I say this because in document c it stated , “ Rows of chinampas plots stretched across the lake as far as the eye can see.” This quote is saying that since the Aztecs had an enormous number of people they had to have large plots of chinampas as well. This relates to my thesis because this achievement shows how they have grown in agriculture. I think we should also place more importance on agriculture because in document C it said,” the men on the right plant and harvest the maize (corn) while the woman on the left grind and roll it into tortillas.” This quote is stating that while men do one thing , Women are doing another , It also shows how they’re building up teamwork .

Another major difference between the Adena and Aztec cultures is their daily activities. On the one hand, the Adena has a simple daily life that they are hunter-gatherers, living in extended family groups and notable for their agriculture, pottery, artistic works and extensive trading network. On the other hand, Aztec ‘ways of life were more complicated due to the difference of its social status.

It has fascinating landscapes and the surroundings are quite amusing. Along with that, I liked that the admission for this place is totally free, so people who don’t like wasting money or can’t afford to go to the museums could go to this one for free and enjoy. Furthermore, the reason for me choosing this place for this paper is not because this place is free, but the fact that I am very interested in learning about the African-Americans and the contributions that they did in the United States. Since middle school I had always learned about the African Americans and the things that they had to go through in order to survive.

This empire arose from a small group of Quechua speaking people, otherwise known as Inca’s, and built the largest imperial state in the western hemisphere.

Another criterion of mine was that a great community allows freedoms for all its members. The inforgraphic states that there were some women who were able to rise to positions of status.

At first the Incas used the silver for jewelry and temples, but soon the spanish conquistadors found the mountain and began to use the mita system to extract the silver for themselves.
