NOTE

The Layout and Organization of Tenochtitlan

Tenochtitlan, unlike ancient European cities, is a modern American-like city with grid systems. It doesn't have shopping malls but has floating gardens. It is more uniform and regimented with different neighborhoods and officials. Going against societal expectations is unthinkable. The market at Clattalolco is well-regulated. It offers unique items like chocolate, spices, chilies, and feathers. The city reflects a powerful state regimentation in a Bronze Age civilization.
