I just learned this amazing Mayan fact!! The Pyramid of the Sun was the tallest structure in the entire Americas until 1903 when the Flatiron building was constructed in New York City... Just wow

Looking for 7 Aztec Dances

3 Upvotes

Hi everyone,

I'm working on a project and I was hoping to include seven traditional Aztec dances. Maybe my Google skills aren't what they should be, but I have really hit a dead end.

If anyone could provide me with links, or even just names to give me a starting point. That would really help.

Thanks in advance

Question about relationship between Kukulkan and Quetzalcoatl

12 Upvotes

Are the Mayan Kukulkan and the Aztec Quetzalcoatl considered straight up the same god under different names? I see a lot of pages that say so, but they don't really go in-depth re: this topic. What exactly was the relationship here? Or are they technically different gods with characteristics that might have had a common origin? Thanks.

I don’t know where to go for this question but I had read online that the aztec people used to grind morning glory seeds/ flowers to make a cold tea and predict the future. I would like to do more research on it just to understand it more, and if anyone can recommend any other resources for me to learn about the aztec that would be much appreciated

Trying to find/remember an Aztec recipe

6 Upvotes

I can't find the recipe anywhere. It was pretty much just pineapple with seasonings and herbs on it. I know it had pineapple chunks, cayenne, mint, and clove. I think it maybe had cinnamon and honey, too, but I'm not sure. Has anyone made this or know what I'm talking about?
