Aztec Warriors-Personal Narrative

Family was very important in the Aztec culture. In everyday life of a family each person had distinctive roles. Women were often married at 16 years old and during school they were taught to cook and taught the basic necessities of raising a family. Men were taught arts and crafts mostly by their fathers. While the moms taught their daughters. The Aztecs really believed in the education system as a very valuable thing in life and most dearly instead young people went to school. The two types of schools were telpochcalli and the calmecac. Both boys and girls went to these schools but were separated from each other. The tephochalli were for the common families and were taught myths, history, religion, and the Aztec ceremonial songs. Here, boys

The great Aztec Empire, Tenochtitlán was overpowered and taken by Hernán Cortés. When the empire fell, many Aztecs were infected with a disease from Europe, smallpox. It was their first exposure to the disease and they had no immunity. Over a course of months, the culture and civilization of the fallen empire have changed.Numerous people wonder about the Aztecs who have survived and still remain in Tenochtitlán. On a trip to the city, we stopped an Aztec resident on the street to answer a few questions. The resident requested to remain anonymous for safety reasons.

In the book Daily Life of The Aztecs On the Eve of the Spanish Conquest by Jacques Soustelle you are walked through what life was like for the Aztecs. You are in 16th Century Mexico, or to them Mexico-Tenochtilan. Soustelle does an excellent job immediately putting you in character with the introduction of the book. The book is broken down into seven different main chapters detailing major aspects of the Aztecs lives in the late 1500’s. You learn about where they lived, to the wars they fought, and what life was like for them from birth to death. In this paper I will further discuss four topics that were very crucial in the daily lives of the Aztecs. I will help you find a better understanding in their daily life as well as the many changes they migrated through over time. The four topics I will be discussing are: 1. Culture and Customs of the Aztecs 2. Civilization vs Barbarism 3. Art and Architecture 4. Education and Home Life.

The Aztecs are really interesting people that were alive back from 1400 - 1600 AD. They lived very different than us, because we don’t no human sacrifices because we don’t believe in any of the gods (due to science)This paper will show how the Aztecs lived, including their empire, Government and Agriculture.

The Aztec-Spanish War was more than a war leading to the demise of the Aztec empire; rather it was one of the most remarkable and significant wars of European history, beginning the colonization of Mesoamerica. The Spaniards who came to the New World were known as conquistadors, Spanish for “conquerors”. Hernando Cortez, one of the most ambitious Spanish conquistadors, left Cuba in 1519 with 500 men, 11 ships, horses, and countless other provisions. The exploratory mission, supported by the governor of Cuba: Diego de Velásquez, soon turned into one of conquest. Driven by the pursuit of gold, glory and god, Cortez was determined to use any means necessary in his desire to conquer one of ancient history’s most prominent civilizations: The Aztecs.

How did the entire Aztec population get wiped out? In theses two books I read, “Conquest of New Spain“ by Bernal Castillo and “Broken Spears” by Miguel Portilla, to piece together to form my own opinion of how a small group of Spaniards was able to completely take control of and completely wipe out the Aztec empire.

One of the most advanced civilizations of the ancient world was thriving for centuries in Central America. This empire had built magnificent temples, was plentiful with gold and silver, and was brought to its knees by the Spaniards. The Aztecs. This mysterious, unworldly nation was destroyed in less than a month’s time. The Spaniards, who erased hundreds of years of history and culture, were honored and held in high regard, but at a price. The destruction and carnage that the Spaniards left across the once majestic empire, was the heinous crime of genocide.

The article I read is called The Aztecs: Blood and Glory: are about the Mesoamerica ancient advanced civilization of the Aztecs used to be settled off the central highland now a modern central Mexico. The ancient civilization lasted from 1428-1521. The Aztec become one of the most powerful civilization from Mexico of that specific time period. Tenochtitlan is the capital of the Aztecs and becomes the most important establishment in Middle America history. The Aztec empire is completely ruled under one supreme ruler called a buey tlatoani. The people believed their ruler is half-god and half-human. Interesting fact, which the ruler does not pass down the throne to the net heir, but have to be selected from their military council that rules the royal houses.

The year of 1519 is when the Spaniards first entered the great Aztec empire. The conquest of the Aztec empire was an eventful battle. I know this because not only did I live through it, but I fought for my home. During the Spanish conquest, us Aztec warriors were prisoners most of the time. However, we always put up a fight until the very end. Follow along with me, as I walk you through my memoir of the Spanish conquest of Mexico.

Throughout time women have had to fill a role, defined by her culture, in order to be considered desirable. Wherever or whenever she might have been from she struggled with the pressure to fill her niche in society. These pressures vary greatly from one culture to another, but some cultures are particularly demanding. Women in pre-Colombian Aztec society were held to a very strict code of behavior. From the day they were born to the day they died their domesticity was held up as being the most important aspect of their lives. This was probably necessary because of the warfare oriented nature of the men in their culture. This made having a woman at home to keep the civilian life going incredibly important. Without her there

The panic in the eyes of the Aztec emperor’s victim escalated hastily, making nothing comprehensible and fearing what the life ahead of him has in store. Taking advantage of each element of the human body, the most important reason for sacrificing humans was donating the blood to their god. The Aztecs utilized every resource available to them to make them a proficient and accomplished civilization. The Aztec civilization adapted their way of life in Mesoamerica to become a notorious culture; from their advanced rituals and authority they have continued their legacy to today.

Hello I am Catalina Juarez. I am involved in this case because I am Hernando Cortes wife. I have known him before his first expedition in 1519. We didn’t marry until 1522. Throughout our marriage I realized that he had a mental illness. Of course everyone, even I thought he was just flat out crazy but his condition along with his mental condition got worse and worse. He always said that it wasn’t him who killed them all it was a disease. Something in the air that got them.

He tried convincing me that we have to leave but I just thought he was crazy and then one day I woke up and some things he had was

He started with his Aztec Warrior. His honey colored plaything. She was the jewel of his collection. During a college trip to Mexico City he’d found her in a little curio shop by the side of the road. She sent his heart racing greed and lust. He happily emptied is savings account for her. Ever the warrior she stood watch over the others when he wasn’t home. The keen edges of her spear a wicked reminder that she wouldn’t suffer interlopers. She was a resplendent goddess in her feathered headdress.
