Curse Reflection SBS 325
In the class of SBS 325 I learned a lot about the Aztecs. We learned about the social structure. We saw the importance of art in ceramics and in archaeological zones. One of the most interesting activities they practiced was how their agriculture grew. They used Chinampas, these were crops that gave you four plants instead of one. The chinampas was an agricultural method that was adapted in the lagoons. The religious beliefs of the Aztecs were a bit exotic for our times. They sacrificed their slaves in order for the sun to come out again. We had the opportunity to present a topic that interested us and demonstrate what we learned in class.
