Early civilizations p pt
The Aztec civilization arose in central Mexico in the 13th century and built the magnificent city of Tenochtitlan on an island in Lake Texcoco, constructing floating islands. They later expanded their empire through conquest, extracting taxes from subjugated peoples. Aztec society had an emperor and nobility who were wealthy, while most people were farmers. Human sacrifice was an important part of Aztec religion, with sacrifices meant to honor gods like the sun god. The Inca empire also arose in the late 15th century in the Andes Mountains of South America, eventually spanning over 2,500 miles. The Inca were excellent farmers and builders, constructing elaborate agricultural terraces and roads. Like the Aztecs, the In
Geographic Determinism in Latin America
The document discusses three early civilizations in Latin America - the Maya, Aztec, and Inca - and how their environments influenced how they lived. It describes the locations and time periods of each civilization. It then discusses challenges each civilization faced due to geographic features like dense vegetation, lack of water sources, steep slopes, and how they developed solutions like slash and burn agriculture, building aqueducts and floating gardens, and terrace farming.
The aztecs
The Aztecs lived in Tenochtitlan, which is now Mexico City, from 1330 to 1521 CE. They had a complex social hierarchy led by emperors, with nobles, priests, and warriors at the top and slaves at the bottom. The average Aztec home consisted of two sections, one for cooking/living and the other for bathing. Maize was a primary food source and was used to make tortillas and tamales. Children learned skills from their parents and faced punishments for misbehavior, though not as harsh as under Hammurabi's laws. Religion played a major role in Aztec society, with gods of war, rain, and agriculture central to their beliefs and rituals.
The aztec civilization
The Aztecs arrived in Central America around the 13th century and built their capital, Tenochtitlan, on a swampy island surrounded by mountains. They communicated using glyphs and pictograms, and recorded information in codices made from tree bark. The Aztecs believed priests should offer human sacrifices to gods representing natural forces to make crops grow and save the world.
Aztec Inca
The Aztecs settled in the Valley of Mexico in 1325, where they built the city of Tenochtitlán on islands in Lake Texcoco. They constructed floating gardens and built a magnificent city with stone houses, canals, and causeways connecting it to the mainland. The Incas settled in Cuzco, Peru around 1200 and grew under the rule of the leader Pachacuti in 1438. Pachacuti expanded the Inca Empire through conquest and built the famous lost city of Machu Picchu. The Incas were skilled farmers, builders, and managers, constructing an extensive road network and aqueducts. Their government was carefully organized despite having no written language.
Inca civilization
The Inca civilization had a highly organized agricultural system using terraces to grow crops like corn, potatoes, and quinoa. They stored surplus food by freeze drying it. Llamas were used as pack animals and for their wool, which was made into clothing. The Inca had specialized jobs and large cities made of stone with indoor plumbing. Their government was headed by the Sapa Inca, who was viewed as a god. People paid taxes to support the empire. They had an elaborate road system and traded throughout the empire without a monetary system. Record keeping was done using knotted string records called quipus.

The Aztec tribe lived in ancient Mexico for 400 years and practiced human sacrifice, believing their gods needed to be fed or else bad things would happen. They would sacrifice captured people from neighboring tribes, making them unpopular. The Aztecs settled in swampy areas and later built the great city of Tenochtitlan, establishing mandatory schools to educate children of all backgrounds. The schools helped Tenochtitlan become a large, advanced city. To feed the growing population, Aztec engineers created floating gardens in lakes.
Aztec life
The Aztecs had a complex farming system that allowed them to grow a variety of foods. They farmed small plots of fertile floating land called Chinampas. The Aztecs ate foods like corn, avocado, beans, chocolate, and insects. They did not eat peanuts. The Aztec empire was eventually conquered by the Spanish in 1521.

The Aztecs lived in ancient Mexico for 400 years. They originally moved frequently due to not being welcome as neighbors, as they practiced human sacrifice to please their gods. They eventually settled in the Valley of Mexico, building canoes to fish and trade. The Aztecs established a system of free public schools mandatory for all children, including girls and slaves, to educate the population and train specialists needed to build their civilization. Students learned skills based on gender and social class to fulfill different roles in Aztec society. As the population grew, the Aztecs created floating gardens on lakes to increase food production.
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.

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.

Key details are that the Aztecs practiced human sacrifice of up to 20,000 people at temples, they wrote with glyphs only priests could read, they used many effective herbal medicines, and their empire was conquered by Cortes through siege and execution of their emperor in 1521.
The Aztec Empire
erican cultures. Between A.D. 1345 and 1521, the Aztecs forged an empire over much of the central Mexican highlands. ... The Nahuatl speaking peoples began as poor hunter-gatherers in northern Mexico, in a place known to them as Aztlan.
Incas civilization
The Inca civilization flourished in Peru from 1400 to 1534 CE and built the largest empire in the Americas, extending from modern-day Ecuador to Chile. The Incas developed an advanced civilization with sophisticated urban planning, agriculture, and architecture. However, a civil war combined with disease epidemics brought by the Spanish led to the fall of the Inca Empire in the 1530s and its conquest by the Spanish.
Pre columbian mesoamerica #2 aztec
The Aztecs lived in the Valley of Mexico, with their capital city of Tenochtitlan built on an island in Lake Texcoco and connected to the mainland by causeways. They built an empire through conquest and required conquered peoples to pay tribute. The Aztecs practiced human sacrifice on massive temples and pyramids dedicated to their gods like Huitzilopochtli. However, the Spanish conquistador Hernan Cortes conquered Tenochtitlan in 1521, defeating the Aztecs and taking control of their land and gold.
WH Chapter 7 Incas
The Incas built a vast empire in western South America dominated from their capital of Cuzco. Under the Sapa Inca, who was considered divine, the Incas developed efficient government and communication networks, including an extensive road system and use of runners to relay messages. They also excelled at engineering, constructing buildings from enormous stone blocks without the use of mortar. The Incas had a highly organized society and economy focused on agriculture, and they respected religion and nature. However, civil war between the sons of the emperor Huayna Capac weakened the empire just before the Spanish conquistador Francisco Pizarro began his conquest in 1532, bringing the Incan civilization to an end.
The incas
The Incas ruled a large empire in western South America in the 15th and early 16th centuries. They originated in the Andes mountains of Peru, with their capital at Cuzco. Under leaders like Pachacuti, the Incas expanded their territory through conquest. At its height, the Inca Empire stretched along the Andes from Ecuador to Chile and included over 12 million people. The Incas developed an advanced civilization with impressive architecture, road systems, mathematics, and other achievements. However, their empire began declining in the 1500s due to internal conflicts. This weakened them and allowed the Spanish conquistador Francisco Pizarro to defeat the last Inca emperor Atahualpa, leading to the fall of

The Incas developed an elaborate bureaucracy to govern their diverse territories and subjects. Francisco Pizarro and the Spanish conquistadors were ultimately able to defeat the Incas and take control of the empire in the 1530s, due in part to their superior weapons and the diseases they unwittingly introduced.

Mutation Testing for Task-Oriented Chatbots
Conversational agents, or chatbots, are increasingly used to access all sorts of services using natural language. While open-domain chatbots - like ChatGPT - can converse on any topic, task-oriented chatbots - the focus of this paper - are designed for specific tasks, like booking a flight, obtaining customer support, or setting an appointment. Like any other software, task-oriented chatbots need to be properly tested, usually by defining and executing test scenarios (i.e., sequences of user-chatbot interactions). However, there is currently a lack of methods to quantify the completeness and strength of such test scenarios, which can lead to low-quality tests, and hence to buggy chatbots.
To fill this gap, we propose adapting mutation testing (MuT) for task-oriented chatbots. To this end, we introduce a set of mutation operators that emulate faults in chatbot designs, an architecture that enables MuT on chatbots built using heterogeneous technologies, and a practical realisation as an Eclipse plugin. Moreover, we evaluate the applicability, effectiveness and efficiency of our approach on open-source chatbots, with promising results.
