There is a legend behind the origin of the Mexican Flag. It is said that the Aztecs were told by the gods to abandon their settlement, and to travel until they gave the Aztecs a sign. One day, a couple of Aztecs saw a bald eagle perched on a cactus, holding a serpent in its mouth. When it flew away, they took this as a sign from the gods, and settled there, creating one of the most powerful empires in the Americas, at that time. Today, that exact site is now the capital of Mexico.
