The document provides information on the major Mesoamerican civilizations of the Aztecs, Maya, and Inca. It discusses their religions, politics, economies, societies, and arts. The Aztecs worshipped gods like Quetzalcoatl and practiced human sacrifice. Their empire was initially ruled by three city-states and later a single emperor. The Maya lived in allied city-states and emphasized astronomy, mathematics, and a complex writing system. The Inca revered gods like Viracocha and had an advanced road network and storage system. They followed a feudal social structure under an emperor believed to be a descendant of the sun god.
The document summarizes three major pre-Columbian Mesoamerican civilizations: the Olmec, Maya, Aztec, and Inca. The Olmec were the first civilization in Mesoamerica, located along the Gulf of Mexico coast. They constructed large cities and carved colossal stone heads. The Maya flourished from 300-900 AD in present-day Mexico and Guatemala, with accomplishments including hieroglyphic writing, an accurate calendar, and the city of Tikal. The Aztecs ruled an empire from their capital of Tenochtitlan from 1400-1520 AD until conquered by the Spanish. The Inca Empire spanned South America with the capital at Cuzco until
The document summarizes four major Mesoamerican civilizations: the Olmecs, Mayans, Aztecs, and Incas. It describes their origins, geography, social structures, contributions to agriculture, calendars, and architecture. It also discusses how the Aztecs and Incas had powerful empires until they were conquered by the Spanish in the 15th-16th centuries.
This document provides an overview of the history and cultures of ancient Mesoamerican civilizations including the Olmecs, Zapotecs, Nazca, Moche, Maya, Toltecs, and Aztecs. It describes the origins and migrations of early peoples in North and South America, the emergence of advanced agricultural practices and urban settlements in Mesoamerica, and highlights key aspects of culture, religion, and society for each civilization. The document also summarizes the rise and fall of the powerful Aztec Empire and their defeat by the Spanish conquistador Hernan Cortes in 1521.
Mesoamerica was home to several early civilizations including the Olmec, Teotihuacan, Toltec, Maya, and Aztec. The Olmec, the first Mesoamerican civilization, emerged around 1250 BCE in southern Mexico and influenced later cultures with their colossal stone heads, pyramids, and writing system. Around 100-700 CE, Teotihuacan rose as a major city with over 200,000 inhabitants and featured the massive Pyramid of the Sun and Pyramid of the Moon. These early civilizations built impressive cities, pyramids, and temples and developed complex societies, calendars, and writing.
The Mayan civilization flourished in Central America between 300-900 AD, settling in dense rainforests where they cleared land for homes and farming. Their largest city was Tikal in modern-day Guatemala, and they organized into independent city-states each led by a ruling chief, who was sometimes a woman. The Mayans practiced polytheistic religions, making sacrifices atop tall pyramids to deities. By around 900 AD, the Mayan cities were mysteriously abandoned, possibly due to overpopulation, environmental degradation, or peasant revolts against heavy taxes.
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 document provides information about three ancient civilizations - the Maya, Aztec, and Inca. It describes the locations and key features of each, including their religious practices, advances in mathematics and architecture, and their eventual declines. The Maya built cities like Chichen Itza in Mexico and Central America and developed hieroglyphic writing and a calendar. The Aztecs established the city of Tenochtitlan in Mexico and had an empire centered around religious practices like human sacrifice. The Inca ruled from Cuzco in the Andes and built elaborate stone structures and roads while practicing rituals like cranial deformation.

The document summarizes the Olmec civilization of Mesoamerica from 1500 BCE to 200 CE. The Olmec inhabited the coasts of the Gulf of Mexico in what is now Mexico and were among the earliest complex civilizations in Mesoamerica. They built cities and ceremonial centers with earthen pyramids and sculptures. The Olmec were ruled by priest-shamans and had a theocratic form of government. They practiced agriculture, especially of maize, and engaged in trade. The Olmec religion involved shape-shifting shamans and nature worship. Their calendar, ball games, and human sacrifice rituals influenced later Mayan civilization.
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 Mayans lived in Central America between present-day Mexico, Guatemala, Belize, and Southern Mexico. Their land consisted of diverse ecosystems like rainforests, swamps, savannas, and volcanic mountains. Most Mayans lived in thatched huts made of wood and mud. Their architecture included temples with interior and exterior chambers used for different ceremonies. The Mayans had an advanced mathematical system using place values and a base-20 number system. They also developed accurate calendars to track the sun, moon, and Venus. The Mayans were polytheistic and built pyramids as temples to worship many nature gods. Their society was led by hereditary rulers and a council of priests and nobles, and
The Aztec civilization flourished in Mexico from around 1250-1522 AD. They built their capital, Tenochtitlan, on an island in Lake Texcoco and developed an advanced agricultural system using chinampas, or floating gardens. The Aztecs had a hierarchical social structure led by an emperor and ruled through conquest and tribute from neighboring tribes. They practiced human sacrifice on a large scale, sacrificing thousands each year to appease the sun god Huitzilopochtli. In 1519, the Spanish conquistador Hernan Cortes arrived seeking gold and converts to Christianity. Cortes took the Aztec emperor Montezuma II hostage and most of the Aztec population later died from warfare
The document provides information on three ancient civilizations of the Americas: the Maya, Inca, and Aztec. It describes the location, dates, government structures, economies, religious practices, and achievements of each civilization. It also highlights some of their most important sites, including Chichen Itza for the Maya, Machu Picchu and Cuzco for the Inca, and Tenochtitlan for the Aztec. Each civilization had a polytheistic religion and built pyramid structures. The Maya made advances in mathematics, calendars, and writing. The Inca developed an extensive road network and record keeping system using knots. The Aztec ruled a large empire and demanded tribute from conquered peoples.
Greek civilization emerged in Southeastern Europe and gave rise to classical civilization. The Minoan civilization on Crete influenced the Greeks and traded extensively. After a volcanic eruption, the Mycenaeans invaded Crete and established separate city-states. Two influential city-states were Sparta, a militaristic society ruled by two kings and elders, and Athens, which developed democracy under Solon and Cleisthenes. The Persian Wars united the Greeks against Persia and allowed Athens to emerge as the most powerful city under Pericles, though this dominance led to war with Sparta. Alexander the Great then conquered Persia and spread Greek culture across his vast empire, establishing the long-lasting Hellenistic civilization.
The Mayans had a great empire in Central America over 1500 years ago. They built breathtaking pyramid temples and structures out of limestone. Their architecture and advanced calendars that could predict astronomical events were remarkable technological feats for their time. The Mayans had an intricate religious system that involved human sacrifice to gods representing nature and war. They also developed a complex numeric system and one of the earliest forms of writing in the Americas dating back to 250 BC.
The Mayans lived in Central America south of Mexico between 5,000 years ago and the present. Their language was Mayan, though now most speak Spanish. The Mayan civilization had a complex social hierarchy and government led by priests and rulers. They built temples and structures from local resources like mud and wood. Daily life involved gender-specific roles where men farmed and hunted while women cooked and cared for the home.
The Maya civilization developed sophisticated architecture, including stepped pyramids, temples atop platforms, palaces, and ceremonial structures. Maya cities lacked formal urban planning but centered around sacred precincts containing monumental architecture. Structures were made from locally available materials like stone, wood, and thatch. Some major Maya cities included Uxmal, with well-preserved architecture, Tikal, the capital of a powerful kingdom, and Teotihuacan, known for its large pyramids.
The Inca Empire flourished from 1200-1532 AD in the Andes Mountains of western South America. It was founded by Pacachuti and had its capital in Cuzco. The Inca were ruled by an emperor called the Sapa Inca, who had absolute control. They developed an extensive road network and practiced organized agriculture, growing crops like corn and potatoes. The Inca also had a complex religion with Inti as the sun god and engaged in child sacrifice during important events. The Spanish led by Francisco Pizarro conquered the weakened Inca Empire after a civil war in 1531 AD.
The document summarizes four ancient American civilizations - the Olmecs, Mayans, Aztecs, and Incas.

Removing Uninteresting Bytes in Software FuzzingAftab Hussain
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.

Observability Concepts EVERY Developer Should Know -- DeveloperWeek Europe.pdfPaige Cruz
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.
I, a former op, would like to extend an invitation to all application developers to join the observability party will share these foundational concepts to build on:
Threats to mobile devices are more prevalent and increasing in scope and complexity. Users of mobile devices desire to take full advantage of the features
available on those devices, but many of the features provide convenience and capability but sacrifice security. This best practices guide outlines steps the users can take to better protect personal devices and information.

2. Aztecan Religion
The Aztecs were a polytheistic people,
worshipping several dozen gods; chief among
these was Quezalquohuatl, the Feathered
Serpent God who ruled the sky, the winds, and
all other gods. The priesthood of the Aztecs
was extremely zealous in their practice,
sacrificing prisoners and committing
cannibalism on the corpses.
To the Aztecs, everything in nature had at least
one god; to not sacrifice something , be it food,
art, or other people, was a crime against them.
3. Aztecan Politics
The Aztec empire was initially ruled through three
allied city-states that made conquest central to
the Aztec identity. They were eventually united
under the rule of Montezuma II, who controlled
the vast area from the “floating” city of
Teotihuacán, also known as Tenochtitlan,
where present-day Mexico City lies... The
emperors had great power, but they would
always consult a council of merit-proven
advisors before going to war or changing
something.
4. Aztecan Economy
The Aztec empire was only as good as its food
supply... The main dish was maize, and most
families would grow their own gardens in order
to add fruits and vegetables to the diet; fish was
the main protein that the Aztecs ate, due to the
fact that hunting was difficult... The only
animals that could provide meat—panthers, for
example—could fight back.
The Aztecs had no pack animals, so merchants
would have to carry their wares by their own
power. This was risky, though, due to the Aztec
nature of human sacrifice...
5. Aztecan Society
The Aztec social structure was divided into five
different parts: the Emperor, nobles,
commoners, peasants, and slaves. Slaves
were considered property, but their children
were not born into the same social class; of
these classes, slaves were the ones most
often given to the sacrificial altar... Their
military used weapons of wood, stone, and
obsidian to conquer neighboring tribes of
Mesoamericans.
6. Aztec Artistic Sides
The Aztecs, and many other pre-conquest
Mesoamerican cultures, did not have a specific
word for art; the closest that they came was
Toltecan, meaning “of the Toltecs,” an earlier
civilization that had been decimated by war.
Much of Aztec art, no matter the medium,
reflected a deep appreciation for the natural
world. The Aztecs worked in wood, stone,
precious metals, gems, and animal pelts, to
create great pieces of art... Sadly, the Spanish
Conquistador Hernando Cortez melted many of
these treasures down.
7. Aztecan Intellect
The Aztecs had well-developed schools for the
military, astronomy, mathematics, theology,
and trades. They had a written language, called
Nahuatl, that was essential to their empirical
success. They had a counting system for use in
trades and military, and even grasped the
difficult concept of the number zero. They were
essentially a civilization emerging from the
Stone Age, due to the beginnings of smelting
and smithing in their society at the time of their
destruction...

11. Maya Mythos
The Maya people had a view of deific ideals that
was similar to their northern neighbors; they
saw a god in every aspect of the natural world,
and respected it greatly; they saw the sun god,
Kinich Ahau, as their paternal figure... Their
pantheon consisted of very few female figures,
and was dominated by overly-masculine gods
of everything from war to solar eclipses. Human
sacrifice was a central ideal to them, and they
later identified with the Christian idea that a god
would shed his blood for his people.
12. Mayan Politics
The Maya were less a kingdom, and more an
amalgam of allied city-states that shared a
language and a religion; despite this, though,
they were a society built on the blood of
thousands of sacrificial victims from dozens of
brutal wars... Their kings passed rulership
down to sons, and no settlement was truly
permanent—they lived as much in the jungle as
in their small temple-centered towns.
13. Mayan Arts
The Mayans didn’t have much metalsmithing, so
most of their work was done in stone; their
murals and ceramics were dyed in a color
known only as “blue Maya” and the technique
to produce the beautiful shade has been lost to
time... Perhaps the best-known show of Mayan
artistry are their multiple famous step-pyramids
that dot the jungles of southern Mexico—the
greatest of these, the Pyramids of the Sun and
the Moon at Chichenitza, correspond to the
solar and lunar years so well that, five centuries
later, they are only off by a few seconds...
14. Mayan Advancements
The Maya had extremely advanced masonry
skills and a heavy emphasis on astronomy.
Their mathematics system was a series of lines
and dots, and could go into the millions... They
raised terraces and created irrigation channels
for easier farming, and their calendars were
only slightly off. Most impressive, though, was
their pictographic and logosyllabic system of
written communication that allowed for swift
messages to be carries from city to city, and
took approximately four centuries to convert
into modern English.
15. Mayan Social Structure
The Mayan society was exceedingly religious,
regularly making sacrifices to their gods; slaves
were often the offerings of these sacrifices. The
small settlements, and the empire formed of
them, created a delicate paradox that survived
until the Spanish came... The most important
non-noble and non-military personages were
the Maya scribes, who wrote the multiple sets
of codex that carried the Mayan history and
allowed anthropologists to decode their
language.
16. Mayan Economic State
The Mayan people were very simple in their
economic outlook; they farmed what they
couldn’t hunt, traded when they couldn’t hunt,
and fought when they couldn’t trade... Their
irrigation and terracing techniques are probably
what allowed them to be so successful as a
civilization—compared to relative cultures, they
were years ahead of their time. Their weaponry
was Stone Age in material, with the beginnings
of metalwork appearing by the time of their
downfall...

20. Incan Pantheon
The Inca believed not in the sun as their ultimate
god, as most other Mesoamerican civilizations
did, but instead turned to Viracocha Raska,
the Condor God who controlled everything.
They had gods for all of nature’s creations, a
common theme in the Americas, but the
condor was the greatest—its coming foretold
the life-giving rains that allowed the Inca to
survive. The two other gods that the Inca saw
as most important were Inti and Qilla, the sun
god and moon goddess. They also believed in
Chakana, a planar “Tree of Life” with three
levels: Snake, Puma, and Condor.
21. Incan Advancements
The Inca were probably the most technologically
advanced American civilization until their destruction;
they ground stones to create exact fits, they created a
road system the size of the Roman empire’s own, they
built ships from reeds and wood, they could
successfully perform brain surgery, they had
advanced metalsmithing, their astronomy was
exceedingly accurate, and they were able to create
several different dyes by natural processes. They
valued their weaving—called quipus—more than their
gold, as quipus was their system of accounting and
mathematics... Their language was called Quechua,
and it remains spoken—even in this day and age— by
the descendants of the Inca people.
22. Inca Social Lives
The Inca were almost like early an early
Mediterranean civilization; their women
were no more than housewives, and they
were empirical conquerors in the most
extreme sense of the phrase... What sets
them apart is the fact that jewelry meant
exceedingly little to them.
23. Incan Economics
The Inca were a very agricultural people, farming
for almost all of their food; they grew over two
hundred different kinds of potatoes and sweet
potatoes, maize, chili peppers, tomatoes, and
nuts... In addition, they hunted and fished for
meat. They grew cotton for their clothing, and
also created vast storage warehouses that
prevented a city’s death from prolonged
starvation.
24. Politics of the Inca
The Inca were a class-based society, nearly
feudal in structure, which lasted from their rise
until their demise. The Incan empire, called
Tawantinsuyu and ruled by Sapa Inti, “the Child
of the Sun,” was formed of four federalistic
provinces: Chinchay to the northwest, Antichay
to the northeast, Kuntichay to the southwest,
and Qullachay to the southeast. The kings were
inheritors of their title, believing that the sun
truly was their ancestor...
25. Incan Artistry
The Inca were not as artistic as many of their
Mesoamerican counterparts, like the Aztec, Maya,
Toltec, Olmec, or even the Mexica, their architecture
was centuries ahead of anything those other
civilizations could produce; using no more than the
raw physical power provided by man and beast, they
built massive stone cities that had no space
whatsoever between their bricks... Their textiles had
the highest thread count in the world, often higher than
six thousand, until the industrial revolution in the
1800s, and their metalwork was much more
professional than any other American civilization until
their annihilation.
