Aztec Achievements The history of the Aztecs and their tremendous civilization is even today something we all like to read about. Sadly the Aztec achievements are a bit difficult to judge. Why? We all know the story of how the city and citizens were decked with gold for the arrival of the Spanish conquistadors. But as it turned out, the arrival of Spanish conquistadors was the downfall of the Aztec civilization. In fact the entire civilization was butchered for a few paltry pieces of gold. The invading Spanish catholic friars and monks also destroyed all Aztecs books and codices which were records of Aztec history and inventions they had made. A great disappointment! But many of the Aztec achievements and innovation have still survived to this day and a few of them were really magnificent.
