The Mexica did not arrive in an empty world. Before Tenochtitlan rose from the lake, the Basin of Mexico was already packed with old cities, ruined pyramids, dynastic claims, hostile shore towns, sacred hills, tribute routes, wetland fields, salt water, fresh springs, and memories that could still make or break a ruler. Teotihuacan stood in ruin. Tula survived as a political name. Culhuacan carried old prestige. Azcapotzalco held power. Texcoco watched the eastern waters. Into this crowded, dangerous basin came a people whose origin was remembered through Aztlan, migration, divine command, hardship, service, and humiliation. The Aztec World: From Aztlan to Tenochtitlan follows that rise without stripping away the pressure of the ground beneath it. This is the story of a lake city built where mud, reeds, salt water, flooding, and enemy towns made survival uncertain. It moves through painted migration records, foundation signs, royal marriages, Tepanec domination, the Triple Alliance, tribute lists, market life, canals, causeways, aqueducts, temple precincts, sacred warfare, imperial expansion, Spanish entry, siege, and the breaking of the island capital. Drawing on codices, Nahua histories, colonial chronicles, archaeology, temple excavation, tribute records, and the surviving geography of the Valley of Mexico, this book treats Tenochtitlan not as a sudden wonder, but as the most forceful answer to a basin that had been testing cities for centuries. The Mexica learned the valley s rules, then turned them into empire: water into defense, ancestry into authority, tribute into supply, ritual into command, and an island settlement into the capital of the Aztec world.

About the Author
Luke Reagan is a qualified historian with a lifelong devotion to the ancient cultures of Mesoamerica and the wider Americas, with particular studies in the Huastec, Zapotec, Teotihuacan, Toltec, Mixtec, and Aztec, or Mexica, worlds. His work is also shaped by an intense interest in Spanish history in the New World, especially the first encounters between Indigenous civilizations, explorers, chroniclers, soldiers, missionaries, and antiquarians. A lifelong collector of *National Geographic Magazine*, Reagan grew up with exploration, archaeology, and historical discovery as part of his intellectual environment, while his father and uncle were partly involved in the development of Lidar, the remote-sensing technology now used to reveal ancient landscapes, hidden settlements, and buried architectural systems.
Reagan's personal idols include Hiram Bingham, John Lloyd Stephens and Frederick Catherwood, and Percy Fawcett, explorers and antiquarians whose field accounts, drawings, controversies, ambitions, and obsessions helped bring ancient American sites into public imagination. His own interests follow that same line of inquiry, moving between ruins, archives, maps, expedition literature, colonial records, and the material remains of cultures too often reduced to footnotes. He comes from three generations of Reagans who fought for the rights of Native Americans in Texas and the wider region, giving his historical work a personal stake beyond scholarship alone. His mother's involvement in archaeoastronomy, especially at Chaco Canyon and Ancestral Puebloan sites, further shaped his interest in how ancient peoples read the sky, built sacred landscapes, and encoded cosmology into architecture.
Luke Reagan's work stands at the meeting point of historical research, exploration history, Indigenous cultural study, Spanish colonial history, archaeoastronomy, and the enduring mystery of ancient American civilizations.

Revocation right for consumers
(A ‘consumer' is any natural person who concludes a legal transaction which, to an overwhelming extent, cannot be attributed to either his commercial or independent professional activities.)
Instructions for revocation
Revocation right
You have the right to revoke this contract within 14 days without specifying any reasons.
The revocation period is 14 days with effect from the day,
-
on which you or a third party nominated by you, which is not the carrier, had taken possession of the products, provided you had ordered one or more products within the scope of a standard order and this/these product/products is/are delivered uniformly;
-
on which you or a third party nominated by you, which is not the carrier, had taken possession of the last product, provided you had ordered several products within the scope of a standard order and these products are delivered separately;
-
on which you or a third party nominated by you, which is not the carrier, had taken possession of the last part delivery or the last unit, provided you had ordered a product, which is delivered in several part deliveries or units;
To exercise your right of withdrawal, you must inform us (preigu GmbH & Co. KG, Lengericher Landstr. 19, 49078 Osnabrück, Telephone number: +49 (0) 541 / 580 72 84, E-Mail address: mail@preigu.de) by means of a clear declaration (e.g. a letter sent by post, or an e-mail) of your decision to withdraw from this contract. You can use the attached model withdrawal form for this purpose, which is, however, not mandatory.
You can also exercise your right of withdrawal online by clicking on a button labelled accordingly (such as ‘Withdraw from contract' or similar) on the AbeBooks/ZVAB website. If you use this online function, you will immediately receive a confirmation of receipt on a durable medium (e.g. via email) containing information on the content of the withdrawal notice, as well as the date and time of its receipt.
In order to safeguard the revocation period, it is sufficient that you send the notification about the exercise of the revocation right before the expiry of the revocation period.
Consequences of the revocation
If you revoke this contract, we shall repay all the payments, which we received from you, including the delivery costs (with the exception of additional costs, which arise from that fact that you selected a form of delivery other than the most reasonable standard delivery offered by us), immediately and at the latest within 14 days from the day on which we received the notification about the revocation of this contract from you. We use the same means of payment, which you had originally used during the original transaction, for this repayment unless expressly agreed otherwise with you; you will not be charged any fees owing to this repayment.
We can refuse the repayment until the products are returned to us or until you have furnished evidence that you have sent the products back to us, depending on whichever is earlier.
You must return or transfer the products to us immediately and, in any case, at the latest within 14 days with effect from the day on which you inform us of the revocation of this contract. The deadline is maintained if you send the products before the expiry of the 14 day deadline.
You bear the direct costs for returning the products.
You must pay for any depreciation of the products only if this depreciation can be attributed to any handling with you that was not necessary for checking the condition, features and functionality of the products.
