Compare and contrast the cultures of the, Maya, Inca and Aztec including roles of the people within each society and region M A Y a The Maya were divided into two main classes: nobles and commoners. The nobles: the king, top officials, and priests. The majority of Maya society were commoners, mostly farmers, who worked the land of the Empire. Lower ranking lords and higher ranking commoners formed a kind of middle class.

Achievements in astronomy and mathematics The Mayas were brilliant astronomers. Although they had no telescopes, they made detailed observations of the heavens. They plotted the positions of the sun, moon and planets. With this data, they were able to predict events such as eclipses of the sun, and the moon. The Mayas used a 260-day religious calendar and a 365-day solar calendar. The Mayas also developed an advanced number system. The Maya understood the concept of zero long before Europeans did. Their number system was flexible enough to be used for multiplication and division. Achievements in astronomy and mathematics

When Cortes and his soldiers reached the capital of the Aztecs, Montezuma, their king welcomed Cortes as an honored guest. Tensions mounted between the Aztecs and the Spaniards.

How the Inca Empire was defeated by the Spanish Francisco Pizarro and a small group of conquistadors came to the Inca Empire in 1531. There, a smallpox epidemic had killed many Incas. Pizarro took advantage of the chaos in the empire. He invited Atahualpa, the emperor, to a friendly meeting and then had him imprisoned. Atahualpa arranged for a ransom that added up to almost 20 tons of gold and silver. This was said to be the largest ransom in history. However, Pizarro did not honor his end of the bargain. He rejected the Inca ransom and ordered Atahualpa killed, with that the Inca Empire was defeated.
