Templo Mayor

Templo Mayor was an Aztec pyramid.

image

There aren’t many Aztec pyramids around.

image

The Aztecs weren’t around that long and they did a lot more conquering than building.

image

And then they were conquered

image

So most of the stones from the pyramid are currently in that church in the background.

image

They had really good drainage because they built the city on a lake

image

They sacrificed people with really cute knives

image

Which were kept in funky cases

image

The dead people got cute eyes too

image

The archeologists say these held fire during ceremonies, but they’re obviously for umbrella drinks

image

They had colourful murals

image

And curly haired gods.
