The Maya, Aztecs, and Conquistadors

We use the Spanish Conquistadors as a bridge to understand the Maya. Using archaeology, we cover their beliefs, maths, numbers, astrology, calendar, and writing. We also look at Christopher Columbus and the impact of the Conquistadors.

  • Their view of the world and the cosmos

  • Writing and numbers

  • The Lords of Time – astronomy and the calendar

  • Smells, sounds, and sacrifice

  • Potatoes, chocolate, peppers, and tobacco

  • The coming of the Conquistadors

  • Steel, gunpowder, and horses

  • Warfare and games
