Plz help me The Aztec spoke a language called Nahuatl. We know so much about the Aztec language because when the Spanish came to the new world they brought along informants seeking knowledge of the cultures of the “New World”. They took the time to write dictionaries, histories and even grammer books about the Aztec language. One thing learned is that the Nahuatl language would often combine multiple words into one. For example, Nicuatl translates to “I eat” and Nitamalcuatl translates to “I eat tamales”. ​

1. According to the reading, how did the Spanish help preserve the Aztec language? ​

2. Why is it important to record present day information about our culture/civilization?​

when we think of a­ncient paga­n kings, the ideas of justice and fairness probably aren't the first things to come to mind. we moderns may be more likely to imagine fickle, power-hungry despots who were ready to put someone to death on a whim. but king hammurabi, who ruled a prosperous and thriving babyloniaalmost four millennia ago, doesn't quite fit that mold. he claimed to have protect the weak from oppression, and scholars believe he fostered an atmosphere of justice and righteousness for his people.

this belief is based on an object that was discovered only a century ago. it has already earned a place alongside the rosetta stone as one of the most important artifacts of the ancient world. this stela (stone pillar) bears the inscription of the code of hammurabi, and it has shed light on the laws, culture and life in babylonia.
