MESOAMERICA PRESENTATION.

  
I made some masks of Tlaloc and Quetzalcoatl for the history club presentation because we are talking about Ancient America.
Here I made a timeline of some of the most important civilizations in Mesoamerica and I put the Inca in because it was a very important civilization even though it was down in South America.
Here I made a map of Central America. It was like a jigsaw that the other kids in the club had to put together in the right places.
 The red is the Aztec civilization, the green is the Olmecs and the yellow is the Maya.
Here I am doing the presentation. First I wore the Quetzalcoatl mask then I talked about the timeline.
I talked about the first Americans and how they made their way down into all parts of the Americas.
Then we all put the map together and I showed them where the different cultures lived.
Then I talked about the religion many of the cultures shared such as the importance of the Jaguar, and the gods Quetzalcoatl and Tlaloc.
And finally there was a child sacrifice for the god Tlaloc and everyone volunteered to be sacrificed. The heart was a balloon in a red glove.
Even I, the shaman, ended up being sacrificed!!
