The Aztec Empire originated from a group of nomadic people who settled in Mexico City after seeing an eagle perched on a cactus with a snake in its beak, as their gods had foretold. They established the city of Tenochtitlan on an island in Lake Texcoco. Over time, Tenochtitlan grew into a major city with causeways connecting it to the mainland, aqueducts, sewers, plazas and large markets. The Aztec ruler Montezuma sacrificed tens of thousands of prisoners at a time to appease the gods like Huitzlopochtli, the sun and war god, believing this would ensure the sun's victory over the forces of

The Aztec civilization began in the 12th-13th century in the Valley of Mexico. They arrived as a small, nomadic group but built a large empire through conquest. The Aztecs developed advanced cities with infrastructure like Tenochtitlan, which had palaces, temples, markets and canals. They also invented cultural elements like the calendar, popcorn, and the passion flower. The Aztec empire declined when the Spanish led by Hernan Cortez invaded in the 15th century and defeated the Aztecs, whose weapons were inferior.
Egyptians vs Mesoamericans
Ancient Egypt and Mesoamerican civilizations like the Maya and Aztec shared some surprising similarities despite being separated by half the world. Both built pyramid-like structures for religious purposes, had calendars with 360-day cycles and harvest festivals, and respected women's roles more than other ancient societies. They also both believed their rulers had divine status and had comparable pantheons of gods despite developing independently.
Unit 2, Lesson 2
1) The document discusses several early Spanish explorers including Columbus, Balboa, Cortes, and Pizarro and their discoveries in the Americas.
2) It explains that Cortes, with only 500 men, was able to defeat the powerful Aztec Empire of 200,000 soldiers through alliances with other tribes, the use of horses, guns, and European diseases which devastated the native populations.
3) It also summarizes that the Spanish, under the rule of Charles I and his desire to spread Catholicism, greatly increased their power and established a vast empire in the Americas through both the wealth obtained and conversion of native populations to Catholicism.

The Aztecs built their capital, Tenochtitlan, on islands in Lake Texcoco in central Mexico. They constructed houses from grass and mud and built extensive networks of roads, canals, temples, and palaces connected by causeways. The Aztecs developed a complex society with a strong government ruled by an emperor, a common language using glyphs and codices, and a tribute-based economic system. However, their empire was eventually conquered in the 1520s by the Spanish conquistador Hernán Cortés and his allies, bringing an end to the powerful Aztec civilization.

The Aztec Empire
The Aztec civilization arose in central Mexico around the 12th century. They built upon the achievements of earlier civilizations like the Olmec, Zapotec, and Maya. The Aztec empire grew to dominate Mesoamerica through alliances and military conquests under rulers like Itzcoatl and Moctezuma Ilhuicamina. The Aztecs developed a complex society with an emperor and nobility at the top, and slaves and common farmers at the bottom. They also built a strong economy based on agriculture and long-distance trade networks. While the Aztecs achieved many cultural and technological advancements, their practice of human sacrifice and growing territorial conflicts contributed to their downfall with the Spanish conquest
The Aztecs
The Aztec /ˈæztɛk/[1] people were certain ethnic groups of central Mexico, particularly those groups who spoke the Nahuatl language and who dominated large parts of Mesoamerica from the 14th to 16th centuries. The Nahuatl words aztecatl [as'tekat͡ɬ] (singular)[2] and aztecah [as'tekaʔ] (plural)[2] mean "people from Aztlan",[3] a mythological place for the Nahuatl-speaking culture of the time, and later adopted as the word to define the Mexica people. Often the term "Aztec" refers exclusively to the Mexica people of Tenochtitlan (now the location of Mexico City), situated on an island in Lake Texcoco, who referred to themselves as Mexica Tenochca [me'ʃika te'not͡ʃka] or Cōlhuah Mexica [koːlwaʔ me'ʃika].
Sometimes the term also includes the inhabitants of Tenochtitlan's two principal allied city-states, the Acolhuas of Texcoco and the Tepanecs of Tlacopan, who together with the Mexica formed the Aztec Triple Alliance which controlled what is often known as "the Aztec Empire". In other contexts, Aztec may refer to all the various city states and their peoples, who shared large parts of their ethnic history and cultural traits with the Mexica, Acolhua and Tepanecs, and who often also used the Nahuatl language as a lingua franca. In this meaning it is possible to talk about an Aztec civilization including all the particular cultural patterns common for most of the peoples inhabiting Central Mexico in the late postclassic period.
From the 13th century, the Valley of Mexico was the heart of Aztec civilization: here the capital of the Aztec Triple Alliance, the city of Tenochtitlan, was built upon raised islets in Lake Texcoco. The Triple Alliance formed a tributary empire expanding its political hegemony far beyond the Valley of Mexico, conquering other city states throughout Mesoamerica. At its pinnacle, Aztec culture had rich and complex mythological and religious traditions, as well as reaching remarkable architectural and artistic accomplishments. In 1521 Hernán Cortés, along with a large number of Nahuatl speaking indigenous allies, conquered Tenochtitlan and defeated the Aztec Triple Alliance under the leadership of Hueyi Tlatoani Moctezuma II. Subsequently the Spanish founded the new settlement of Mexico City on the site of the ruined Aztec capital, from where they proceeded with the process of colonizing Central America.
Aztec culture and history is primarily known through archaeological evidence found in excavations such as that of the renowned Templo Mayor in Mexico City; from indigenous bark paper codices; from eyewitness accounts by Spanish conquistadors such as Hernán Cortés and Bernal Díaz del Castillo; and especially from 16th and 17th century descriptions of Aztec culture and history written by Spanish clergymen and literate Aztecs in the Spanish or Nahuatl language, such as the famous Florentine Codex compiled by the Franciscan monk Bernardino de Sahagún with the help of indigenous Aztec informants.
Tiffany Aztec Culture
The Aztecs lived on an island in central Mexico, where they developed a sophisticated civilization. They had a complex religious system centered around major gods like Huitzilopochtli and advanced knowledge of agriculture, architecture, mathematics, and astronomy. The Aztec empire grew powerful through conquest and tribute from conquered cities, though this later led to resentment from their own people. Gender roles divided labor, with men focused on education, warfare, and ruling while women managed households.
Mesoamerica
The document provides information about three ancient Mesoamerican civilizations: the Maya, Aztec, and Inca.

The Aztec city-state of Tenochtitlan began as an island in Lake Texcoco and grew in size and power through warfare and alliances that allowed it to obtain resources and prisoners for sacrifice. In 1446, Montezuma ordered a great embankment to be built to protect the expanding city. A few years later, the Aztecs formed a Triple Alliance with two neighboring cities that continued conquering lands, controlling an empire of four million people by the 16th century. When the Spanish arrived in Mexico, the great city of Tenochtitlan amazed them with its beauty unlike anything they had seen. Montezuma, the Aztec emperor, lived a life of luxury in a lavish palace where

Aztecs overview
The Aztecs settled in central Mexico around 1325 and built the magnificent city of Tenochtitlan, which had over 200,000 residents at its height. They developed advanced agricultural techniques like floating gardens to support their large population. The Aztecs were a warrior culture that carried out frequent human sacrifices of war captives to appease their gods according to their religious beliefs. In 1521, the Spanish conquistador Hernando Cortés, with only 500 soldiers but aided by thousands of Aztec enemies, was able to defeat the Aztec empire using firearms and cannons that the Aztecs had no defense against.

Aztec project
The Aztecs arrived in the Valley of Mexico around 1200 AD and built their capital city of Tenochtitlan on an island in Lake Texcoco. By the early 1500s, Tenochtitlan had grown into a vast urban center and the center of a large empire through military conquest. The Aztecs had a complex religion, social hierarchy, and economy centered around agriculture, trade, and tribute paid by conquered peoples. Their advanced urban planning, agriculture, and calendar systems allowed the Aztec civilization to thrive.
The Inca Empire
The Aztec Empire controlled an area with over 22 million people through conquest and tribute. Unlike European empires, the Aztecs did not have a formal bureaucracy and instead let regional kings remain in power as long as they continued paying tribute. Aztec kings held both political and religious power as representatives of the gods. Religion played a key role in controlling conquered peoples, especially through human sacrifice.

The aztec empire
The Aztec Empire rose to power in central Mexico between the 1200s and 1521. They founded their capital city of Tenochtitlan in 1315 and used conquest and alliances to build an empire covering most of Mexico by 1500, with a population of 30 million people. The Aztecs had a hierarchical social structure ruled by an emperor, with warriors and nobles above farmers and slaves. They built large pyramids and temples in cities like Tenochtitlan and had an advanced calendar, schools, and medical practices. However, their empire was destroyed when the Spanish conquistador Hernando Cortez allied with Aztec enemies and defeated them in 1521, killing an estimated 75% of the Aztec population through

Observability Concepts EVERY Developer Should Know -- DeveloperWeek Europe.pdf
Monitoring and observability aren’t traditionally found in software curriculums and many of us cobble this knowledge together from whatever vendor or ecosystem we were first introduced to and whatever is a part of your current company’s observability stack.
While the dev and ops silo continues to crumble….many organizations still relegate monitoring & observability as the purview of ops, infra and SRE teams. This is a mistake - achieving a highly observable system requires collaboration up and down the stack.

Removing Uninteresting Bytes in Software Fuzzing
Imagine a world where software fuzzing, the process of mutating bytes in test seeds to uncover hidden and erroneous program behaviors, becomes faster and more effective. A lot depends on the initial seeds, which can significantly dictate the trajectory of a fuzzing campaign, particularly in terms of how long it takes to uncover interesting behaviour in your code. We introduce DIAR, a technique designed to speedup fuzzing campaigns by pinpointing and eliminating those uninteresting bytes in the seeds. Picture this: instead of wasting valuable resources on meaningless mutations in large, bloated seeds, DIAR removes the unnecessary bytes, streamlining the entire process.
In this work, we equipped AFL, a popular fuzzer, with DIAR and examined two critical Linux libraries -- Libxml's xmllint, a tool for parsing xml documents, and Binutil's readelf, an essential debugging and security analysis command-line tool used to display detailed information about ELF (Executable and Linkable Format). Our preliminary results show that AFL+DIAR does not only discover new paths more quickly but also achieves higher coverage overall. This work thus showcases how starting with lean and optimized seeds can lead to faster, more comprehensive fuzzing campaigns -- and DIAR helps you find such seeds.

- 1. Look at the following pictures about the Aztec Empire and facts and you will learn a lot.
- 2. The Aztec Empire is part of Mexico today. According to Aztec legend, the gods told the nomadic people who had entered the Valley of Mexico to search for an eagle peached on the top of a cactus. The eagle would be holding a snake in its beak. When they saw the sign on a swampy island in Lake Texcoco they established the city of Tenochtitlan The Aztec Empire Mexico’s Flag
- 4. Over the years Tenochititlan grew into a great city with open plazas and market places. They traded animals and food for money or other Animals!
- 6. Aztecs ate corn and beans. Tortillas grilled and dipped in tomatoes. They also ate pancakes stuffed with tadpoles. The Aztec used a lot of herb and prayer in their medicine. The Aztec also developed a writing system with pictographs that gave a image of the story. Poor tadpoles!
- 7. Their Calendar was very sophisticated for their time. It consisted of 360 days a year, over 18 months, excluding five days for sacrifice. It is approximated that this calendar was used 100 year before the Gregorian calendar, which is the calendar we use today.
- 8. Montezuma was the Emperor of the Aztecs in the Sixteenth Century. He was a conquering king who often went to war with his neighbours. He kept the gods on his side by making human sacrifices to the gods. Montezuma
- 11. Huitzlopochtli:the sun and war god. He battled the forces of darkness each night and was re-born each morning. There was no guarantee the sun would win, so human sacrifices were made.
- 12. Qutzelcotl was a former white skinned and bearded priest. He came from the east and promised to return. The god of civilisation and learning.
