World Civilization DBQ
The Aztecs were located in modern day Mexico while the Incas were located in Peru. The Aztec and Incas cultures were based on a long development of civilizations that preceded them. The Aztec and Inca had ways of establishing and spreading religion and their valued traditions. Both had expertise in making technological advances.
The Aztec and Inca had ways of establishing and spreading religion. Ritualistic activities associated with the first five months of the Aztec calendar shows the importance of God because they would sacrifice their children (Document 4). A picture drawn by a Spanish Monk of the Aztec sacrifice shows the elaborate rituals (Document 5). Froy Vicent tried to spread the Gospel of God to the Incas. The culture clashed which shows the Incas already had beliefs focused on the sun and many Gods (Document 12).
