There was a warrior God that told the Aztecs to move to a land where an eagle was eating a serpent. The land happend to be in the Yucatan peninsula which was at the time all water. They built the land on the water because they had seen an eagle chewing a serpent in the water on top of a cactus as signified in today's Mexican flag.
