KAB Part Three (Chapter 12 in 1453) Background: The city of Tenochtitlan, constructed around 1320 AD by the Aztecs. It is the empire’s capital city with an estimated population of 300,000 people in 1450, the largest in all KAB.
Tenochtitlan was built on a series of islands on the western side of the shallow lake Texcoco. The city was connected to the mainland by bridges and causeways leading to the north, south, and west. The causeways were interrupted by bridges that allowed canoes and other water traffic to pass freely. The bridges could be pulled away, if necessary, to protect the city. The city was interlaced with a series of canals, so that all sections of the city could be visited either on foot or via canoe. In the center of the city were the public buildings, temples, and palaces. Inside a walled square, 500 meters (1,600 ft) to aside, was the ceremonial center. There were about 45 public buildings, including: the largest temple to Quetzalcoatl. The Sun Temple, which was dedicated to Tonatiuho was connected to the Eagle's House, which was associated with warriors and the ancient power of rulers; the platforms around it were used for the gladiatorial games and sacrificial ceremonies. Just outside city center was the palace of Moctezuma with 100 rooms, each with its own bath, for the lords and ambassadors of allies and conquered peoples.
