Aqueducts
The latin word "aqueduct" litteraly means 'water duct' ; or something that channels water.
There were eleven aqueducts in Rome providing water to the mega city.
were made of clay or multiple lead pipes reinforced with stone blocks and with the force of gravity and pressure as the water ran down
Aqueducts provided a lot of water for people.
Fountains
Until the late 19th century most fountains operated by gravity, and needed a source of water higher than the fountain
reservoir or aqueduct, to make the water flow or jet into the air. In addition to providing drinking water
fountains were used for decoration and to celebrate their builders.
Aqueducts helped fountains give water.

Chinampas
most popular methods used by Aztecs in Tenochtitlan was to use floating gardens on the lake water.
Chinampas are small islands to grow crops when land wasn't available.
They were made out of mud,sticks,decaying vegetation, and Etc.
They planted maize,beans,squash,tomatoes,chili peppers,and flowers.
Canals
They constructed canals so they would not have run out of water.
The water around Tenochtitlan was too salty so they built canals.
Aztecs built a canal from the island city to the shore of the lake where freshwater springs existed.
a large causeway was first built, constructed with rocks, sand and wooden stakes. A canal was then built on this causeway and water from the springs was transported to Tenochtitlan through this canal.
During the arrival of Cortes some natives thought he was Quetzalcoatl acording to the prophecy it said that he will return to mexico.
In 1542 December 7 Montezuma II was killed by a rock.
Hernan Cortes was from Spain and wanted to be wealthy.At 19 he left Spain and tried luck in the Caribbean and eventually landed at the coast of mexico.
One thing that impacted the native were diseases.No one had ever been infected but,however when Cortes came he brought disease for example small pox.
Tenochtitlán was an Aztec city that flourished between A.D. 1325 and 1521. Built on an island on Lake Texcoco
had a system of canals and causeways that supplied the hundreds of thousands of people who lived there
A priest saw a eagle eating a snake on a cactus and that meant that they should live there.
Machu Picchu is believed to have been built by Pachacuti Inca Yupanqui, the ninth ruler of the Inca, in the mid-1400s.
Machu Picchu was an Incan retreat for its emperor.
visitors to Machu Picchu are pleased to find all 16 fountains flowing, with .... a small step, perhaps for decorative purposes
Francisco Pizarro was another Spanish conquistador. He had heard stories of an Indian empire richer than the Aztecs.
He said "i will let you go if you fill a room with gold and silver,"
One day he came across the Inca empire and took Atahualpa hostage.
He killed Atahualpa after he was killed in 1533.
