Aztec City Design Flaws Comparison

The Aztec city of Tenochtitlan was built on a lake that had undrinkable water.  Since Tenochtitlan was on a island if someone was to invade they could cut off water supplies on the bridge and surround the city with nothing coming out and nothing going in.  Tenochtitlan fell for that exact reason the Spaniards came and cut off the water supply and surrounded the city.  Hernando Cortes and his crew of 600 men (including Hernando) took down the empire that the Aztecs had built .  Hernando Cortes and his crew killed 6000 Aztecs.

LA has some flaws in city design.  The roads are in weird shapes and they have many twists and turns an can get stuck or jammed.  I think that we should have underground roads that lead to a central point if an attack were to happen so people would have safety and other people could arm themselves to fight.

Aztec Sacrifices

The Aztecs sacrificed people that were slaves, they did this because they believed that it would please the god that made the sun rise and the sun set.  Slaves were prisoners of war or people that didn't pay their debts or people that did something wrong.  Slaves were sacrificed so often that the Aztec great temple was permanently stained with blood.  They sacrificed slaves by taking a knife and they cut their chest open and rip out their heart.        

I think that we should make people work that the Aztecs did but we shouldn't kill them for a sun........god.  We shouldn't kill them because everybody has the right to life.  Also thats human cruelty
