I'll be glad to check your answers.

1. The correct answer is Mexico. To find the answer, we can break down the clue given in the question. According to legend, the Aztec god of war instructed the Aztecs to build their capital where they saw "an eagle perched on a cactus and holding a snake in its beak." This image is currently depicted on the flag of a modern nation. By analyzing the options given, we can eliminate Colombia, Panama, and Peru as they do not have this image on their flags. Therefore, the correct answer is Mexico.

2. The correct answer is heads. The Olmec civilization is known for their large carved stone heads. To answer this question, it helps to have some prior knowledge or research on the Olmec civilization.

3. The correct answer is slash-and-burn agriculture. Mayan farmers used the technique of slash-and-burn agriculture to convert ash to fertilizer. To find the answer, we can analyze the given options and eliminate fire farming, ash agriculture, and floating farms as they are not the specific farming technique used by the Mayans. Slash-and-burn agriculture involves clearing land by cutting down and burning vegetation, which then turns into ash, providing nutrients for the soil.

4. The correct answer is hieroglyphics. The Mayas developed a system of writing using hieroglyphics. To find the answer, we can analyze the given options and eliminate 365 characters and the same letters we use as they are not accurate descriptions of the Mayan writing system. Hieroglyphics were pictorial symbols used by the Mayas to represent words and sounds.
