The history of Mexico Tenochtitlan

The narration about the origin of the arrival of the Aztecs to the place where they founded their city is divided between a historical and mythical story, this because it was reconstructed from real events that, when transcribed, "transformed" or " they trans-functionalized”, this even before the arrival of the Spaniards, it is enough to remember that the tlatoani Itzcóatl, by defeating the Tepanecas and conquering the city of Azcapotzalco, carried out a process of interpretation of the history of the Mexicas by destroying and burn the old documents in order to write the new history of the origin and arrival of the Mexica in Tenochtitlan, even Hernando de Alvarado Tezozómoc considered that with the conquest of Itzcóatl over Azcapotzalco, Mexico-Tenochtitlan was born.

As such, it can be pointed out that the emergence of Tenochtitlan began with the migration process of the Chichimeca Aztecs, who received that name for inhabiting the land of Aztlán, where they worshiped Huitzilopochtli, a deity that would guide them to a new place.
