I hope you enjoy the slide
2. The Religion of the Aztecs
The Aztecs were polytheistic (worshiped many
gods and goddesses)
Their main god was Huitzilopotchli because he
told them to settle where an eagle was on a
cactus with a snake in its mouth
They sacrificed people from defeated armies
by taking out their heart and putting it in a jar,
when it dried out they believed the gods ate it
4. The Aztec monetary unit
The Aztecs had 2 kinds of money quachtli and
cocoa beans
Quachtli is a type of cloth and has a lot more
value than cocoa beans
The Aztecs sold stuff from people to animals
to corn or tomatoes
6. The government of the Aztecs
The capital of the Aztec empire was
Tenochtitlan
Their most powerful leader was Huey Hatloni
They also had nobles that were consulted
prior to making some decisions
They also collected a lot of respect (a.k.a.
Money) from their defeated cities
