Aztec Indians are similar to the
Egyptian people because they both
have pictures for words. They also
have different numbers. Dots are
numbers from 1 to 19. So what is
this number? (:::::) If you don't want
to count I will tell you. It is 10!
There are still some Aztec Indians
that live in Mexico. They still speak
there own language. But their great
temple of sun was buried under
modern Mexico Chjsity. The great
Lake Texcóco has dried up!
The Aztec Indians had about one
thousand different Gods!
This is a Aztec Indian calendar .

AZTEC INDIANS
BY NATALIA B
How we lived
The Aztec Indians lived in Mexico,
Tenochtitlán. Homes of the peasant Aztecs
were made out of reeds and mud.Inside, one
room divided in half, kitchen and sleeping
room. These houses were window less.
Homes of the wealthy Aztecs were large
and made out of dried brick called adobe.
Aztec Indians had clans that had their own
leaders,judges,local priests and schools.The
king of the Aztecs ruled about eleven
million people. The Aztec Indians were
around from 1215 to 1521. The Spanish
soldiers defeated them on August 13, 1521.
