The Aztecs arrive in the Valley Of Mexico after much wandering and fighting other tribes in the area for a place to settle. The Aztecs were told by one of their Gods, that they would know they had found their rightful home when they saw an eagle standing on a cactus, with a snake in its talon. After seeing this vision they set up their home and named it Tenochtitlan, That is now the image on the Mexican flag.
