I am so sad that this lake city marvel couldn’t be witnessed in person. Ugh the architectural beauty alone really makes me drool...
-
Had Tenochtitlan been allowed to exist, it would've been one of the ancient wonders of the ancient world. I would've loved to seen the city intact. If I had a time machine.

"Tenochtitlán, a city that comes out from a dream which is bigger than Constantinople and prettier than Venice" -Bernal Díaz Del Castillo, conqueror and explorer.

As a kid learning history, my imagination was completely captured by the Aztecs/Mexica. One of the things I fantasized about most was being able to see Tenochtilan at its zenith. You did a nice job of showing what it must have been like. Keep up the good work!
-
To put things in perspective, that entire lake is now completely drained and replaced by a city.
-
Please keep going on this tract - there are a great many jewels of cities that are passed over for the usual stuff we get in Europe or China or India - please, keep going with this, it's awesome!

Iam Pueblo native american from Laguna New Mexico. I found this very interesting. Thank you.

As a Mexican passionate about the History of Mexico City (formerly Tenochtitlan) this is the most accurate video I have ever seen. The drawings and 3D schemes are as perfect as they can be. Fantastic job !!!!!!!!!!!
-
You're telling me that two islands a few hundred metres apart had their own rulers with their own separate lineages, and separate cultural identities...? Woah, history is cool sometimes.
-
Teotihuacan, Machu Pichu, Monte Alban, Cuzco, Tzintzuntzan... yeah prehispanic people weren't just a bunch of jungle people. Thanks for showing interest in the prehispanic civilizations.

I would love to see the game series of Assassin's Creed set in this time period, especially the interesting history of the Aztec and the beauty of the city of Tenochtitlan and other surrounding places.

I was born in Mexico City and I lived in Tlatelolco several years, when I open the curtains in my room window i watched the tlatelolcan ruins, the church and plaza 3 cultures, it's very weird to stay close to those stones, you can still feel the energy from our ancestors and the blood that was spilled on them, i definitely love Aztecs, they are in my heart
-
Such a shame these beautiful places were destroyed. Edit: I'm not sure what triggered all the replies underneath my comment. I was simply remarking that tenochtitlan was a great city and it's sad it's no longer there. Do I know that the aztecs sacrificed people yes of course was that wrong yes. But I was talking about the city. Its architecture and such.
-
I like how their buildings and architecture matched their fashion in design and colors. So pretty
-
The Aztec capital was certainly most impressive back in the day. A shame we don't know more about this incredible city.
-
I had NO idea they geoengineered like this!! This is amazing!! Thank you for posting this vid.
-
I wish we could time travel and see these places.
-
Imagine, when VR gets good enough, we might be able to revisit cities of the past, such as these...
-
The History Channel would say it was built by aliens.
