Many historians believed that the word originated when Maximillian, a Frenchman, who was the emperor of Mexico. There is evidence of the usage of the word that dates back much earlier than the arrival of Europeans, so the word had to come from somewhere else. Today, the term mariachi refers to the musicians who play traditional Mexican music on streets, at celebrations, and in cafes. The origins of the mariachi can be traced back to the days of the Spanish colonization in the Sixteenth Century. At this time, theatre was very popular.
The first gods were Chaos, Uranus, and his father Cronus (“Early Life”). Cronus swallowed his first five children because he believed they would try to overthrow him. Zeus’ grandmother Rhea substituted a stone wrapped in clothing for baby Zeus, and Cronus swallowed the stone along with the other children (“Early Life”). After Cronus had thrown up Zeus and his brothers and sisters, they began a war against Cronus that lasted for 10 years (Morford and Lenardon;”Early Life”).When the war was over, Zeus overthrew Cronus and the Titans with the help of his siblings. Zeus threw a lightning bolt at Cronus, and banished him to the underworld for all of eternity (“Early Life”).
Then the Aztec civilisation was at its peak from 1200 to 1500 which was when the Spanish arrived. The Aztecs, like the Toltec were originally derived from the Chichimec people who spoke the Nahuatl dialect which is part of the Uto-Aztecan language family. The Aztec empire was inhabited by a group of people that were once nomadic, the mexica’s. After their long trip from Aztlán, the semi-mythical northern homeland, it was said that they felt like outcasts, that was when they saw a sign from their god Huitzilopochtli when they reached valley of central Mexico after 1168. The sign was of an eagle, perched on a cactus eating a precious serpent, the Mexicas took this sign as an indication that this was the place they should settle in.
But the rivalry continued, and the paw of the jaguar knocked him from the sky. So the reign of the second sun god came to an end. A great wind arose and there was great destruction on the earth.
The name of the Aztec's sun god, Huitzilopochtli, was also the god of war. Aztec mythology states Huitzilopochtli directed the Aztecs' ancestors to the location of Tenochtitlan, or modern-day Mexico City. In Incan society, the emperor is a descendant from God, he is believed to own everything on Earth. Aztec society is ruled by a king who is elected by a council
Flood Comparison The flood of Gilgamesh and the flood of Noah’s Ark has many comparisons. Both of these floods symbolize rebirth and a new beginning for mankind, in addition to god’s wrath.

Utnapishtim was the one chosen to build a boat, because he was asked to regenerate mankind after the flood. In the bible, God decided that there was too much evil in the world and decided to flood the earth for forty days and nights.
It was the arrival of Spanish conquistador Hernan Cortes in February of 1519 and it would be the beginning of the end for the Aztec and many other indigenous civilizations. Commissioned by Governor Velazquez of Cuba, Hernan Cortes was sent with roughly 500 soldiers to the eastern shores of Mexico to gain information on the indigenous people there and establish friendly relations. But Cortes, a man consumed by greed, had heard of legends that told of vast riches and treasures within Mexico, and with that the Spanish conquest of the Aztecs had already begun. In direct defiance of Velazquez’s orders not to engage in a war of conquest, Cortes arrived with the intentions of a complete Spanish conquest over the indigenous people, whom he would learn called themselves the Aztec. Initially, small tribes greeted them and bestowed them with gifts, and Cortes even acquired a translator named Malinche who would play a crucial role in the downfall of her own people.

Factors that assisted the Development of advanced social and political structures of the Aztecs The Aztecs called themselves Mexica and because of this the land all around them has become known as Mexico. They built the empire of Mesoamerica in the 1400s. The fall of the Mayapan and the disintegration of the Maya empire was partly a consequence of the rise of the Aztecs. Nomads, Aztecs, from the north came to the area of central Mexico now known as the Valley of Mexico. There they settled near other communities of native peoples, the Chichimec/ Tolmec, that has been built along the lakes in the center of the valley.
