16.3 the aztecs control central mexico

HERNANDO CORTÉS,

Letters of Information

When we saw all those cities and villages built in the

water, and other great towns on dry land, and that

straight and level causeway leading to Mexico, we were

astounded. These great towns and cues [pyramids] and

buildings rising from the water, all made of stone,

seemed like an enchanted vision. . . . Indeed, some of

our soldiers asked whether it was not all a dream.

Religion Rules Aztec Life

Religion played a major role in Aztec society. Tenochtitlán contained hundreds of

temples and religious structures dedicated to the approximately 1,000 gods that the

Aztecs worshiped. The Aztecs adopted many of these gods, and religious practices

related to them, from other Mesoamerican peoples. For example, the Aztecs wor-

shiped the Toltec god Quetzalcoatl in many forms. They saw him as the god of

learning and books, the god of the wind, and a symbol of death and rebirth. The

Aztecs pictured Quetzalcoatl not only as a feathered serpent, but also as a pale-

skinned man with a beard.
