We are referring to important prehispanic civilizations in America and South America.

The Aztecs were one of the most important civilizations in Mesoamerica. They had its capital city in the great Tenochtitlan(nowadays Mexico City). They were fierce warriors that established a tribute empire where neighborhood tribes had to pay tribute for protection. This tribute was for the Emperor. The Aztecs also had human sacrifices at the top of its two most important pyramids in Tenochtitlan.

The Mayas was another great prehispanic civilization that inhabited the territories of the Yucatan Peninsula and Chiapas state in Southeast Mexico, as well as Belize and Guatemala. They were great astronomers. Nobody knows the exact reason for why and how they disappeared. The Incas was the great civilization in South America that built the wonderful city of Machu Pichu, in Peru. They were great farmers and chose rulers through a system of heredity.

after a more than a decade and a half of combating al qaeda (aq) in afghanistan and pakistan,

the united states faces a diverse array of threats from al qaeda affiliates in the middle east and

africa. while senior al qaeda figures reportedly remain based in pakistan, the network includes

a number of affiliates across the middle east and africa including al qaeda in the arabian

peninsula (aqap), al qaeda in the islamic maghreb (aqim), and al shabaab. al qaeda also

retains a small but possibly growing presence in afghanistan. u.s. officials have stated that al

qaeda still maintains a foothold in syria through its ties to hay’at tahrir al sham (formerly

known as the nusra front), though the exact nature of that relationship may be evolving. this

report examines the threat posed by al qaeda affiliates in the middle east and africa as described

by u.s. officials and outside observers, as well as the u.s. approach to date in responding to these

threats. this was all i could find hope this : )
