Who knows, they'd probably have a horse deity though or a God that rides horses like the Maya had.

The wheel is a pretty ineffective thing in the mountainous part of Mexico the Aztecs used to live in.

Fuck it, just imagine if the Portuguese had reached them first and made them into a gunpowder empire that relied on slave labor to mine silver to build more pyramids and trade for more guns

Well one of the horses Cortes left behind when he passed through Maya territories was taken in by the Itza's. Apparentely they decorated the horse with flowers and gave it meat to eat. The horse died and it was deified. Some Friar who's name escapes me now visited the Itza capital in the 1600s and reported seeing a horse statue of such a deity. They called it the Great Tapir I think.

Here we go, his name was Juan de Orbita.

> In the time since Cortés had visited Nojpetén, the Itza had made a statue of the deified horse. Juan de Orbita was outraged when he saw the idol and he immediately smashed it into pieces.
