Below the towering skyscrapers of Mexico City lie the ruins of Tenochtitlán, the ancient capital of the Mexica (Aztec) Empire. As depicted on the Mexican national flag, this was the sight where the Mexica witnessed the prophesized legend of their patron deity, Huitzilopochtli, where an eagle would devour a snake atop a nopal (cactus). In this episode, we dive deeply into the history of the Anáhuac (Valley of Mexico) and its early inhabitants, who cultivated it into the largest metropolis of Mesoamerica.
