Brian created an Aztec project that included models of important structures from Aztec civilization. The project included a pyramid with two temples dedicated to gods, an adobe brick house typical of Aztec homes, a round mud corn silo for storing the primary Aztec crop of corn, a walled ball court where the sacred ball game was played using stone rings, a steam bath house where fires were lit to produce steam, and a map indicating that the Aztecs lived in Mexico.

Conclusion

3. The Great Pyramid
• The Great Pyramid of Tenochtitlan has two
temples at the top of the pyramid. Each
temple is dedicated to a god. The gods
are, the god of sun and war and the god of
rain. The pyramid is made of a sloping base
with a flat square or rectangular top.

4. Aztec House
• Aztec houses were made of adobe brick. They
had one main room and very little furniture.
There were low tables, chests for clothes, and
reed mats for beds.

5. Corn Silo
• This is a corn silo. It is round and made out of
mud. The roof is thatch which is long grasses
or reeds. The Aztecs farmed for a living. Corn
was the main Aztec crop.

6. Walled Ball Court
• The Aztecs played Tlachtli,a sacred ball game.
It was played in a capital “I” shaped walled
ball court like the one I have built. The game
was played by two teams. The Aztec players
tried to hit a hard rubber ball through hollow
stone rings on the side of each wall. Often the
rings had monkey or snake shapes carved in to
them. The hollow rings were 27 feet high.
Players could only hit the ball with their
elbows, hips and knees.

7. Steam Bath House
• Taking steam baths was a part of the Aztec’s
daily life. The steam bath worked when a fire
in the fireplace next to it was lit. This made
the walls hot. They poured water on the walls
to make the bath house steamy. Then they
would take a steam bath.

8. Where Did The Aztecs Live?
• This is where the Aztecs lived - Mexico.
