The Mayas, Incas, and Aztecs had very different customs and had their own class structures, styles of warfare, religious beliefs, practices, different ways of handling slavery, and roles of families. Peasants made up most of the Mayan population. Men did the farming, hunting, and maintenance, while the women stayed home to raise the children and livestock. Extended families formed the basic social unit. Each Maya city had its own king. Mayans weren't really fighters. Because the Mayans often kept things peaceful, there weren't many prisoners and slaves to keep track of. They often gained extra territory through alliances. The Spheres of influence were areas that were strongly influenced or dominated by a particular ruler or government. Mayans had their own powerful religion. It consisted of blood rituals and human sacrifices. The Mayans thought that this was the way to keep things in balance and win the favor of the gods. They often sacrificed prisoners, slaves, and even children. The Inca society had a simple class structure. They were lead by nobles by birth and appointed nobles. The commoners who worked for them made up most of the population. They often lived in comunities called Ayllus. They were often farmers, builders, traders, or herders. Families had their own communal property that they paid for through mita, an Incan tax. The government put this money toward state projects. The Inca's army was so fierce that they often conquered lands without fighting since their threat level was so high. All the prisoners of war became slaves or were thrown in the dungeon. Inca religion did not consist of blood rituals, but the citizens believed that their rulers were descendants from the gods. They often held festivals and harvests for this reason. The Aztecs related to the Mayans and the Incans in many ways. Unlike the Mayans and Incans, the Aztecs were divided in two, nobles and commoners. The commoners made up most of the population and they did most of the jobs the Incas did. Thier families were made up of Agarian people. They were also led by a powerful king named Moctezuma. He always led his people to victory and made his kingdom grow the population to about ten million people. The Aztecs ruled many city-states. Slaves were often prisoners of war or commoners that lost money or needed to gain a little freedom from a crime. Like the Mayas, the Aztecs would always perform blood rituals and human sacrifices, but on a much larger scale.
