Figure 1, 2, 3 2020-5-9, iEnglish push text, about the origin of the Mexican flag, that is, the Aztec tribe, defeated by other united small tribes, retreated to a desert island in the lake Lake Texcoco, they obeyed the wishes of the Bu people, on this desert island to find a place, there is an eagle with a snake on it, there are aquatic weeds and cactus balls underneath, the Aztec people really built a city in this place, a beautiful wisdom, The water city that can be compared with the Italian Venice Water City, there are aqueducts and canals in the water city, and there are bridges that can be lifted and disconnected, at that time, the water city and the surrounding areas accommodated a total of 200,000 residents, that is, a metropolis comparable to London in England and Paris in France, and the Spaniards were shocked when they first came here, and their jaws were about to fall off, which was the story of the thirteenth century. Later, the Spaniards invaded en masse, and in 1520, the religious totem of the water city building was different from their religious beliefs, and a fire destroyed the water city that had only existed for more than 200 years. Later, the lake also disappeared, and what is now Mexico City was developed on the site.
In the past two days, I have read a picture book about Aztec people, and I am a little excited.
The last painting, then a map of the tenochtitlan water city, now in the Mexican Museum of Humanity, in the mexican city, there is a barren land, that is, part of the ruins of the water city, which is the ruins park.
The Aztec are part of the Mesoamericans, whose culture is also very unique, war is their industry, can bring a large number of captives and treasures, brave soldiers, catch a prisoner, can reward a cloak or a spear, catch two prisoners, can wear shoes to the battlefield, catch multiple prisoners, you can wear all kinds of precious animal furs. Boys of all ranks will be instilled from an early age the idea that it is extremely glorious to die on the battlefield!
Their hierarchy is also very strict, and people at the bottom of society generally have no opportunity to counterattack the upper class, and they identify people of different ranks and do different things. Central America, Aztec people, Tenochtitlan Water city, Mexico City, triggered my endless curiosity, which may be the charm of reading iEnglish picture books!
