Aztecs!Mayans! cool








In class we have been working on ancient Mexico and we were assigned a project to make a video or a slide show or really what ever you wanted and I choose to do a video. And if you have already seen the video you will probably notice it is indeed made out of Lego and also made from a stop motion camera curticy of my friend Nickolas.First I will be talking to you about Aztec warfare.The Aztecs were a tough nation because if the Aztecs asked another nation to join forces (Team up)and they said no war would begin.The Aztecs were a very strong nation because the had thousands and thousands of people that were in the army well I guess you could say most of the people in the nation was in the army.The Aztecs sent messengers from nation to nation telling one anther about the battle and or telling one anther when to attack the next nation.Unlike today an Aztec priest would choose the best day to start the war a lot of the time the best day was when the army was strong by strong I mean ready to attack and also depending on the weather if it was a rainy day the Aztec army was mad and just wanted to stay inside If it was a sunny day the Aztecs were happy strong and ready to attack.A day the Aztecs picked for spying was a very special day because one of the men in the army were picked to spy on nations they were planning to attack.If this was not done the Aztecs could be attacked by surprise.The sort of things the spy's were looking for was plans for attacking days and also blue prints to steal back then If you stool for your country you weren't thrown behind bars you were congratulated and the great thing about that was the Aztecs would throw a small party.The Aztecs leader Montezuma man that guy had more power than Barack Obama has over the U.S.A Montezuma took risks because not only did he lead the Aztecs he fought in the war as the Sgt.After the Aztec won a war it were to be celebrated with a party, a feast,and a religious ceremony after the party they looked at the next nation to attack.There you have it I don't mean to brag but a great description of Aztec warfare but don't run away mad coming up next we have cool description of the Mayans And how their warfare was!!!Welcome back!!we will be starting the description shortly after this important question which nation do you like better the Mayans,the Incas,or last but not least the Aztecs? pleas leave a comment on my blog with your answer.And now we will get started.Like the Aztecs the Mayans had spears and Shields ,sorry I didn't add that to the description of the Aztecs.Unlike the Aztecs the Mayans Had four colours on their shields and those colour are yellow,red, green,and blue those colours meant different thingsand ifI am correct blue meant faith yellow meant hope red meant strength and green meant defence.Most of the people that are in my class know I'm Italian if you have seen the Italian flag it has three different colours green,red,and white they all mean something I'm sorry but I don't know what they mean.Mayan wars were about there gods which means they fought with there gods.Also I bet you didn't know but the Mayan's had help in war from their gods warriors who needed help would ask the gods to help them and soon the were back up and running around battleing the enamy.Sorry this description isn't as long as the other one but thats all there is to know about mayan warfare and thank-you for reading this project about the Aztecs and the Mayans.
