The Aztecs did not use letters to write
with they used small pictures called glyphs instead of words. They would joined a few
glyphs together to make a sentence. Sometimes
they would tell a whole story in one complicated picture.
In this picture three warriors are crossing the lake in
two canoes towards another land. They are surrounded by crocodiles and serpents. The
journey probably took them 3 days!! The glyphs for rabbit, deer and death are in the sky
Try and work out what these MIGHT mean.
