The Aztecs were guided to settle on an island in a lake after seeing an eagle perched on a cactus, fulfilling a prophecy. They built their city of Tenochtitlan there, which now lies at the center of Mexico City. The Aztecs had several creation myths, including one where the current world survived destruction due to a god's sacrifice, and another where the earth was created by the twin gods Tezcatlipoca and Quetzalcoatl. After the Spanish conquest, Cortes initially maintained Aztec rule under Spanish leadership, but the system soon became one of oppression, with natives exploited as forced labor in mines and on large estates granted to the conquistadors.

![The Aztecs after the SpanishIt seems that Cort辿s' intention was to maintain the basic structure of the Aztec empire under his leadership, and at first it seemed the Aztec empire could survive. The upper Aztec classes, at first, were considered as noblemen. The upper classes learned Spanish, and several learned to write. Cortes banned all human sacrifice in Mesoamerica.[16]But soon all that changed. To pay off the Spanish army that captured what is now contemporary Mexico, the soldiers and officers were granted large areas of land and the natives who lived on them as a type of feudalism. Although officially they could not become slaves, the system, became one of oppression and exploitation of natives.Silver mines were worked for hundreds of years by forced native labour and contributed most of the wealth that flowed to Spain.The Aztec education system was abolished and replaced by a very limited church education. Even some foods associated with religious practice, such as amaranto, were forbidden.Eventually, the Indians were forbidden to learn of their culture. In some areas, some of the natives were declared minors, and forbidden to learn to read and write Spanish, so they would always need a Spanish man in charge of them.](https://image.slidesharecdn.com/aztec2010imagesshortversion-100516212954-phpapp01/85/Aztec-2010-images-short-version-16-320.jpg)

The Aztec EmpireKate-Kartika-Gilberto

The Aztec civilization arose in central Mexico around the 12th century. They built upon the achievements of earlier civilizations like the Olmec, Zapotec, and Maya. The Aztec empire grew to dominate Mesoamerica through alliances and military conquests under rulers like Itzcoatl and Moctezuma Ilhuicamina. The Aztecs developed a complex society with an emperor and nobility at the top, and slaves and common farmers at the bottom. They also built a strong economy based on agriculture and long-distance trade networks. While the Aztecs achieved many cultural and technological advancements, their practice of human sacrifice and growing territorial conflicts contributed to their downfall with the Spanish conquestUnit 2, Lesson 2

1) The document discusses several early Spanish explorers including Columbus, Balboa, Cortes, and Pizarro and their discoveries in the Americas.
2) It explains that Cortes, with only 500 men, was able to defeat the powerful Aztec Empire of 200,000 soldiers through alliances with other tribes, the use of horses, guns, and European diseases which devastated the native populations.
3) It also summarizes that the Spanish, under the rule of Charles I and his desire to spread Catholicism, greatly increased their power and established a vast empire in the Americas through both the wealth obtained and conversion of native populations to Catholicism.The aztec empire

The Aztec Empire rose to power in central Mexico between the 1200s and 1521. They founded their capital city of Tenochtitlan in 1315 and used conquest and alliances to build an empire covering most of Mexico by 1500, with a population of 30 million people. The Aztecs had a hierarchical social structure ruled by an emperor, with warriors and nobles above farmers and slaves. They built large pyramids and temples in cities like Tenochtitlan and had an advanced calendar, schools, and medical practices. However, their empire was destroyed when the Spanish conquistador Hernando Cortez allied with Aztec enemies and defeated them in 1521, killing an estimated 75% of the Aztec population throughComparing and contrasting civilizations

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 Hern叩n Cort辿s and his allies, bringing an end to the powerful Aztec civilization. world history Aztec

The Aztecs lived in central Mexico, building structures like dams and aqueducts to manage their environment of swamps and mountains. Their arts reflected their religious beliefs and were highly skilled. Aztec society was ruled by an emperor from the capital but local nobles had significant autonomy. Their laws were strict and punishments could include death. The Aztec religion centered on gods like Huitzilopochtli and required human sacrifice to nourish the gods. Prophecies held that Hernan Cortes might be the returning god Quetzalcoatl and the afterlife involved a journey through the underworld.Mesoamerica Presentation

The Aztec civilization was located in central Mexico around Lake Texcoco. Their education system emphasized oral communication since their Nahuatl language was not written until Spanish conquest. There were two main types of schools - the telpochcalli focused on practical skills and military training, while the calmecac provided advanced learning. Schools were separated by social class and gender, with noble children attending schools attached to temples. Commoners went to local schools. Children who disobeyed faced punishments like inhaling spicy smoke or being pinched.The Mexica or Aztecs

The Aztec, or Mexica, emerged as a dominant power in central Mexico in the 1400s through alliances and military conquest. Their society was stratified, with nobles and commoners, and social mobility was possible through military success. The Aztec state was expanding rapidly through tribute and warfare until the arrival of the Spanish, who exploited divisions and weaknesses to eventually conquer the Aztec empire.Aztec Overview

The Aztec /脱ztk/[1] people were certain ethnic groups of central Mexico, particularly those groups who spoke the Nahuatl language and who dominated large parts of Mesoamerica from the 14th to 16th centuries. The Nahuatl words aztecatl [as'tekat諭必] (singular)[2] and aztecah [as'teka] (plural)[2] mean "people from Aztlan",[3] a mythological place for the Nahuatl-speaking culture of the time, and later adopted as the word to define the Mexica people. Often the term "Aztec" refers exclusively to the Mexica people of Tenochtitlan (now the location of Mexico City), situated on an island in Lake Texcoco, who referred to themselves as Mexica Tenochca [me'ika te'not諭ka] or Clhuah Mexica [kolwa me'ika].
Sometimes the term also includes the inhabitants of Tenochtitlan's two principal allied city-states, the Acolhuas of Texcoco and the Tepanecs of Tlacopan, who together with the Mexica formed the Aztec Triple Alliance which controlled what is often known as "the Aztec Empire". In other contexts, Aztec may refer to all the various city states and their peoples, who shared large parts of their ethnic history and cultural traits with the Mexica, Acolhua and Tepanecs, and who often also used the Nahuatl language as a lingua franca. In this meaning it is possible to talk about an Aztec civilization including all the particular cultural patterns common for most of the peoples inhabiting Central Mexico in the late postclassic period.
From the 13th century, the Valley of Mexico was the heart of Aztec civilization: here the capital of the Aztec Triple Alliance, the city of Tenochtitlan, was built upon raised islets in Lake Texcoco. The Triple Alliance formed a tributary empire expanding its political hegemony far beyond the Valley of Mexico, conquering other city states throughout Mesoamerica. At its pinnacle, Aztec culture had rich and complex mythological and religious traditions, as well as reaching remarkable architectural and artistic accomplishments. In 1521 Hern叩n Cort辿s, along with a large number of Nahuatl speaking indigenous allies, conquered Tenochtitlan and defeated the Aztec Triple Alliance under the leadership of Hueyi Tlatoani Moctezuma II. Subsequently the Spanish founded the new settlement of Mexico City on the site of the ruined Aztec capital, from where they proceeded with the process of colonizing Central America.
Aztec culture and history is primarily known through archaeological evidence found in excavations such as that of the renowned Templo Mayor in Mexico City; from indigenous bark paper codices; from eyewitness accounts by Spanish conquistadors such as Hern叩n Cort辿s and Bernal D鱈az del Castillo; and especially from 16th and 17th century descriptions of Aztec culture and history written by Spanish clergymen and literate Aztecs in the Spanish or Nahuatl language, such as the famous Florentine Codex compiled by the Franciscan monk Bernardino de Sahag炭n with the help of indigenous Aztec informants.Aztec, Inca, Maya- Civilizations

The Aztecs established a system of free public schools mandatory for all children, including girls and slaves, to educate the population and train specialists in fields like engineering, medicine, and warfare.

After the Spanish conquest, Cortes initially maintained Aztec rule but replaced the nobility with Spanish landowners, establishing an oppressive system of forced native labor on silver mines that contributed greatly to Spain's wealth for hundreds of years. The Aztec education system was abolished and aspects of their culture were forbidden, contributing to the civilization's decline under Spanish rule.

VASA CONCEPT - To Expand The Boundaries of Centre of Mass [COM] Rajul Vasa
油
The VASA concept aims to expand the boundaries of the center of mass (COM) for patients who have had a stroke. For stroke patients, their good side is used for all actions while their weak side is compromised and unable to control the COM. This arrests the COM in a safe territory controlled by the good side. The VASA concept introduces control of posture using the affected limbs to expand the boundaries of the COM towards the weak side. This allows the affected limbs to begin controlling posture and restoring the COM to safety, so the COM is no longer prisoner to just the good side. Basic exercises for applying the VASA concept will be shown in a separate video link.WIU Math Conference

APM event hosted by the South Wales and West of England Network (SWWE Network)
Speaker: Aalok Sonawala
The SWWE Regional Network were very pleased to welcome Aalok Sonawala, Head of PMO, National Programmes, Rider Levett Bucknall on 26 February, to BAWA for our first face to face event of 2025. Aalok is a member of APMs Thames Valley Regional Network and also speaks to members of APMs PMO Interest Network, which aims to facilitate collaboration and learning, offer unbiased advice and guidance.
Tonight, Aalok planned to discuss the importance of a PMO within project-based organisations, the different types of PMO and their key elements, PMO governance and centres of excellence.
PMOs within an organisation can be centralised, hub and spoke with a central PMO with satellite PMOs globally, or embedded within projects. The appropriate structure will be determined by the specific business needs of the organisation. The PMO sits above PM delivery and the supply chain delivery teams.

- 15. Creation mythThe Aztec were said to be guided by their god Huitzilopochtli, meaning "Hummingbird from the South." When they arrived at an island in the lake, they saw an eagle which was perched on a cactus full of its fruits. This vision fulfilled a prophecy telling them that they should found their new home on that spot. The Aztecs built their city of Tenochtitlan on that site, building a great artificial island, which today is in the center of Mexico City. This legendary vision is pictured on the Coat of Arms of Mexico.Because the Aztec adopted and combined several traditions with their own earlier traditions, they had several creation myths; one of these, the Five Suns describes four great ages preceding the present world, each of which ended in a catastrophe. Our age Nahui-Ollin, the fifth age, or fifth creation escaped destruction due to the sacrifice of a god (Nanahuatl, "full of sores," the smallest and humblest of the gods) who was transformed into the Sun. This myth is associated with the ancient city of Teotihuacan, which was abandoned but still extant when the Aztec arrived. Another myth describes the earth as a creation of the twin gods Tezcatlipoca and Quetzalcoatl. Some sources say Tezcatlipoca lost his foot in the process of creating the world and some representations of these gods show him without a foot and with a bone exposed. Others say he had one foot which was the foot of a beast, a representation for his speed. Quetzalcoatl is also called "White Tezcatlipoca."
- 16. The Aztecs after the SpanishIt seems that Cort辿s' intention was to maintain the basic structure of the Aztec empire under his leadership, and at first it seemed the Aztec empire could survive. The upper Aztec classes, at first, were considered as noblemen. The upper classes learned Spanish, and several learned to write. Cortes banned all human sacrifice in Mesoamerica.[16]But soon all that changed. To pay off the Spanish army that captured what is now contemporary Mexico, the soldiers and officers were granted large areas of land and the natives who lived on them as a type of feudalism. Although officially they could not become slaves, the system, became one of oppression and exploitation of natives.Silver mines were worked for hundreds of years by forced native labour and contributed most of the wealth that flowed to Spain.The Aztec education system was abolished and replaced by a very limited church education. Even some foods associated with religious practice, such as amaranto, were forbidden.Eventually, the Indians were forbidden to learn of their culture. In some areas, some of the natives were declared minors, and forbidden to learn to read and write Spanish, so they would always need a Spanish man in charge of them.
