This week at school we learned about the HORRIBLE Aztecs. They lived in the 1500s. The capital city that the Aztecs created was called Tenochtitlan which was a man-made island in the middle of a lake. We were horrified to find out that the Aztecs thought it was a privilege to get your heart cut out as a sacrifice to the Gods! The Aztecs made sacrifices to the Gods because they thought it would keep the sun moving. They even played games with heads (but we shouldn't go into detail!) We think this is CRAZY!!!!! Moctezuma was the ruler of the Aztecs until he was captured by Hernan Cortez who came over from Spain. Cortez turned the Aztecs into slaves and some people believe that Moctezuma will have his revenge!
