Have you ever heard about the three civiliaztions that were in Cental America? These three civilizations accomplished many things. They built beautiful bulidings and pyramids. Each civilization was unique. These three civilizations were advanced because of their achtecture, way of writing, and agriculture. The three civiliazations are the Maya, Aztec, and Inca civilizations.
The Maya civilization was located in Central America. The Maya people settled in the reigion in 1500 BC ( Hopkins, Step 3, Source 1). The Aztec civiliazation was located in Central Mexico. The Incan people settle in the region in AD 1345 ( Maldonado, Step 3, Source 2). The Inca civilization first arose in the Andes region ("Inca- Facts and Summary"). Around the twelth

The Inca civiliazation had well constructed-roads ( Patel, Step 3, Source 3). The Aztec civilization some how made a road system which is amazing and ashtonishing as well.
The Mayan and Azteec both have some things in common with each other. First, is they both have temples which they used for themselves to do religious things. Secondly, they both had palaces. It's weird that these two civilizations share two things in common. The Myan and Aztec civilzation both knew how to buld temples for religious purposes and palaces for royalty.
Each civiliaztion shared one thing in common. That is they knew how to build. I t is ashtonishing how each civilization knew how to build. Each civiliaztion was advanced because they knew achiecture and ow to bulid.
Each civiliazation had some sort of writing system. The Maya civilzation had a writing system. The Aztecs had a writing system. The Inca had a special way of recording things. Each civliization had ther own way of writing.
The Maya civilization had devolped a very complex of writing ( Hopkins, Step 3, Source 1). The name of the very complex writing was hieroglyphics writing ( Hopkins, Step 3, Source 1). Hieroglyphics writing is consistences of writing with hieroglyphics. The Maya used hieroglyphics to record historical and relgious events ( Hopkins, Step 3, Source 1). It is amazing how the Maya civlization had devoloped there own way of

The Aztec used picture writing (Maldonad, Step 3, Source 2). Picture writing is recording events by using pictures. The Aztecs used picture writing to record historical and religious events. It is amazing how the Aztec civilization use picture writing to record important things.
The Inca civilization technically did not have a way of writing ( Patel, Step 3, Source 3). The Inca did have a way to record important things. The way they recorded important thins was by using knotted strings called quipu ( Patel, Step 3, Source 3). Quipu is a system of colored strings. The Inca did not have a system of writing, but they did find away to keep track of their goods which is ashtonishing.
Each civilization had a unique way of writing. Each civilization was different when they wrote. They all wrot for the same reasons as each other. The reason was so that they could record relgious and historical reasons. By these civilization being able to write they are
The Aztec’s and the Inca’s have many similarities such as religious beliefs, and views about gods. Inca’s views about training for war are different, and the Aztec’s artifacts are somewhat different to. The farm land compared to the Inca’s is differs also, because where the Aztec’s lived the land was elevated about ten thousand feet.
Cuneiform was the first ever form of writing. The Sumerians were the main inventors of this writing. The symbol as we know them now consist of lines and wedges. One of the
Three tribes ruled modern day Mexico and South America, both at different times. These three tribes were called the Incas, the Aztecs,and the Mayans. And while they do have some similarities. They also have some differences that are actually matter quite a bit. As all three tribes lived in different
The Inca civilization started around 1200A.D. and was found in the Andes mountains in what is now Ecuador, Peru, Bolivia, and Chile.
To summarize, the Aztecs and Incas have economic similarities and differences in trade, agriculture, and tribute techniques. The Aztecs economy was more mixed and had a prevalent merchant class whereas the Incans had more government control. Intellectually, both civilizations recorded data somehow, had amazing architecture, and improved their agriculture. Women in both civilizations were treated harshly but those under Incan rule was slightly better.
The Aztecs and Incas were the two dominant new world societies which greeted and eventually succumbed to the Spanish conquistadors in the early 16th century. Since then, they have occupied some of the most curious comers of the western imagination. Purveyors of scholarly and popular culture render them in various disparate ways: as victims of European colonialism, incompetent militarists, heroic forbears, barbarians, or authentic practitioners of native utopias and cults. The Aztecs and Incas were two Pre-Columbian Mesoamerican civilizations that roamed the land of Latin America throughout 14th and 15th century. Aztec empire ruled much of what is now Mexico from 1428 till 1521, when the empire was conquered by Spaniards. Aztecs controlled a region stretching from the Valley of Mexico in central Mexico east to the Gulf of Mexico and south to Guatemala. Aztecs were great engineers and developed a multifarious social political and religious system with Tenochtitlan as their capital city. Inca Empire stretched it boundaries from Colombia to Chile and reached west to east from the Atacama to Amazonian rain forest. Incas lack the concepts of written language however they had an incredible system of roads. Casco as their capital Inca Empire only lasted a century before it was conquered by Spaniards in early 16th century. The two Mesoamerican civilizations burgeoned independently of each other with no cultural or religious swap. Aztecs and Incan societies were predominantly agricultural. Religions of both societies were shamanistic which were heavily influenced by preceding cultures. These complex polytheistic religions regardless of their chronological exclusivity have significant features in common.
The Maya and Aztec civilizations were both indigenous people that flourished in Mesoamerica during different periods of time. Maya 's classic period is dated from 250 to 900 AD, which was considered to be the peak of their civilization. They covered much of the Yucatan Peninsula and were centered in what is now known as Guatemala. The Aztecs dominated from 1325 AD to 1521 AD, in what is now modern day Mexico. Although they shared cultural similarities such as their social structure, they also had their differences in military and religious rituals.
The Incas are much more advanced. Labor specialization was common, especially in the large densely populated areas like Cuzco. The Incas made roads, irrigation channels, fortresses, and mines. They used crop rotation, terracing and other advanced agricultural methods. These civilizations had retainers and all had slaves, usually slaves from other villages that they had fought in wars.
Writing is perhaps the most important building block of communication - after verbal speech, of course. Writing, like most of human civilization, has its roots in ancient Mesopotamia. The first writing systems began in a style known as cuneiform (Cuneiform, 2013). These wedge-shaped markings have their roots in Sumerian culture and were used predominantly for record keeping and accounting. At the archaeological site of Uruk in what is modern day Iraq, a great wealth of knowledge has been gained from the artifacts located there. Uruk was a ceremonial site and is home to the world’s oldest known documented written documents (Price and Feinman, 2013). The documents discovered list quantities of goods that may have been stored at Uruk, leading archaeologists to believe that writing in this part of the world was developed primarily to keep lists of transactions and stockpiled quantities of goods located at the site.
Egyptian hieroglyphs were carved in stone, and later hieratic script was written on papyrus. However, Olmec glyphs was discovered on cylinders. Hence, Egyptians and Olmec had different types of writing, and different places to write.
Many civilizations have similar qualities as other civilizations, but they also have their differences. Some of these differences include: Religion, Geography, and Government. These three things were a big part of any civilization. Two civilizations had many different things and many similar things. These civilizations are The Maya and The Romans. The Romans had a very unique and interesting culture, The Maya were also very interesting and different. Even though they were unique in their own way, they also had many similar qualities.
In the fertile valleys or high plateaus the Mayas, Incas, and Aztecs built communities and villages practicing sedentary lifestyles. They had for the most part “permanent, intensive agriculture.” (Lane and Restall 2012) This allowed them to produce complex foods that benefitted the villages because it made them possible but it also resulted in social stratification. “Agricultural activities of the majority allowed a minority to live and work as artisans, merchants, warriors, nobles and royalty – permitting the development of writing, metallurgy, bureaucracy, and other features of high civilization.” More specifically, the Mayans were able to create the most complete of the three Mesoamerican writing systems, “one that was still used in the early sixteenth century.” (Lane and Restall 2012) They were also able to expand, but their expansion would also be their demise. Because they were so large -- filled with regional kingdoms and empires -- the Spanish were easily able to conquer
“Any sufficiently advanced technology is indistinguishable from magic.” This quote from Arthur C. Clarke nicely represents the admiration that studying the Mayan, Aztec and Incan civilizations can inspire. In the current age of technology it is very hard to imagine these ancient civilizations accomplishing their many deeds without any modern tools or computers. The Mayan, Aztec and Incan civilizations of Central and South America made major advancements in engineering, math, astronomy, writing agriculture, and trading.
The mayans, incas, and aztecs were some of the most known civilizations in history. While these civilizations achieved great deals of things, one empire flourished more than the others. The people of this civilization were called The Incas. The Incas were better than the other civilizations, because they had an advanced farming system, had unique buildings that are still standing today, and settled across 2,500 miles of mountainous South America.
... helped the architecture to have accurate measurements . Another civilization that also developed a system of writing was China. The written language could be easily to read and understand, but when they spoke it it was difficult to understand. This civilization had a big advantage with the system of writing because all parts of china everyone could learn the language even if they already spoke a different language. This helped make a great civilization because it unifies a large and diverse land and this helped to control it easier. One disadvantage it has is that the writing system has a lot of things to memorize. So if you were a wealthy kid and went to a good school you could memorize the major part of the language, but if you were in the lower class and went to a cheap school then you had trouble learning the language because they didn’t teach the whole language
