Where is Dashavatar Vishnu temple located?
There is no such temple. We in Indias have only Sriram and Srikrishna temples mostly which were 7th and 8th avatar respectively. Matsya, Kurm , Varah, Nrusinh, Parshuram, are the first six avatars respectively. There is debate for 9th one- some say it is Balram, elder brother of Srikrishna in dvaparyug. But it is consired as Shesh-the serpant king on which Lord Vishnu rests with Srilaksmi. Some consider Budhha as the 9th avatar. The 10th avatar which lord Vishnu will take will be at the end of the Kaliyug, the time period in which we at this moment are living, so is yet to happen. ----

How long after the Aztecs settled in the valley of Mexico was the city of Tenochtitlan founded?
Before 1325 AD, the Aztec (or Mexicapeople, as they called themselves) were a nomadic tribe who wandered throughout the land, looking for a place to settle and build their capital. Their state religion awaited the fulfillment of an ancient prophecy: that the wandering tribe would find the destined site for a great city whose location would be signaled by an eagle eating a snake while perched atop a cactus.
The Aztecs saw this vision on what was then a small swampy island in the middle of lake Texcoco, after which they founded their capital city, on March 13, 1325. Not deterred by the unfavourable terrain, they set about building their city, using the chinampa system (misnamed as "floating gardens") for agriculture and to dry and expand the island. That city was Mexico-Tenochtitlan, now Mexico City (19° 25' 57.85'' N, 99° 07' 59.71'' W).

Can the Tuilerie building still be seen in Paris today?
== == Alas, no. The palais des Tuileries was one of the earliest parts of the Louvre to be built; it was the Royal residence when the King was brought back to Paris during the Revolution; it was napoleon's residence during the Empire, and used also by the restored Bourbons until 1830, the Orleanist monarchy until 1848, and by Napoleon III until 1870. Alas, in the disturbances of the Commune after the fall of the Second Empire and the Siege of Paris in 1870, the Palais des Tuileries was burned down.
