 laws will be passed in 2017 as well.
So, if you are counting only 2015, and 2016, there were approximately 1830 new laws in those past two years only in California. Not all of them are good, not all of them made people happy, but it is not the people who decide about this, unfortunately (or perhaps fortunately?).
