Brilliant as it was cruel, the Aztec sun shone over ancient Mexico only briefly before being eclipsed by events of history. The mighty Aztecs grew from a wandering, desperate band calling themselves Mexica, who first appeared were considered barbarians by the settled peoples of the vally and forced out to the marshy islets of Lake Texcoco. Undaunted by hardship, the Mexica named their new home Tenochtitlan and mad it the hub of an empire.
