The Aztecs found their capital city, Tenochtitlán, by following a prophecy that instructed them to establish their city where they saw an eagle perched on a prickly pear cactus, devouring a snake. After a long migration from their ancestral homeland, they finally spotted this scene on an island in Lake Texcoco in 1325. This location provided strategic advantages, such as access to water and fertile land, allowing them to build a thriving city. Tenochtitlán eventually became the center of the Aztec Empire.
