Although the Aztecs had a ton of great topics, their religion is the most intriguing. The Aztecs believed the world started over they called it the "New Earth."The Aztecs believed that the earth goddess Tlaltecuhtli desended to earth and turned into a giant serpent. As a result of turning into the serpent she hurt herself very bad and then dyed. When she dyed the Aztecs believed she became the plants and animals and that her plants and animals had made the New Earth. Sacrifice was a ginourmous part of religion for the Aztecs. They believed that the earth goddess's son the sun god made them pay sacrifice for her sacrifice to the human race. The Aztecs unlike the Maya sacrificed by death instead of blood. When the Aztecs captured prisoners from war and they sacrificed them instead of the sacrifice going to the sun god it went to the god of war. Their settlements were also big parts of the Aztec culture. They had built temples for their sacrifice and prayers. On their tetmple walls they drew glyphs to tell their belief. They had preparations for war at their settlements so when the warriors returned they could either join the Aztecs or be sacrificed.The Aztec's New Earth,sacrifice,and their settlment are why their religion is the most interesting.
