"Whenever we saw so many metropolitan areas and villages built-in water and other great cities on dried up land... we were surprised and said that it was like the enchantments they tell of in the star of Amadis, due to the great towers and properties rising from water and everything built of masonry. Plus some of our troops even asked whether the things that people saw weren't a dream... I do not learn how to describe it, viewing things even as we performed that had never been heard of or seen before, not dreamed about." - Bernal Díaz del Castillo Mexico City is not a new place. Mexico City instead has much in keeping with metropolitan areas like London, Delhi or Cairo in the East in that it is an ancient city dating back centuries prior to the entrance of Colombus in Hispañola. For, while much (like the name) has improved, Mexico City is the mighty Tenochtitlan, capital of the Aztec Empire and the great American metropolis of the Spanish Empire. There has been no break in occupation, and despite much devastation, the city was never totally destroyed. From the moment Spanish conquistador Hernan Cortés first found and confronted them, the Aztecs have fascinated the world. Almost 500 years after the Spanish conquered their mighty empire, the Aztecs tend to be remembered today for their major capital, Tenochtitlan, as well as being brutal conquerors of the Valley of Mexico who often involved in real human sacrifice rituals. Despite the fact that the Aztecs continue steadily to interest people across the world hundreds of years after their demise, they have dropped on archaeologists and historians to attempt to determine the real background, culture, and lives of the Aztecs right from the start to the finish, relying on excavations, principal accounts, and much more.
