| The scene corresponds to the exact moment in which the Teomamaque of the Aztec tribe identify the place in which they must found their great city. Tenochtitlan (the place of the nopal cactus on a stone) was the place in which the Aztec Sun and War God, Huitzilopochtli ordered them to do so. The foundation of Tenochtitlan dates to 1325 A.D. | ||
