Calvin's project this year are Aztecs and Mayans. He started with some basic questions he made up himself including:
# How many gods do they believe in?
# Where did they worship?
Here are some of the places he looked:
* Google Search: mayan temple. Some fantastic pictures of Mayan temples
* "Aztec Temples":http://images.google.com/images?hl=en&lr=&ie=ISO-8859-1&q=aztec+temple&sa=N&tab=wi. Same for Aztec Temples.
* "Aztec and Mayan Gods":http://www.meta-religion.com/World_Religions/Ancient_religions/Central_america/aztec_and_mayan_gods.htm. An incredible list of Aztec and Mayan Gods.
* "Huitzilopochtli":http://www.windows.ucar.edu/tour/link=/mythology/huitzilopochtli_sun.html. The head god himself.
* "Human Sacrifices":http://nv.essortment.com/aztecsacrifice_raif.htm. The most incredible part of the story was the regularity of human sacrifices. Nearly 20,000 people per year.

You are right. We didn’t really need to cover that for Calvin’s report. Sorry about that. The stuff on the gods was the focus.
