History Simplified: Ancient South America

Ancient South America was made up of three main civilizations, the Maya, the Inca, and the Aztecs.  All of these empires were basically the same with a few small differences.  They all lived in the tropical areas except for the Incas who lived in the Andes Mountains and had to deal with a harsher climate.  Another difference was that the Maya who was a very loose society that just had common believes and ideas.  These were the only large differences with everything else about the society being basically the same.  They all had very similar religion that was based on many gods that reacted to different sacrifices.  These sacrifices were a main part of the Aztec Civilization with any droughts or floods being cause of the gods and the solution to the problem was more sacrifices.  There was also many other similarities such as the calendar, warriors, and lifestyles all of the cultures were advanced and great in the South American Lands.
