Question
what were Aztec rock carvings made for?
Hi Albert,
Can you be more specific? Much of Aztec writing is carved in rock like many MesoAmerican writings. They also had symbolic Gods which were carved in rock like Quezetquatl.
Do you have a picture of one or more that you are curious about? If so, if you could send them to me, I will try to explain what they are.
