Achievements!!!!
Mayans!
The Mayans have created and carved sculptures from stone that are varied in sizes. Small sculptures were usually figures of men and women. The big sculptures, most of the time, were their rulers.
Incas!
The Incas built sturdy temples and made palaces out of stone. While in the building process, they had to cut large rocks and when they did, they cut them so neatly that the didn't even need cement.
Aztecs!
The Aztecs are actually the first culture to establish a mandatory education for everyone to attend to. As years passed, education was thrown around to other cultures all around the world. In other civilizations, people were ranked, but in the Aztecs, any gender, age, and rank could attend.
Compare and Contrast!!!
The Aztecs and Mayans are very similar in a lot of ways, but the Incas are very different in some ways. The Mayans & Aztecs are both from Central America and have the same kind of economy with farming. The Social System for the Aztecs is different from the Mayans and Incas because they had different classes of people, but for the Aztecs, the Warriors had a high social status. Their governments had kings but they were different in some ways because the Mayans didn't want or war, but the Aztecs and Incas fought in dangerous battles.
