Por favor, siéntase libre de preguntar sobre detalles y / o fotografías adicionales. . Después del año 1000 DC, las ciudades estado mexicanas estaban constantemente en guerra entre ellas. Algunos alcanzaron un alto nivel de sofisticación, pero otros fueron golpeados por la pobreza y su gente aún usaba pieles y cazaba con arcos y flechas. Entre estos últimos estaban los antepasados de los aztecas. Fue en 1168 que los líderes de esta pequeña ciudad-estado llegaron a un templo en ruinas donde escucharon un mensaje de un dios patrono, Huitzilopochtli (Weet-zeel-oh-póhsh-tlee), del pájaro del zumbido azul del sur, como el el brillante dios del sol estaba en el cenit de su camino en el cielo. Huitzilopochtli era el dios de la guerra, la fuerza, el poder, la acción, el logro y la nobleza. Su dios envió a los aztecas en una peregrinación que duró casi un siglo. Huitzilopochtli les prometió que algún día encontrarían una isla en un lago con una roca en la que habría un cactus.

Mataron a todos los enemigos que vieron porque no traían a los prisioneros para ser sacrificados a los dioses de su gobernante opresivo en Colhuacan. En su lugar, le cortaron una oreja a cada víctima y las pusieron en paquetes sobre sus espaldas. Cuando el rey los recriminó como cobardes que no podían capturar prisioneros por sus dioses, silenciosamente vertieron un torrente de orejas humanas sobre sus pies. El rey estaba conmocionado y asustado. Despidió a los aztecas y les dijo que podían establecerse libremente en un islote en el lago de México. Así que se dirigieron al islote rocoso entre los pantanos donde su líder encontró un arroyo junto a una roca, y en la roca estaban el cactus y el brillante águila de Huitzilopochtli. Su larga peregrinación había terminado. El año era 1325. Allí, los aztecas fundaron la ciudad de Tenochtitlan, el corazón del imperio azteca. En excepcionalmente buenas condiciones.…
