The Aztec Empire was one of the great civilizations in the human calendar. According to an anecdote, the Aztecs built the capital Tenochtitlan involving an eagle and a cactus.
The Aztecs are one of the great civilizations in history. They dominated much of Central America from the 14th to 16th centuries. Like many ancient civilizations, an anecdote was circulated to decipher why the Aztec empire built its capital at Tenochtitlan. 
Specifically, an Aztec legend tells that, over the years, people traveled to many places in search of a place to build the capital. 
After some time, the Aztecs arrived in what is now Central Mexico. 
They worshiped the sun god Huitzilopochtli, so they held a sacrifice to get this god to show him the “golden” land to build the capital. 
During that ceremony, the high priest received instructions from the sun god Huitzilopochtli. 
According to this powerful god, the Aztecs built their capital where an eagle appeared on a cactus. 
Guided by the sun god Huitzilopochtli, the Aztec empire sent many people around in search of the land mentioned by the god. 
After a while of searching, the Aztecs also found a land where an eagle perched on a cactus. 
It was a land in the middle of Lake Texcoco. Accordingly, the Aztecs concentrated their resources and resources to build the capital. They named it Tenochtitlan. 
After many years, the Aztecs built palaces, houses, temples, roads… in the capital Tenochtitlan. Since then, this place has become the political, economic and cultural center of a powerful empire.
