Aztec Indians 2

Introduction to the People of the Sun The sun is a visible, astronomical fact - "the one immutable fact of existence, the source of all life on earth." It journeys overhead from east to west by day, dips into darkness, and by night travels underground west to east to rise triumphantly again at dawn - the start of a new day (Waters 203). The sun has been the focal point of energy and worship in many …

…all creations. Through this energy given off by the sun, the Aztecs grew and flourished as a powerful people. Although some aspects of Aztec life may seem ruthless to it's interpreters, one ray of light can be sent to all of humanity. Every living soul lives beneath the same bright sun, and with the dawning of each day one should be thankful and celebrate the gift of life they have received for that new day.
