Question

What do you feel were some of the great achievements of the Meso-American civilizations? How do you think the Aztecs and the Incas would have continued to develop had the Spanish never arrived in the new world?

Answer 1

The Aztec and Mayan civilizations were able to accomplish several feats including the establishment of city-states with great pyramid temples and public plazas with huge stone columns; they also created complex writing and mathematical systems, developed astrological advances, built tools and were able to measure time effectively. They also created many statues, artifacts, ball-playing courts and pottery pieces.
