The Aztec calendar is actually comprised of two different calendars. The first was called the xiuhpohualli, and had 365 days. The other was called the tonalpohualli, which consisted of 260 days. The tonalpohualli was very important to the Aztec people because it divided the 260 days into days and rituals to the Gods. This is similar to the Liturgical calendar used by the Church because it splits the year into certain periods such as, Lent, Advent, and Ordinary Time. The xiuhpohualli is split into four parts called Calli, Tochtli, Acatl, and Tecpatl. Every fifty-two years the name of the year was the same.

Affects of European Culture And The Fall of The Empire

# data[].attributes.body
The European impact on the Aztecs was positive and negative, the negatives outweighing the positives as it eventually brought around the end of their civilization. The positives were the Europeans bringing over domestic animals, such as cows, pigs and horses. The Spanish helped end the practice of human sacrifice. The negatives were plague and conquistadors. Cortes was the Spanish conquistador that fought the Aztecs for control of the land and was responsible for more than two hundred and forty thousand deaths. The rest were made slaves until plagues such as typhus and smallpox killed the majority of the rest. The survivors were forced to adopt Spanish culture and much of the Aztec culture was lost.
