    “So far archeologist have found 139 offerings and more than 9,000 objects, including children’s skeletons, bones of marine fish, turtle shells…masks, musical instruments… and cotton textiles.”22 Archeologist even discovered what appeared to be a “…god of death statue… bathed with large quantities of blood from sacrificed people…”23 A reminder of gory rituals practiced by the Aztecs. What is interesting about some of the more obscure and less exciting items is not the items themselves but where they came from. Objects that were unearthed were found to have come from places such as the Gulf Coast, Guerrero24, and “…the modern states of New Mexico and Arizona.”25 This shows the extensive lengths that the Aztecs travelled for trade. Their power, influence and strength reached far beyond the boundaries of their capital in Tenochtitlan. Many of the more significant offerings and objects found at the temple are reminders of the importance of the two deities of the Templo Mayor to the Aztec people. Every layer of fill contained offerings to the gods, most of which were related to Huitzilopochtli and Tlaloc.26 Leonardo Lopez Lujan and Judy Levin believe that the arrangement of the offerings in the fill “… can tell us how the Aztec people understood the world and what they were trying to say to the gods through their…

    Based on the testimony of one witness, Max Elitcher, and evidence regarding his flight to Mexico, Sobell was convicted. On the advice of his attorney, who felt that the trip to Mexico would be difficult to explain, Sobell declined to testify at the trial. Because he was not accused of conspiring to disclose secrets regarding the atomic bomb, he was spared the death penalty and instead sentenced to thirty years in prison. After the Rosenbergs were executed, many involved in the campaign towin them clemency initiated an effort to clear Morton Sobell and have him released from prison. Although he was not exonerated, Sobell was released in January 1969 after serving more than seventeen years of his sentence.…

    Bernal Diaz Del Castillo

    • 1248 Words
    • 5 Pages

    As a conquistador under the command of Hernán Cortes, Bernal Diaz witnessed some of Latin America’s most interesting and least chronicled history. He was fortunate enough to be one of a select few Europeans to experience the Aztec empire at its height and to visit Tenochtitlan prior to its downfall. In an era where personal accounts of the historical occurrences are almost nonexistent, Bernal Diaz’s The True History of the Conquest of New Spain provides virtually the only window into this period. As a result, his text has become the most significant historical document concerning the Spanish conquest of Mexico. Perhaps the most poignant excerpt from The True History of the Conquest of New Spain is Diaz’s detailed description of his first impressions of the Aztec capital and emperor Montezuma.…

It was built over the ruins of the Aztec Empire (1325-1521), which was grounded on the lake Texcoco (UNESCO-WHC, 2014). The HCMC combines elements of pre-colonial, colonial and modern period. Currently, the area includes more than 1,600 monuments and historical buildings; this means the biggest concentration of architectural patrimony in Latin America (Mantecón, 2003 in Crossa, 2009). It includes the central plaza (the Zocalo), La Alameda Central, the Cathedral, the Palace of Fine Arts, and the National Palace (UNESCO-WHC, 2014) [Appendix 01].
