История ацтеков во многом сходна с историей инков. Оба народа пришли на чужие территории, основали на них свои столицы, ставшие вскоре центрами громадных империй. Но обе империи существовали не более двух столетий - до тех пор, пока не вмешались испанцы. Что дошло до нас сегодня - скромные обломки доколумбовых цивилизаций - можно посмотреть только в единично-сохранившихся городах-призраках, как Мачу-Пикчу в Перу, Копан в Гондурасе и Теотиуакан в Мексике.

Wonders of the modern world: Chichen Itza
Some of the most incredible pyramids still in existence are not, as many people erroneously think, in Egypt, but are in South America where they continue to fascinate astronomers, archaeologists and tourists alike.
Of these awe-inspiring edifices it is perhaps Chichen Itza, on the Yucatan Peninsula, in what is modern day Mexico and which, to the delight of many, is listed as one of the ‘Wonders of the Modern World’, that is the most famous, although Machu Pitchu in Peru does compete for this honour.
