The Aztec Empire was a vast territory that stretched from present-day Central America to the Gulf of Mexico.
A predominant feature in this empire were its many cities and towns with names like Tenochtitlan and Texcoco, which still survive today as Mexican place names.
Of course, not all ancient places have survived to become modern day geographical features. Why would they? Ancient peoples did not know about Google maps! Plus much has changed since then: Continents drift, people migrate, languages evolve. If you are lucky enough to be an archaeologist or anthropologist who specializes in these things (like me!) it’s fun trying to piece together where old settlements once stood using clues such as pottery shards found at archaeological sites.
The Aztecs were a major power for about 200 years, but by the time of their arrival in Central Mexico on December 25th 1519 they had been weakened by civil war and disease. The Spanish arrived to find an empire with defensive walls that stretched from present-day Central America to the Gulf of Mexico.
Aztec’s are known primarily as builders – building cities like Tenochtitlan and Texcoco which still survive today as Mexican place names. It is important to remember there was more than one ancient civilization named “Aztec.” There is not just one type of Native American culture or language called “Aztec”—there are actually many different cultures who all have similar words meaning
Aztec Names: 14 Reasons You Can Blame the Recession on Them
14 Reasons You Can Blame the Recession On Aztec Names, or Cause and Effect of Today’s Economy.
Welcome to my blog post about “cause and effect” in today’s economy. I’m sure you all are wondering what this has anything to do with Aztec names? Well it does because there is a correlation between how many people have an aztec name that correlates directly with each aspect of our economic decline. So here we go.. into the list!
Where did these numbers come from? Here is where I got them from – US Census Bureau Data Tables for 2010 (here). The last column says “percentage”. This percentage includes how many people who have an Aztec name.
– first, it’s important to note that over the past several years since the latest recession there has been a decline in our economy and some of its aspects are as followed: businesses aren’t hiring because they’re struggling financially themselves, unemployment is high among every demographic except for those with higher education degrees (i.e., college), some areas may be hit especially hard due to lack of jobs available within them – these are all factors contributing to why we’ve had such economic woes up until this point. So now let me break down how each percentage correlates with different types of Aztec names..
Some words I want you think about while reading through my blog post today are “Aztec names,” “recession” and “economic woes.”
*This blog post is about Aztec names, the recession & economic woes. Â *The article is written to convince people that they can blame the latest recession on Aztec names. Â The author begins by listing 14 reasons why this conclusion should be drawn from their list of facts.*
What are some words you want me to think about while reading your long-form content? (i.e., what do I need more information about?) What are some possible conclusions readers might draw after reading it? What evidence supports these claims? Why would someone believe them? Why not another conclusion or claim instead of yours? If so, how could my arguments change for a different conclusion?

Â The author begins by listing 14 reasons why this conclusion should be drawn from their list of facts. *Some words you might want me to think about while reading your long-form content: economy, market crash, jobless rate.* * Some possible conclusions readers might draw after reading it: That Aztec Names have something to do with the economic woes we’re experiencing now; that some foreigners may be given Americanized birth certificates and therefore don’t know how true their name really sounds like which leads them into debt later in life. * Evidence supporting these conclusions: The author lists 14 reasons to support this conclusion.
* Â Some weaknesses and strengths of the content: The first weakness is that there are no sources, but we can assume they’re not needed because it’s just one man providing his opinions about a topic he has knowledge in. Second, it doesn’t really provide any suggestions on how to fix anything or where to go from here. A strength is that it provides both sides of the argument- for example saying that Aztec names might be causing all these problems as well as suggesting some possible solutions like altering our government policies towards foreign nationals who come into America.*

“Aztec names are not just a popular baby name for our modern day, they were once the dominant language in much of Central America and Mexico.”
– “In pre-Spanish times, the Aztecs numbered about 11 million people living on an area that encompassed what is now central Mexico and extended into present-day northern Guatemala and southern Colorado.”
“The Aztec calendar was based around cycles of 260 days called xiuhpohualli. The longest cycle consisted of 18 “months” (roughly equivalent to 20 years), the next one down 15 months or so, then 12 months etcetera. Each month had its own deity associated with it who ruled over specific aspects ranging from the “lucky” month of Tlacaxipeualiztli, during which people were sacrificed to provide a tribute for the god Huitzilopochtli; to Ochpaniztli, when everyone went into debt in anticipation of repayment by the gods at harvest time. The Aztec also had an elaborate system called tonalpohualli (“the count of days”) that combined vigesimal tallying with 20 day ‘weeks’.”
– “Aztec names are often composed from two parts: one referring to their place or lineage and another signifying something about them, like whether they’re male or female.”
– “As well as being given personal names
-In the Aztec language, there are no vowels.
-You can’t spell “Kylie” without AYLSMITHZN!
-Look at my shirt with an aztec design on it – that’s right this blog is sponsored by H&R Block
