Popocatepetl Love Story
Tenochtitlan is an ancient city of Aztecs, a thriving city in the swamp sown in Mexico. Popocatepetl and Ixtaccihuatl is the story of 2 Aztecs people who are deep in love but Ixtaccihuatl father forbids it. The city is well built to withstand attacks from others but there is a warrior that will protect the city at all costs even to earn the respect from the girl he loves father. Popo will go on a mighty adventure to fight off incoming enemies only o find his girl to be missing. His city is safe but the one he loves is not.

Ixta was the kings daughter and the king wouldn't let her marry and Popo was a noble warrior. One day the king fell ill and needed the warriors to fight off the enemies and whoever was the most successful could marry the kings daughter. As you might expect Popo went off to fight but 3 jealous warriors said Popo had died. This made Ixta very upset and she became ill from sadness and died. When popo arrived back home (alive) he wished to marry Ixta but when he found out why she died popo hunted down the lier’s and killed them. Then Popo took the thrown.

Both these stories took place in Tenochtitlan telling how the city was protected. In Tenochtitlan they yelled what kind of defenses where built into the city. In the story of Popocatepetl and Ixtaccihuatl it told of a noble warrior who protected his city to marry the one he loved. These stories intertwine because Popo was trying to protect the city of Tenochtitlan.
The main difference is that one story is about and entire story and the other is about the fight to marry a girl who died at the end. The other important difference is that a city can’t go on an adventure like Popo, and a city doesn't feel love because it’s

    The land of Tenochtitlan, which is currently owned by the Spanish, known as Mexico City, was not always under the same empire. This land used to belong to the Aztecs but was taken over when the battle between the Spanish and Aztecs occurred. Though some would think that this conflict was avoidable, I believe otherwise. In my opinion, I believe that the conflict of the Aztecs was inevitable, because of the differing religions, the Aztec's resources, Spanish’s excellent technology, and the Aztec's population size.…

    On 13 August 1521 the Aztec capital, Tenochtitlan, had fallen to the Spanish conquistadors. Cortes and his followers had only landed in Mexico in April 1519. By the time of Cortes’ last departure form Spain in 1540; Mexico City had become a powerful colonial metropolis, the capital of a Spanish territory extending south into Central America and North to or beyond the Gulf of California. The campaign waged by Cortes was so successful that all ensuing campaigns were modelled upon the Aztec conquest. The question posed is how was the conquest of Mexico achieved in such a small space of time? It would seem unfeasible that a small army of soldiers could overcome thousands of Native Americans on their own soil; Tenochtitlan was a perfect location…

    When they arrived in Tenochtitlan, the residents were already resigned to their faith, knowing they were “about to die and perish, we are awaiting our deaths”. This reinforced the Spaniards’ perceived superiority, partly stemming from the esteem that the Mexica gave them. Tenochtitlan was known as the foundation of heaven, and the city itself was given a divine status. This inspired the Mexica to fight and defend something so great. Even the Spanish, when they first entered the city, were in awe as they gazed “on such wonderful sights, we did not know what to say, or whether what appeared before us was real,”. They compared the city of Tenochtitlan to European cities such as Venice. This was one of the first times that the Spanish saw the Mexica as civilized human beings that were similar to the Spanish and…

Teotihuacán gets its name from the Aztecs meaning “place for the Gods.” The ancient city thrived around 300-550 CE, but it began its era around 150 BCE and ended it in 600 CE spanning over 700 years. The city itself is about 30 miles from current day Mexico City. The city itself is over 20 square kilometers with a gridded layout and a walled exterior. The Avenue of the Dead outlines the length of the city, starting at the crop fields and pointing towards Cerro Gordo, a sacred mountain.
