Who were they?
The Aztecs were people that lived in central America from the 6th century to 1525 (Aztec History 3/5/12 ). Most people know them by their calendar that they invented. Their Golden Era was during 1440 to 1510, but shortly after their golden era they had their fall (Aztec History 17/5/12 ). Their first ruler was Acamapichtli (Ācamāpichtli) meaning "Handful Of Reeds" (Acamapichtli - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia 17/5/12 ). They had a total of 11 rulers and their last ruler was Cuauhtemoc, means One that has descended like an eagle (Cuauhtémoc - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia 17/5/12). He died by the Spaniards who hung him after they captured the city (Aztecs 18/5/12).
