ANCIENT CULTURE

 DID YOU KNOWN THE EXISTENCE OF THE MAYAN AND AZTECAN CULTURE?

The Aztec culture, rooted in central Mexico, was one of the most powerful and fascinating civilizations of Mesoamerica. Originating from a nomadic tribe called the Mexica, they built their grand capital, Tenochtitlán, on a lake — where Mexico City now stands. Their society was rich in mythology, warrior tradition, and elaborate ceremonies to honor gods like Huitzilopochtli. One of the most curious facts? They used cacao beans as currency and believed chocolate was a sacred gift. The Aztecs were brilliant engineers, creating floating gardens called chinampas to feed their people. Their intricate calendar and art still inspire awe today. Visiting Aztec ruins and museums in Mexico brings their world vividly to life. It’s a cultural journey that blends mystery, beauty, and deep history.

There’s also another,  the Maya culture. Is one of the most fascinating ancient civilizations of the Americas, known for its advanced knowledge in astronomy, mathematics, and architecture. Originating in Mesoamerica, it thrived in what is now Mexico, Guatemala, Belize, and parts of Honduras and El Salvador. I learned that they created complex calendars, could predict solar eclipses, and even developed a written language of glyphs. Their cities, like Chichén Itzá and Tikal, were architectural masterpieces hidden in the jungle. The Maya believed in powerful gods, sacred rituals, and the deep connection between nature and the cosmos. One curious fact? They used chocolate in ceremonies and as currency! Exploring their ruins feels like decoding an ancient mystery. It’s a culture that still lives on today through local traditions, languages, and festivals.
