Detailed explanation-1: -Chinampas were invented by the Aztec civilization. Sometimes referred to as “floating gardens, ” chinampas are artificial islands that were created by interweaving reeds with stakes beneath the lake’s surface, creating underwater fences.
Detailed explanation-2: -Huitzilopochtli directed them to build where they saw an eagle perched on a cactus, eating a snake. When they saw this exact scene on an island (located in what was once Lake Texcoco), they interpreted it as a sign from their god and founded Tenochtitlan on that island.
Detailed explanation-3: -Most of the construction in Tenochtitlan took place during the reigns of four Aztec kings beginning in the 1470s. Built largely upon land reclaimed from Lake Texcoco, the city was laid out on a grid, inspired by the still visible ruins of the ancient city of Teotihuacan of a thousand years earlier.
Detailed explanation-4: -The Aztecs began construction of Templo Mayor sometime after 1325, and the temple was rebuilt six times.
