“Was this a shrine?” Kay’s mom
asks.
“Yes,” says Mister Gomez. “This was
a shrine to a snake god. That one there
was a shrine to the sun god. And that
one was a shrine to the moon god .”
“Were they Aztec shrines?” Martez
asks.
“Sort of,” Mister Gomez says. “The
Aztecs came after. The shrines were
set up way back in the past. But the
Aztecs came here and added to the
shrines. This was an important place
for them. They came here to offer gifts
to their gods .”
