Aztec Lifestyle

           The Aztec people lived in a way very different from the way we live today. It was a fairly simple daily routine, consisting of the same schedule everyday. Men would farm or engage in craftwork, while women, for the most part, cooked and wove. At home, the family was made of a married couple, the father and husband, and all of their unmarried children, as well as some of the father's relatives. Ever single person had a set of chores to do, such and managing goods to trade in the empire, such as jaguar skins, which were highly valued in the Aztec culture. Boys generally went to temple where the learned more about religion and received military training. Girls, on the other hand, stayed at home and helped their mothers.
