The Mayas and the Aztecs were well known powerful Meso American Indian tribes that conquered other tribes close to their territories. But apart from military conquest, the reigns of Pacal the Great, Huayna Pacal, and Moctezuma I, have in common large scale public work projects. For Instance, Pacal was the King of the Mayans in the city of Palenque, next to Chiapas city in Southern Mexico. Palenque was a great city with magnificent buildings and public places like the ball game stadium, where many people gathered to attend the famous game. The Aztecs also had large scale work projects like the water channels called “Chinampas”, that crossed through the city of Tenochtitlan, the capital city of the Aztec Empire in times of Moctezuma.
