Social Hierarchy and Religion
Social Hierarchy and Religion is a skill on Pengi from Lesson 2: The Aztecs in Pengi Social Studies (Grade 7).
Key Concepts
Aztec society was strictly divided. At the top was the Emperor, followed by nobles, priests, and military leaders. Below them were the Commoners (farmers and merchants), and at the bottom were enslaved people. However, the system allowed for some mobility; a commoner could rise to nobility by performing great deeds in war.
Religion dominated daily life. The Aztecs believed that the sun god, Huitzilopochtli , required human blood to battle the darkness and rise each day. To keep the world from ending, priests performed Human Sacrifice on a massive scale at the Great Temple. This religious belief reinforced the need for constant warfare to secure captives for the gods.
