    •• Cultural note:
    A Náhuatl-speaking people of Central America who in the fourteenth century established a brilliant but tyrannical civilization in central and southern Mexico. The capital was Tenochtitlán, built on reclaimed marshland which became Mexico City. Renowned for their jewelry, the Aztecs were also skilled architects and used a writing system based on pictographs and hieroglyphs. The Aztec calendar followed a 52-year astronomical cycle. They worshipped the plumed serpent Quetzalcóatl and the war-god Huitzilopochtli, whom their priests appeased by human sacrifice. The Aztec empire collapsed in 1521 after defeat by the Spanish under Hernán Cortés and Pedro de Alvarado

    POSADA
    A posada is a traditional Mexican Christmas party which takes place on one of the nine days before Christmas. To begin with, some of the guests go outside to represent Mary and Joseph, and sing a song asking for a room for the night (this is “pedir posada”). The guests inside sing the response, inviting them in, and the party begins. Along with traditional Christmas fare such as “tamales” (steamed corn dumplings), and drinks such as “ponche” (Christmas punch), there will be a “piñata” for the children. This is a cardboard or papier-mâché container which is suspended over people's heads, and which the children each in turn try to break with a stick while blindfolded. When the “piñata” breaks, its contents are scattered on the floor and there is a rush to gather up the candies.

    Founded in the twelfth century in the region of Lake Titicaca, the Andean empire of the Quechua-speaking Incas grew until by the fifteenth century it extended from southern Colombia in the north to Argentina and central Chile in the south. Their society was rigidly divided into classes: the nobility, their servants, and the common people. The Incas worshipped the sun and the moon, and believed that Manco Capac, their first emperor or inca, was descended from the sun. An extensive network of roads was built to facilitate control over the empire from its capital in Cuzco. The Incas left an impressive heritage of monuments, including the palace complex of Machu Picchu. The empire collapsed in 1533 when the Spanish conquistador Francisco Pizarro had the emperor Atahualpa executed and occupied Cuzco

  • 13 Aztecas

    A náhuatl (↑ náhuatl a1) -speaking people of Central America who in the fourteenth century established a brilliant but tyrannical civilization in central and southern Mexico. The capital was Tenochtitlán, built on reclaimed marshland which became Mexico City. Renowned for their jewelry, the Aztecs were also skilled architects and used a writing system based on pictographs and hieroglyphs. The Aztec calendar followed a 52-year astronomical cycle. They worshipped the plumed serpent Quetzalcóatl and the war-god Huitzilopochtli, whom their priests appeased by human sacrifice. The Aztec empire collapsed in 1521 after defeat by the Spanish under Hernán Cortés and Pedro de Alvarado.

    MAÍZ
    Maíz (“corn” or “maize”) is the principal indigenous cereal crop of the New World. It is a domesticated form of a native American grass, which may have been cultivated as early as 5000 BC by the ancestors of the Mayan and Aztec Indians, who bred it over centuries to become the plant we know today. Because of its fundamental role in society, it was invested with great cultural significance in their creation myths, and other legends and rituals. It is so hardy and productive that after Europeans reached America, its cultivation quickly spread round the world. It is now grown in most countries and is the third largest crop after wheat and rice. Corn is a basic ingredient in many traditional Latin American foods, such as tortillas, tamales and arepas and in drinks such as atole and chicha.

    PIRÁMIDES MAYAS Y AZTECAS
    The major pre-Columbian cultures of Mesoamerica (the area from northern Mexico to Panama) had many common features, not least of which was the construction of ceremonial pyramids. They served as the focus of religious rites, and those of the Maya may also have functioned as astronomical observatories. The discovery in 1952 of a sarcophagus at the heart of the Mayan Pyramid of Inscriptions (built around 680 AD) at Palenque indicated that one at least was used as a tomb. The great pyramids of the Aztec capital Tenochtitlán (built in successive layers over the preceding two centuries) amazed the Conquistadors on their arrival in 1519, though this did not stop the Spanish from demolishing them and using the stone to build Mexico City's cathedral. Today the pyramids, whether ruined or restored, are among the most visited tourist sites in the Americas.

    QUECHUA Quechua, the language spoken by the Incas, is the most widely spoken indigenous language in South America, with some 13 million speakers in the Andean region. The first Quechua grammar was compiled by a Spanish missionary in 1560, as part of a linguistic policy intended to aid the process of evangelization. In 1975 Peru made Quechua an official state language. From Quechua come words such as "llama", "condor" and "puma".

    QUECHUA
    Quechua is an Amerindian language spoken by more than eight million people in the Andean region. In Peru, something between a quarter and a third of the population use Quechua, and the position in Bolivia and Ecuador is similar. It is also spoken in northern Chile and Argentina, and southern Colombia. Quechua was the language of the Inca empire, so the variety spoken in the Inca capital of Cuzco was the most important of its many dialects. The number of speakers declined dramatically in the centuries following the Spanish conquest, but in more recent years there have been official attempts to promote the language. As with the Aztec language Nahuatl, many Quechua words passed into Spanish, and on to many other languages. For example, in English we find “condor”, “jerky” (n, = dried meat) and “quinine”.
