Here is another update about the biggest and most advanced city in the 15th century. That's right, we're talking about Tenochtitlan!
If you missed the previous posts about it, here they are: #1, #2
The city had a wonderful and well-planned tangle of streets and canals that gave it a mystical (and functional) look.
The streets of Tenochtitlan had sidewalks of rammed earth* for human transit, and some of them had adjacent canals for the transit of canoes that transported and commercialized a lot of different products.
The first main street (and the most used for commercial purposes) was Tlalpan, built by the Xochimilcas as an act of tribute to the Mexica; it started in Xochimilco and ended in Tenochtitlan.
Can you imagine walking through these streets on your way to the great temple? This is a work in progress, and we would love to hear your opinions about the renders! Let us know in the comments!
*Rammed earth is a technique for constructing foundations, floors, and walls using natural raw materials such as earth, chalk, lime, or gravel
