USA HISTORY

Detailed explanation-1: -The Mayan, Aztec, and Incan civilizations were all polytheistic with an emphasis on the worship of the sun. This focus on the worship of the sun led to the development of elaborate and quite accurate calendars in all three societies.

Detailed explanation-2: -Yes, the Aztec, Maya, and Inca were all native empires in the Americas that worshiped a number of gods. Worshiping a number of gods is called polytheism, so these three empires were polytheistic.

Detailed explanation-3: -The Maya were polytheistic, but they did not have any particular God, while the Aztec worship Huitzilopochtli as their main god and Inca worshiped Inti as their primary God.

Detailed explanation-4: -Maya religion was polytheistic. The Maya worshipped many gods who worked together and sometimes in opposition of each other. Their foremost god, Itzam Na “incorporated in himself the aspects of many other gods: not only creation but fire, rain, crops, and earth” (Keen, 2004, p. 18).

Detailed explanation-5: -The Maya were polytheistic like the Aztecs, but they did not have any particular god, while the Aztec worship Huitzilopochtli as their main god. The Aztecs used a sacred calendar, a 365-day agricultural calendar, and their writing system was based on glyphs (symbols that stand for sound or words).
