Image: Statue of an Aztec warrior. Remember this is not an actual warrior, but rather this is a humanities object.
Humanities Questions: (A) How effective do you think the fighting uniform as represented on this statue was during the many winning wars the Aztecs fought? (B) What effect would such an Aztec warrior's uniform have had on a Spanish conquistador? (C) Compare and contrast this warrior with the figure of the conquistador in the museum in Cuernavaca.
