Aztec culture

Japanese: アステカ文化 - あすてかぶんか
Aztec culture
The culture flourished from the 14th century until 1521, when it was conquered by the Spanish, with its capital in the center of what is now Mexico City, then called Tenochtitlan. The name Azteca means people of Aztlan, their legendary place of origin. However, the Aztecs later called themselves Mexica, meaning people who worship the god Meshitli. The present-day name of the country, Mexico, or Mexico, is derived from this name, and researchers generally refer to this culture as the Mexica culture.

Japanese:
テノチティトランと呼ばれた現在のメキシコ市の中心部に都を置き,14世紀からスペイン人によって征服された1521年まで栄えた文化。アステカAztecaとは彼らの伝説上の起源の地,〈アストランAztlan〉の人を意味する。しかし,アステカ族はのちに,メシトリ神をあがめる人を意味する〈メシカMexica〉と称した。現在の国名メヒコまたはメキシコはこの名に由来しており,研究者の間では,この文化をメシカ文化と呼ぶ方が一般的である。
