Achievements of The Aztecs The Aztecs had the most important achievements. First, they built the city of Tenochtitlan in the middle of a lake, and the Great Temple. Some may say that the Mayans are better, but they just had to many dialects to keep track of.

Tenochtitlan The Aztecs saw a need to build the city of Tenochtitlan in the middle of a huge lake. They had to make a causeway all the way from the bank to where Tenochtitlan would be.

The Great Temple Another of many Aztec achievements is the Great Temple in the middle of Tenochtitlan. It is 150 feet high and has two stairways for two different gods.
