Games and sports were an important component of the Aztec culture. Beyond providing the Aztecs with a means of entertainment and activity, ancient Aztec games had a religious meaning and were often played as a part of their ritualistic ceremonies or during sacrifice.eyond providing the Aztecs with a means of entertainment and activity, ancient Aztec games had a religious meaning and were often played as a part of their ritualistic ceremonies or during sacrifice.
Pablo Neruda (1904-1973), whose real name is NeftalÃÂ­ Ricardo Reyes Basoalto, was born on 12 July, 1904, in the town of Parral in Chile. His father was a railway employee and his mother, who died shortly after his birth, a teacher. Some years later his father, who had then moved to the town of Temuco, remarried doÃÂ±a Trinidad Candia Malverde.
Neruda called his coastal chateau Isla Negra. It isnât on an island, and the house is painted blue, but Neruda gave the place this name because of its black rocks and because, for him, it was an isle of isolated calm. He lived there, off and on, from 1937 until his death in 1973.
