Today we present to you the incredible work that our 3D artists, lead by our talented artist Josharts3d, are doing in recreating the Great Tenochtitlan.
The faithful recreation of this place will be of utmost importance since Tenochtitlan was the center of the Aztec universe.
Just in its Great Plaza were over 80 buildings between temples, altars, warrior rooms, the Calmecac, palaces and other structures.
The residences of the nobility and administrative buildings were organized around squares or open spaces, connected by roads and canals. Artisans and peasants organized themselves into neighborhoods or Calpullis. According to Roger Bartra's calculations, the population was around 700,000.
This data is all the more impressive when thinking about the fact that the city was founded on an islet in Lake Texcoco, and that the Aztecs built artificial islands as villages that, as the settlement expanded, were eventually integrated into the city.
Would you like to climb to the top of the Templo Mayor and enjoy Great Tenochtitlan in all its splendor? Let us know in the comments!
It would help us immensely if you decide to sign up to our Kickstarter campaign.
In order to launch the campaign, we need at least 20k people to register to the page. It literally takes a minute to do so, but it would mean the world to us.
