The Mesoamerican civilizations such as the Teotihuacanos,Maya, Totonacs and Huastecs the proto-Aztecs became agriculturalists and achieved the same levels of technology as their neighbouring peoples. They held on to their language, much of their religious systems and probably aspects of their previous social customs, and the foundations of aztec society were developed as a synthesis between mesoamerican societies and aztec traditions, although today it cannot easily be discerned which parts come from where. Aztec society was not isolated from the larger mesoamerican context, and in fact most aspects of it were similar in structure to what existed in the surrounding societies.
