Introduction
Many years ago, it is said that the god of sun and war instructed the people of a valley in what's now mexico's capital to build a new city wherever they saw an eagle perched on a cactus eating a snake. They searched and searched, until finally they came across that eagle on an island in the middle of a lake. And it was there they built the floating city tenoctia. Over the next hundred and 75 years, this city grew, becoming an economic and political power house. By the year 15 hundred, tentitlan was the beating heart of a great civilization, the aztec Empire.
