ISBN: 9781554511402.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eImagine growing up in Mesoamerica before the Spanish Conquest (1350 – 1521). What does your future hold? The ancient Aztecs, Maya and other Mesoamericans believed that the gods created a world where everyone had a role to play. Some people were born to rule, others to serve. If you were lucky, you might have been a high priest or a queen. On the other hand, you could have ended up as a latrine boatman or a slave destined to become a sacrificial victim.\n\nFind out what it was like to be a tax collector (don’t try to keep any money for yourself; the penalty is death!) or a porter (only if you enjoy carrying heavy packs up mountains). Or perhaps you’d prefer building pyramids, raising dogs or being a royal cook (frog casserole with green chile, anyone?). Other jobs you might have held include:\n\n• Counterfeiter\n• Bell maker\n• Mosaic mask maker\n• Beekeeper\n\nFeaturing a fact-filled introduction, a timeline and humorous illustrations, this book offers a unique view of one of the most remarkable civilizations of all time.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Annick Press","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":45113580879925,"sku":"ByrdShop_1554511402","price":62.31,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0627\/8139\/0901\/files\/9781554511402_9b1289b5-b949-4fc1-830a-ae3752e58e38.jpg?v=1781092757","url":"https:\/\/atxbooks.com\/products\/ballplayers-and-bonesetters-one-hundred-ancient-aztec-and-maya-jobs-you-might-have-adored-or-abhorred-jobs-in-history-9781554511402","provider":"ATX Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
