dec 28, 1324 - 1325 - Tenochtitlan (Aztecs)

Description:

During the late 13th century, the Aztecs (named after the legendary Aztlan from where they were supposed to have come) arrived to fill in the vacuum in the Basin of Mexico. In 1325 they founded the city of Tenochtitlàn. By the time Spain invaded Mexico in 1519, the Aztecs had already build a very complex and intricate system of roads with rest stops every ten miles or so, and their population was estimated to be around 5 million people.
