A 3D recreation of the capital of the Aztec empire, with comparisons with modern day Mexico City.
These renderings are so amazing and accurate.
I spent a lot of time at Templo Mayor, and I always wondered how things would have looked like. This is how getting in a Time Machine and traveling to the past must feel like.
Every time I traveled to Mexico City from Veracruz, I wondered how it must have been for the first Spaniards to encounter such a city for the first time. Now I know.
Absolutely mesmerizing. And the overlays with the city finally helped me understand how the city could have grown on top of the lake.
Thanks for posting!
Xochimilco is a must go if you visit CDMX. There you can find some of the last existing chinampas - floating islands of arable land built on top of the lake bed.
It’s unimaginable how complex and built up Tenochtitlan must have been back in its heyday.
It was larger than any of the European capitals in its day.
This is wonderful, thank you
