Maya Aztec and Inca Word Search
This Maya, Aztec and Inca word search holds forty words from the three great civilizations of the Americas: the Maya city of Tikal, the Aztec capital of Tenochtitlan, the Inca road to Machu Picchu, and the cacao, maize and llama they lived by.
The Maya were the oldest of the three. Their cities in the Yucatan and the rainforest of Guatemala were at their height between about AD 250 and 900, and they had a full writing system of glyph signs, a careful calendar and a sign for zero. The Aztecs founded Tenochtitlan around 1325 on an island in Lake Texcoco, fed it from chinampa gardens built up from the lake bed, and joined it to the shore with long causeways. Hernan Cortes, with Spanish troops and thousands of Native allies, took the city in 1521.
The Inca empire, ruled from Cuzco in the Andes, ran about 2,500 miles along western South America by 1530, held together by some 25,000 miles of road. Relay runners called chasqui carried messages along it, and officials kept records on the quipu, bundles of knotted cords, in place of writing. Francisco Pizarro captured the emperor Atahualpa in 1532.
