They arrived in this region during the early 13th century after the fall of the Toltecs. 2. How did they live before the conquest? Before the conquest, they believed in several gods and believed that sacrifices would satisfy the gods. There were social classes known as the nobility (pilli), the common people (macehualli), different branches of education, and other traditions that would appease the gods. People who were lower than the nobility were in poverty, even though there was a lot of money. They had ball games with professional athletes such as Ulama. Eventually, due to their strong military traditions, they build an empire. 3. What languages are / were spoken by your group?
