The Aztecs lived in Mexico about five hundred years ago. They came there from different parts of South America. In Mexico, they built beautiful cities with big buildings, squares and wide streets. Most of them were on islands so they went everywhere by boat. They didn’t use horses! They built their biggest city on Lake Texcoco, near today’s Mexico City. They had their Aztec language and they knew a lot about the world. They had schools for children. Most Aztecs were farmers and fishmen. They ate a lot of fish and hunted wild animals. They made pots to cook food. They ate meat, fish and vegetables. Also the Aztecs had two calendars - one for their religion and the other one helped them to get a lot of fruit and vegetables.
