The Aztec myth was that when they found an eagle sitting on a cactus eating a snake, that was their promise land and where they would build their city. According to legend, they found that eagle near Lake Tenochtitlan and that is where they built their city. This is also why the the eagle on a cactus with a snake in its mouth is on the Mexican flag.
The coat of arms has: an eagle, holding a serpent in its talon, is perched on top of a prickly pear cactus; the cactus is situated on a rock that rises above a lake. The coat of arms is derived from an Aztec legend that their gods told them to build a city where they spot an eagle on a nopal (prickly pear) eating a serpent, which is now Mexico City.
The legend says that the Aztecs were a tribe that came from the northern part of Mexico (Aztlan). One of their gods (Huitzilopochtli) told them that they should build a city in the place where they found an eagle eating a snake, on top of a cactus. The Aztecs found this sign in the Lake of Texcoco. Therefore, they built their city on the top of the lake. Nowadays, Mexico City. This symbolism is kept in the flag.
The reason for this is that in legend, the Aztecs, who were the last ancient civilization of Mexico, were told by their gods and or goddesses to leave the spot where they were. They were told that when they see an eagle with a snake in its mouth land on a cactus on an island in a lake, that is where they should set up their new home. That place is now Mexico City. The picture on the flag represents this story.
