Which of the following statements are true about the Mayan, Incan, and Aztec civilization?
Their cultures centered around fishing and they worshipped a god how looked like a fish
None of the statements are completely true for all three civilizations.
The Mayans, Incans, and Aztecs had different cultural practices and beliefs.
- While fishing was important in the Mayan civilization, as they lived near bodies of water, it was not the sole center of their culture. They also relied on farming, particularly in the lowland regions.
- The Incans, who lived in the Andes Mountains, did not focus on fishing as their main economic activity. Instead, they were known for advanced agricultural techniques such as terracing and irrigation.
- The Aztecs were situated in a region with lakes and waterways, so fishing did play a role in their culture, but it was not the sole focus. They were also skilled in agriculture, particularly in chinampas (floating gardens).
As for the statement about fish-like gods, there isn't a unified god that resembled a fish in all three civilizations. Each civilization had its own unique pantheon of gods and deities, and while some may have had fish-related deities or gods associated with water, it cannot be generalized for all three civilizations.
Which of the following statements are true about the Mayan, Incan, and Aztec civilization?
A. Their cultures centered around fishing and they worshipped a god how looked like a fish
B. They were advanced in mathematics and astronomy
C. They built magnificent cities and stone temples
D.
Both statements B and C are true about the Mayan, Incan, and Aztec civilizations.
B. They were advanced in mathematics and astronomy:
All three civilizations had impressive knowledge and achievements in mathematics and astronomy. The Mayans had a complex calendar system and made significant advancements in mathematics, including the concept of zero. The Incans were skilled astronomers and constructed observatories to study celestial movements. The Aztecs also had a sophisticated calendar system and made astronomical observations.
C. They built magnificent cities and stone temples:
All three civilizations were known for their impressive architectural and engineering skills. The Mayans built massive stone temples and pyramids in their cities such as Tikal and Chichen Itza. The Incans constructed vast cities like Machu Picchu on mountain slopes and built intricate stone structures like the iconic Temple of the Sun. The Aztecs built grand temples and structures in their capital city of Tenochtitlan, including the Templo Mayor.
D. The question is incomplete or not provided, so it is impossible to determine whether it is true or false without any additional information.
The statement that their cultures centered around fishing is partially correct. While fishing was an important activity for some groups within these civilizations, it was not the main focus of their culture. The Mayans, Incans, and Aztecs had diverse agricultural practices and relied heavily on farming. Their civilizations were known for their advanced agricultural techniques.
The statement that they worshipped a god who looked like a fish is not entirely accurate. Each civilization had its own pantheon of gods and goddesses, and while there were deities associated with water and various animals, there is no specific god that resembled a fish shared among all three civilizations.
In summary, the correct statement is that their cultures centered around agriculture and farming, while the statement about worshipping a fish-like god is not true.
