Compared to European cities of the time Tenochtitlan was a very large city. Population estimates vary from 212,000 to 350,00 making it one of the very largest of it's day.

The city was well organized, with many squares where markets were held and trading carried on. They were not a savage civilization as once thought. It was a planned city with specialized workers.

It is believed that they may have even gone as far north as what is now known as the southwestern United States.

The fall of Tenochtitlan was one of several turnings points for the Spaniards being able to maintain forces in Central America. Because the Spaniards were able to conquer Tenochtitlan (and later, other South American cities/countries), an entire culture slowly started to fade. The Spanish language and Spanish customs soon quickly became the prevailing language/culture in Central America. Not only that, but Christianity was introduced to the Natives.

Today, while many Indian Languages do exist, as the youth try to assimilate into the Spanish culture, they are slowly leaving that life behind them. In a few more generations, it is highly likely that many of these languages will be extinct and near-forgotten.

Before Tenochtitlan was founded, the Aztecs were a nomadic people whose religion stated that whenever they saw a golden eagle, perched atop a cactus and devouring a snake, they had to settle and build a 'great city'. They found such sign in a swampy, small island in Lake Texcoco. This prophecy was immortalized in the Mexican coat of arms.

Now, 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. Basically, such system requires building levees and then filling the reclaimed land with soil. Such system was also implemented - faster and with better technology, of course - by the Dutch people to reclaim land from the sea.
The wandering "Aztec" tribe saw a vision of an eagle on a cactus, and this was foretold to them that this sign would signal the place where they should settle and build their city on a "promised land".
