    Your question is fallacious. The Aztecs lived in the area around what is today Mexico City. The Mayans lived in the Yucatan peninsula, covering an area that is now part of Mexico, Guatemala, etc. There is no totally direct correspondence between the ancient territory of the peoples mentioned and today's geo-political states.

    Well I believe the area that the Maya civilisation occupied covers Belize, Guatemala, El Salvador, western Honduras, and parts of southern Mexico. As to which modern nationality you would relate that to... it is hard to say. The people of the modern south American nations are generally more closely related to the European settlers than the ancient civilisations that once existed there.

    I always assumed that they were just Mayan, and nothing else in the circumstances you have cited.
