The board game appAztec Ancients were a remarkable civilization that flourished in central Mexico from the 14th to the 16th century. Known for their advanced knowledge in architecture, astronomy, and mathematics, the Aztecs built the great city of Tenochtitlán, located on an island in Lake Texcoco. Their society was highly structured, with a ruling class of emperors, priests, and warriors, while commoners worked in agriculture, trade, and crafts.

The Aztecs are perhaps best known for their religious practices, which included elaborate ceremonies and rituals to honor their gods, often involving human sacrifices. Their polytheistic belief system was centered around deities like Huitzilopochtli, the god of the sun and war, and Quetzalcoatl, the feathered serpent god.

In terms of achievements, the Aztecs had a sophisticated calendar system and an impressive agricultural technique, including chinampas (floating gardens) to increase food production. Despite their remarkable advancements, the arrival of Spanish conquistadors in the early 1500s led to the fall of the Aztec Empire, marking the end of an era. Today, their legacy lives on in the art, culture, and history of Mexico.
