186 Words1 Pages
Montezuma brought the Aztec civilization to it’s prime state, having extended as far south as current-day Nicaragua, as well as tried to bring a bureaucracy to the ancient tribe. Mayans on the other hand didn’t focus on conquering. They built temples for worship or pyramids for the deceased leaders, one of the most famous being Pakal the Great. And the last emperor of the Incan tribe, Atahualpa’s death from Fransisco Pizzaro was the end of the Incan tribe, whos land then went to the Spanish. Ancient Aztecs, after being driven out of any place they tried to settle, had one legend. They believed that long ago, their sun god visited a priest and spoke of a day when they would see an eagle, perched on a cactus, holding a snake in it’s mouth.
