Mayan Social class Merchant

Dear Journal

I had a great day trading. This is the life meeting new people and getting paid. I knew this was going to be the life for me. I just got done traveling by a river. I even get to take my goods to the high lands. I am in the middle of the social class. Compared to peasants and slaves i had an easy life. They had to work really hard and slaves could not leave where their master was until they were free.

I trade things like jade, copal , and tree sap. Trade is influence in the Mayan empire and i am not the only one out there. People need my good to live and i need theirs just as much. I would be strange if trade was not in the Mayan empire.

The end of the Aztecs

The main reason for the end of the Aztects was the city design. Water flowed into the city by one main aqueduct. When the Spaniards invaded they cut off the main water design causing everyone to die from dehydration. The Spaniards also brought along sickness and germs the Aztecs were not use to causing everyone to get sick.

If Los Angeles were to be invaded they would attack the main places where water is passed to all the homes in the city.

The Aztecs in human sacrifice

I think that human sacrifice is wrong and is inhumane. The Aztecs sacrificed 10,000 people a year and most of those people were slaves. In the Aztec empire they cut open the person to be sacrificed. They reach in a pull out their heart and spill out the blood. They sacrificed so many people the the stairway to the temple was always stained with blood.

Today in the United States only criminals the do the worst crimes a sentenced to death. If you are in deb you won't be sacrificed.
