💨 Abstract

Mexico City celebrated the 700th anniversary of its founding as Tenochtitlan, the Aztec capital. The event featured performances honoring Indigenous roots, including a reenactment of the city's founding and traditional dances. President Claudia Sheinbaum marked the occasion, emphasizing Mexico's rich pre-Spanish history. Tenochtitlan began as a small settlement and grew into a powerful city, eventually conquered by the Spanish in 1521.
