They are not here because when the Aztecs occupied  Texas, Oklahoma, New Mexico,  they were forced out by catastrophic events some huge storm from the pacific, and a great drought forced them to migrate further south, they ended up in the valley of Mexico in 1193 A.D.  Just type in ( origins of the Aztec people) and scroll down to No. 2 from Mississippi to Mexico, it will tell their story.

Moctezuma Xocoytl II \n1480-1520 \nAztec Emperor \nMoctezuma Xocoytl is the most well known emperor in the history of the Aztecs. He was also the last true emperor the Aztec empire would ever know, for it was during his reign that Cortez came to conquer Mexico. So how was it that such a great emperor and his awesome empire was conquered by a force of less than one thousand when the empire’s capital city alone numbered around three hundred thousand? The Aztec’s down fall was due to one thing alone. That thing was the Aztec’s false religion that governed every part of their lives and the superstition that Moctezuma held due to this false religion. \n\nMoctezuma II, also know as Moctezuma Xocoytl (Xocoytl simply meaning the younger), was born the youngest son of the Emperor Axacayatl who ruled from 1469 until his death in 1481, one year after Moctezuma’s birth. The Imperial line of the Aztecs was not hereditary. A council of elders upon the death of the Emperor simply chose a young man from a noble family to be the next ruler. So Axacayatl was succeeded by a ruthless and bloodthirsty emperor named Ahuitzol, who ruled from 1481 to 1502. Upon his death, Moctezuma II was chosen. At the time, he was in his early twenties and student at the temple. After he was placed on the throne, he immediately started showing that he was more of a “take charge” ruler and different than his successor. While he did personally lead his armies into 43 military victories, he also made a lot of economic changes and attempted to help his people. He built a double aqueduct and several temples. He would also go out in the city in disguise to discover if his latest edict was being carried out and offer bribes to the city judges to discover if they were corrupt in an attempt to better the political and legal system. \n\nNot much is known about his personal life, his likes and dislikes and whether or not he had a wife and a lot of children. Really all that is known is that he loved chocolate and that his daughter Isabella, the one child that is known of, fell heir to what was left of his vast fortune and wealth after the Spanish took over. Since Moctezuma was a temple student in the early years of his life before he became the Emperor, he knew much about his religion and its gods, which caused him to be very superstitious when Cortez came. An Aztec legend was that one of the Great Quetzalcoatl would return as a bearded white man. Also, the Spanish sailed in from the east, which was supposedly the direction that the god had sailed off to. Knowing all this had Moctezuma believing that Cortez was a god to be feared.\n\nWhen Cortez first arrived in 1519, Moctezuma thought he was the god Quetzalcoatl. He believed that because of the fact that Cortez and his arrival concurred with Aztec legends about the god. Also, when Moctezuma asked after these strange visitors, he was told that their weapons spat lightning and thunder and that some of them had two heads, six legs, and one body (the Aztecs having never seen horses before, let alone men riding on them). He was superstitious and feared what the gods would do or what they might require if something displeased them. After all, the gods were horrible and ruthless, demanding human hearts just to keep their hunger appeased. At first, Moctezuma tried to bribe them into leaving by sending gold and many other gifts. Then, when Cortez burned all the ships except the one that was to send the messages back to the King and advanced toward the city, he managed, by those actions, to further convince Moctezuma that he was a god. Surely only a god could be so bold and fearless. \n\nMoctezuma continued trying to bribe him by sending even more gold and gifts, this time to stay away from the city, right up until Cortez and his men had reached the city gates. Still believing that these men were gods, Moctezuma allowed and even welcomed them into the city where he even gave them flowers from his own private garden, one of

from my memory, NOT an internet seach, copy and paste:\n\nWhen Francisco Pizzaro , his brother, and a small army of Spanish Conquistadores arrived in Peru in the year 1530?, they were at the right place at the right time.\nPizarro had learned a military tactic from the conquerer of Mexico, Hernando Cortez, and that was:  Find out who the enemy of your enemy is... and make an alliance with HIM.\nAt the time of Pizzaro's arrival, in the mid 1500's, he had already traveled south through Panama and down through Ecuador.  Here he learned that the Incan Empire was at this time divided between Atahualpa (in Central Peru) and his half-brother in Ecuador.  The empire was already on the verge of Civil War.\nPLUS these facts: \n 1.The Spanish had the advantage of steel weapons over stone weapons at this time.\n2. They had cannon to resist bows and arrows.\n3.  The terrorizing effect of horses, and large mastiff dogs...against footsoldiers who had never seen such beasts before.\n4. The lack of unity among the indians. They were just farmers, ruled by their "god" on earth (The 'Inca').  hardly ever travelling beyond their villages.\n5. The prophecies in Indian mythology about "the arrival of white gods one day".\nNOW WE FAST FORWARD to the reason Atahualpa did not order his "troops" to attack.\nPizzaro appeared friendly at first.  And remember, he could be allied with the northern empire.  Then, he secretly lured Atahualpa to a little village with a wall around it called CAJAMARCA.  Here, he could easily defend the walled village with his small force of Spaniards, horses, guns, cannon.  He kidnapped and imprisoned Atahualpa and demanded a ransom of a room full of gold, and another room full of silver.  Why now, would Atahualpa order an attack?  Atahualpa knew that filling a room full ofgold and silver WAS possible, so just pay the guy and he will leave,right?\nIndians came from miles and miles around, all bearing gold and silver.  The rooms were filled as promised.\nAnd then...?  You guessed it. Pizzaro ordered Atahualpa garroted (strangled) on August 29.  (my birthday).\nFor miles and miles around the word spread that Atahualpa was dead.  And thousands of Indians, who were STILL BRINGING GOLD, hid their undelivered gold in a secret place that has never been found.\nThe story continues, but this is enough to answer your question, my friend.

I'm not sure with the dates, but there are some ones:\n\n1) Independence war from Spain (1810-1821) WON!\n2) Spanish attempt to reconquer Mexico (1829) WON!\n3) Mexico-Texas war (independence) (1835)Betrayed... lost :(\n4) "Cake's war": Mexico v.s. Spain, England and France... lost!!! That was mostly a financial war, so we had to pay a lot of debts... (1838)\n6) USA Intervention (1846) ... LOST (what did americans really wanted???!!! Gezz!!!)\n5) French Intervention (1864) WON!!!Whoa!!! Napoleon III, the ruler of the world, sure learned his lesson!!! Plus, we're the first (and perhaps only) american country who killed an Emperor (Maximilian of Habsburg).\n6) Mexican revolution (1910-1920). WON? LOST?... who knows??? Yeah, the civil war. We had a dictatorship... so we're still arguing if the revolution was favorable or not.\n7) USA's invasion to Veracruz Port (1914). LOST!!! What??? Mexican polices arrest an american officer for carrying a weapon without permission and uncle sam's answer is to blow up an entire city??? Gezzz!!! (Well, I guess the Empire was really worried Mexico had excellent relationships with Germany and Japan and awesome military technology before 1st. World War started ;))\n8) Second world war (1942). WON!!! Yup. Mexico, humbly but firmly collaborated with the north american armies. Because of collaborating with winner's wing, we had economical growth after the war ended.

It would be more constructive to ask the ways they are different.  And which calendar you are comparing to which. \nThe Maya had many calendars; the Aztecs only had two: the solar-agricultural calendar (365 days, 18 20 month days plus 1 5 month day) and the 260 day ritual calendar. Both of these were based off the Mayan calendars, except for the language of course, and it's suspected that the Olmecs (who came before the Maya) actually created them.\nIf you are talking about the calendar which "ends" in 2012, the Aztecs did not use or follow that one (called the Long Count). Instead they used the New Fire ceremony, which happens every 52 years when the 260 day and the 365 day calendars came together.

The Aztecs, or more properly, the Mexicas, for whom the later Republic of Mexico was named, were a Mesoamerican people of central Mexico in the 14th, 15th and 16th centuries. They were a civilization with a rich mythology and cultural heritage. Their capital was Tenochtitlan, built on raised islets in Lake Texcoco – the site of modern-day Mexico City. The Aztec empire produced the biggest demographic explosion in Mesoamerica: the population grew from an estimated 10 million to 15 million.
