Who were the Ancient Americans?

Did the Aztecs actually sacrifice humans to the gods?

Is there truth to the rumor that the Mayans were actually aliens on Earth?

Did the Incas really just disappear?! Why was the city of Machu Picchu just abandoned?

In this unit of study you will:

  • Compare and contrast the Ancient American cultures of the Mayas, Aztecs, and Incas to the other ancient cultures we learned about this semester
  • Create a final project of your choosing to answer a wonder that you have about one of the Ancient American cultures
