    Through All Evil, There is A Light: Sacrifice “If you don’t SACRIFICE for what you want, what you want becomes the SACRIFICE” -Unknown.

Both influenced the empire equally and stood out as the unique factors of the Aztecs’ thriving civilization. Although the Aztecs had great advances toward agriculture, human sacrifice should be further emphasized, due to the many hidden facts to why and the intentions of the Aztecs to perform these horrid rituals.…

    An assignment was given to me that had me decide on whether historians should emphasize Sacrifice or Agriculture and I didn’t agree with the fact that I had to choose. Historians shouldn’t have to pick one topic, they should be able to emphasize on both equally, without one or the other the Aztecs wouldn’t be who they were, and we might not have known about them because what they did just wasn’t important enough. The Aztecs were a very large group of people and they needed a place to live, so they continued to conquer people and move onto an island. They conquered many lands by fighting in flower wars, and during these wars they captured their victims for the Sacrifice. The Aztecs were also very skilled in agriculture and had the genius idea…

    If left up to the text of the 16th century the fall of the Aztec Empire would be accredited only to Cortes, but as Kevin O. Collins stressed in The Fatal Flaws of the Aztec Empire we see that we must look past the conquest and look more to the political, and religious view of the Aztec. Writers, such as William Prescott saw the flaws in the manuscripts written by those under Cortes and stressed that it was the mismanagement of Tenochtitlan that caused its fall. Unfortunately for this paper I will not be focusing on the fall of the Aztec Empire, but I will be focusing on what made the empire great; its symbolism, myths, temples, and if only for a little its ruler Motecuhzoma the second. Tenochtitlan, the capital city of the Aztec Empire was in what is now present day Mexico City. Tenochtitlan was immense in size housing over 200,000 inhabitants at its high; the city was constructed on an island.…
