Why does the city of Tenochtitlan no longer exist?
Tenochtitilan no longer exists because when Cortez invaded, he burnt it to the ground. The Spanish soon built Mexico City on top of it. Mexico City is one of the most crowded cities today.
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).
Why do memorials still stand today?
Memorials represent our history-- where we've been, what happened at a specific time, what is worthy of being remembered. Some memorials are inspiring, like the panoramic view of the faces on Mt. Rushmore; some are emotional, like the Vietnam War Memorial Wall. Not every memorial evokes the same reaction in each person who sees it, but in a culture that too often forgets, memorials are about keeping memory alive, and about knowing important aspects of who we are as a nation.

It was beneficial because the island kept them safe from there enemies that casted them to the area in the first place. Also they had the ability to make fertile land by digging up the mud from the lake floor. It was a hindrance because they had issues getting fresh water, but this changed when their empire grew because they built a form of aqueduct that reached the city.
