    The Incas developed advanced scientific and technological ideas and tools to support their civilization, including roads paved with stones, earthquake-resistant stone buildings, sophisticated irrigation systems, a 12-month calendar aligned with religious festivals and planting seasons, the first suspension bridges, a knotted rope recording system, and finely crafted textiles. Similarly, the Aztecs made substantial contributions including mandatory universal education, cultivating and using cacao beans to make chocolate, herbal antispasmodic medications, intensive chinampa agriculture using canals, a calendar to plan activities and planting, and inventing canoes.

    The Inca civilization is also famous in

    Mesoamerica. The Incas made advanced


    scientific ideas considering their
    limitation as an old civilization. The
    following were scientific ideas and tools
    that they developed to help them in
    everyday life:
    1.Roads paved with stones;
    2.Stone building that surmounted earthquakes and
    other disasters;
    3.Irrigation system and technique for storing water
    for their crops to grow in all types of land;

    festivals and prepare them for planting season;
    5.The first suspension bridge;
    6.Quipo, a system knotted ropes to keep records
    that only experts can interpret and;
    7.Inca textiles since cloth was one of the specially
    prized artistic achievements,
    Following the Inca, the Aztec civilization has also
    made substantial contributions to science and
    technology and to the society as a whole. Some of
    their contributions are the following:
    1. Mandatory education. The Aztec puts value on
    education; that is why their children are mandated
    to get education regardless of their social class,
    gender, or age. It is an early form of universal or
    inclusive education.
    2. Chocolates. The Aztec in Mexico developed
    chocolate during their time. In the Mayan culture,
    they use it as currency. The Aztec valued the cacao
    beans highly and made it as a part of their tribute
    to their gods.
    3. Antispasmodic medication. They used a type
    of antispasmodic medication that could prevent
    muscle spasm and relax muscles, which could help
    during surgery.
    4. Chinampa. It is a form of Aztec technology for
    agriculture farming in which the land was divided
    into rectangular areas and surrounded by canals.
    5. Aztec calendar. This enabled them to plan their
    activities, rituals, and planting season.
    6. Inventions of the canoe. A light narrow boat
    used for traveling in water systems.
