Recently in my history class we studied the Aztec indians. We talked about the fact that to this day, no one knows how such an ancient people could
have consructed such amazing feats of architecture as they did, like their pyramids, the fact that they had heiroglyphics that have still not been
deciphered, that their artwork depicted figures in what appeared to be spaceships, the fact that their religion encouraged human sacrifice, and
finally, the fact that still today, large lizards exist in huge number, a species of which is confined mainly to that region. To me, this all added up
amazingly simply and I couldn't believe I hadn't heard of it before. So here's what I came up with:
What you should have come up with is "the teacher doesn't know much about the subject and needs to read some archaeology instead of speculative
nonsense."
Apparently the teacher didn't bother to check and see that the Aztec empire was only around from about 1300 to the time when the Spaniards came
through (about 250 years).

Your teacher is appallingly ignorant of the fact that the Spanish priests were instrumental in recording what we do know and that some of them wrote
down quite a bit about what the people did and believed. That the priests were the first translators of the sacred books (the Codexes.)
Your teacher is getting the Aztecs and Maya and Olmecs mixed up (and this is even worse.) Pacal (whose tomb Von Danniken used a PARTIAL image of in
his "spaceship' claim) is Mayan. Not Aztec. That's a very stupid and unprofessional mistake for a teacher and an indication that your teacher's
knowledge is very poor quality. There's hieroglyphics on Pacal's tomb (which Von Danniken never shows because it destroys his case) that say what
the image is and what's happening to Pacal (falling down the tree of the world to the underworld.)
As to lizards, you're off the mark. The largest lizards are the komodo dragons of the South Pacific, a long way from Mexico and Central America.
The lizards of the area (with the exception of some marine lizards) don't grow much larger than a foot or two.
The temples are often a succession of builds, starting with a tiny pyramid that (decades later) gets "remodeled" by adding layers and turning it
into a larger pyramid. Shame on your teacher for not explaining that.
They left the heiroglyphics, explaining why we can't decipher them,
Your teacher's ignorance is abysmal. If we "can't decypher them" then how do we know there's an explaination? In fact, they're very
translatable.
similary to those on the roswell spacecraft, and also the art with the spaceship. When they sacrificed a member of the tribe, that person was
abducted and taken by the reptoids,
Your teacher really didn't bother to read anything. The reason they sacrificed is because the sun god sacrificed himself to keep the world alive.
The Western world has known this ever since the first contact with the Aztecs.
and finally the reason for the lizards: They are under-developed, partially-adapted reptoid offspring left on earth and lacking the environmnet
needed for their species to flourish into what we know as reptoid aliens.
Uhm... not even close. We know their bloodline and a lot of their evolutionary history. They're not alien. They're descended from the mososaurs
and precursors fo the Cambrian era.
