Aztec

 The Aztec Empire was not really a united land with common rules, laws, and leaders.  Instead it was more of an alliance that had  the same language.  This alliance was called the Aztec Triple Alliance and the language was the Nahutal Language.  Together with a common alliance these city states had a center city called Technochtilan in the Lake Texacoco.  This city had many large temples that were part of one of two major aspects of the Aztec Empire.  The first aspect was their religion.  Their religion was very strong with priests being just as powerful as government advisors.  they decided on the calendar and most of the science and weather aspects are dictated by religion and whenever there is a flood or drought it is blamed on the gods and human sacrifices were made to turn things around.  the second aspect was their military and how they ruled over their neighbors with threats and ultimatums.  They went into combat with axes and clubs and fought hard hand to hand combat.  This combat was not practical though because they warriors tried not to kill the victims.  This led to the empire's downfall by Cortez and the Spanish.
