Question

Use this image to answer the following question:






What inference about the Aztec view of time can be made based on this image?

Certain days were set aside to observe religious holidays.
Time is finite and has a definite beginning and ending point.
Time had no end because it is a repeating cycle.
Certain days were deemed more important than others.

Answer 1

-Time had no end because it is a repeating cycle.

Although this isn't true as proved today, I believe this belief is what the Aztec's view of time was and can be inferred by this picture.

Hope this Helps!

Answer 2

The correct answer is: Time had no end because it is a repeating cycle.

In the image, we can see the Aztec Sun Stone, the Aztec calendar. At the center of the disc there is the Solar god Tonatiuh and around it, there are four squares that represent the four solar periods previous to the current period of time. The entire Sun Stone represents a cyclic vision of time, which consists in periods of years that tend to repeat one after other.
