Students will learn: How geography gave rise to three civilizations in the Americas; class structure, family life, warfare, religion, and slavery; how the Aztec and Incan empires were defeated by the Spanish; art, architecture, and oral traditions; achievements in astronomy and mathematics. And the famous places of the Americas, Chichen Itza, Tenochtitlan, and Machu Picchu, are depicted in photos.
