Aztec Ruins in Mexico City

<p>Felicia and I are in Mexico City exploring historic sites. This post is largely based on our visit to Aztec civilization ruins and artifacts at Templo Mayor in the Zocalo district and the National Museum of Anthropology in Chapultepec. Templo Mayor was a sacred compound in the Mexica or Aztec capital of Tenochtitlan before it was destroyed by Spanish conquistadors under the command of Hernando Cortes in 1517. Tree rings from the remnants of an oak tree were used to help date the site. The ruins were rediscovered in 1978 and excavations have uncovered much of the compound. The site includes a museum that explains the history of the Templo Mayor and contains artifacts recovered from the site.
