The correct answer is D) all three followed polytheistic religious beliefs.

Maya, Aztec, and Inca civilizations were similar in that all three followed polytheistic religious beliefs.

The Mayans, Aztecs, and Incas were similar in that they believe in many gods. That is what polytheistic means. The honoring of many gods. They believe in many deities and build buildings and temples, as well as stone or rocks with graphics depicting God. The Aztecs had Huitzilopochtli God of War or Tlaloc, God of the Rain. The Mayan had the supreme god Quetzalcoatl, and the Incas had their main God in Viracocha. The three cultures had many gods that represented nature, water, the wind, life, death, and many other representations.
