=How did Aztec architecture influence our lives today? =

I think the Aztecs influence us by building the temples for there gods. We built churches for our Lord Jesus, and our one and only God. They may have many gods, but we have only one.

The Aztecs built amazing architecture. They would build things like pyramids, temples, homes, palaces, ballcourts, and shrines. The temples would have had stairs going up to a platform where theyt would sacrifice animals and humans. The Aztecs would throw the body down the steps of the temples. The temple would have statues on either side of it. The statues would be what they think there gods look like. The temple is made out of a concrete-like mixture, gravel, and sand. The Aztecs would sometimes hold sacrificial ceremonies at a pyramid. There pyramid is made of limestone.

"The ancient Aztec people greatly valued superior work and craftsmanship. This is reflected in their architecture and is most noticeable in their religious buildings. The Aztecs' main purpose for creating their products was to honor their gods."
