identifying the Aztec temples can be very tricky. You could tell the pyramids were either palaces or temples. But we still have an image of what the Aztec religion was like. Some of the monuments were for a specific gods or specific celebrations.
it was due to all the sacrifices they thought they had to give to the gods. killing thousands of people each year due to sacrifices is definitely not good for a society. But the Aztecs were not the first ones to give human sacrifices. It is believed that the horror of human sacrifices highly motivated the Spaniard's to conquer.
most of the preoccupation with the religion was fear of nature and fear of the end of the world. According to the Aztecs religion in took the gods five tries to create the world. They had lots of war and they had all these wars because they believed if they did not sacrifice someone for the gods the sun would not rise again.
Aztec food was a rich combination of many different foods that we take for granted today. One of the food they ate was maize also known as corn. Aztec foods had a wide variety and they also ate a lot of beans squash and lots of meat.
some of the local languages actually had a word for art... but the Aztecs called it Toltecat. Just like the Aztecs religion and culture it went way way back in history. The common people weren't even allowed to own a piece of art work. If you were painting or selling it, it was possibly an exception, but most of it would have to go to upper classes.
