It was a tough job trying to decide which artifacts would make the cut of this list and which would not. These artifacts have been found in Mexico and South America. The Aztec civilization was one of the most impressive civilizations in the Americas. They were a large civilization that at its peak 1519-1521 had a population of 25 million people! The Aztec empire is noted for the many great buildings they built, their unique calendar system and their use of paper (which was rare at this time in history).
Although the Aztec civilization was not one of the most prominent civilizations in Mexico, it was very important. The Aztec civilization had a lot of art work, architecture and many other great things. The following are images of some of the artifacts that were found in this civilization. What kind of art did they have? How did their architecture change over time? What kind of food did they eat?
The Aztec people were one of the largest groups of Native American Indians. The Aztec was a Mesoamerican civilization and it was the last stage of the period in which ancient civilizations rose in Mexico. The Aztec culture is known as a very advanced culture with a lot of art and they were superior to other cultures in many ways. They were able to build large cities, temples and pyramids, and also had a complex social structure. There was a lot of arts among the Aztecs, but sadly most of their art has been destroyed by Spanish conquerors.
The Aztecs had several types of art: there was stone carving, gold work, pottery and painting, feather work and weaving (to make clothes), sculpture, stone architecture, woodwork and metalwork. **
There were three main stages during which the Aztec culture developed:
1) The Pre-Classic period which lasted until about 300 A.D.;
2) The Classic period from 300 to 900 A.D.;
3) The Post-Classic period from 900 to 1521 A.D., when the Spanish arrived in Mexico after having conquered the Aztecs.**
In 1519 the Spanish conquistadors led by Hernando Cortez arrived in the Aztec Empire. They were very surprised to find a civilization in Mexico that was rich and powerful. Not only did they have advanced agriculture, but they also had gold, jewels and fine pottery. Cortez ordered his men to gather as much of it as possible before the Aztec’s could destroy it all.
The Spaniards took this treasure back to Europe and the items from the Aztec’s became very popular. The Europeans were fascinated by these beautiful things from another world. The Aztec art became European art and influenced many artists for generations to come. Artists like Diego Rivera and Picasso used Aztec designs in their works.
The Aztec artifacts are on display at museums around the world, including at The British Museum in London and The Metropolitan Museum of New York City.
The Aztec civilization was one of the largest and most powerful in Pre-Columbian Mesoamerica. The Aztec culture was centered on religion, specifically the dualistic nature of their gods, who represented opposite aspects such as life and death. The culture declined after the Spanish conquest in 1521, but significant influences remain in the culture and art of today’s Mexico.
Jade was used for breast ornaments, pendants for quipus (knotted string records) and masks. Obsidian was cut into knives and scrapers, as well as mirrors. Turquoise, malachite and copper were used to make fine jewelry, as well as decoration in temples. Feathers were used to create a mosaic work. Cloth was made from animal hides and cotton produced by the Aztecs themselves. Cotton seeds were also pressed to create oil which was used for cooking or lighting.”
