sswh8b: \it is said that when the sun was made, ... there was fasting for four days. it is said that the moon would be
the sun. and when four days were completed, it is said, the sun was made during the night ... a very great fire was laid
... into which was to leap, was to fall the moon—where he was to gain renown, glory by which he would become the
sun. and the moon thereupon went to leap into the fire. then all the gods shouted, they said: \when is this to be, o

Question

Accepted Answer

### First Question (SSWH8a: What people influenced the Maya?)
# Brief Explanations:
The Olmec civilization is considered a major influence on the Maya. The Olmec had developments in areas like agriculture, architecture, and religious practices that were later adopted or built upon by the Maya. The Zapotec, Inca, and Aztec either had different geographical contexts (Inca in South America, Aztec in later Mesoamerica) or less direct influence on the Maya compared to the Olmec.
# Answer:
D. Olmec (assuming the options are labeled A: Zapotec, B: Inca, C: Aztec, D: Olmec)

### Second Question (SSWH8a: What was one way that Aztec civilization differed from the Maya civilization?)
# Brief Explanations:
- Both the Maya and Aztec used calendars, so that's not a difference.
- Both civilizations believed in gods, so that's not a difference.
- The Maya had hieroglyphic writing systems, while the Aztec used a different writing system (pictographic and ideographic). The Aztec used chinampas (floating gardens) for farming, which was a distinct farming method not as prominent in Maya agriculture.
# Answer:
C. farming on chinampas (assuming the options are labeled A: use of calendars, B: belief in gods, C: farming on chinampas, D: hieroglyphic writing systems)

### Third Question (Interpretation of the passage about the sun and moon creation)
(Note: Since the question isn't fully stated, but based on the passage, it likely relates to Aztec mythology. The passage describes a creation myth where Nanahuatzin leaps into the fire to become the sun, which is part of Aztec (Mexica) creation stories, showing their religious beliefs about the creation of celestial bodies.)
# Brief Explanations:
The passage is an Aztec (Mexica) creation myth explaining how the sun (and potentially the moon) was created. It involves a deity (Nanahuatzin) leaping into a fire to become the sun, reflecting Aztec religious beliefs about the origin of celestial bodies and the role of sacrifice (in this case, a divine sacrifice) in creation.
# Answer:
(If the question is about the civilization or the myth's origin, the answer would relate to the Aztec/Mexica civilization and their creation mythology. For example, if asking "What civilization's myth is this?" the answer is Aztec (Mexica) mythology.)
