Describe and Compare


THE MAYA AND AZTEC CULTRURA


The Mayans and Aztecs had different cultural beliefs, and scientific advances. The Aztecs were very heavy on human sacrifice; they did all to please their gods through these rituals. The Maya, not very heavy on this event, made sacrifices of blood, and only a human sacrifice of a captain of a losing ball team. The Mayas are also a very scientific group, they studied the stars, and have an advanced calendar than our own today. The Mayas were obsessed with time, and studied it through astronomy and their current events. The Aztecs though, were very warlike, they were expansionists, they conquered neighboring tribes and forced them to pay tribute. The Aztecs also placed much attention to the prestige of their warrior males, rather than the Maya, where the city ruler had glory; besides, the Maya was mainly city-states where city rulers had their own sovereignty, while the Aztecs were ruled by one sovereign leader.

During the campaigns, Roberts was supported by her parents and by Denis Thatcher, whom she married in December 1951. Denis funded his wife's studies for the Bar Association, was received in the category of barrister in 1953 and specialized in tax law. That same year her twins were born, Carol and Mark.
