The food in a market in Tenochtitlan!
The food in a market in Tenochtitlan! Today was awesome I woke up to day 16 of my journey in the Aztecs for sad I only have a week left so I tried to make today worth it, outside my hotel is a massive i mean biggest market I've ever seen before I've been dyeing to go but hadn't had enough time but today is the day today I go to the famous market named Tlatelolco the market is the most important thing in Aztec economy foods and goods were sold there.

The water goddess was the wife of the rain god Tlaloc. Chalchiuhtlicue presided over the fourth sun or the fourth creation of the world Chalchiuhtlicue retaliated against Tlaloc's mistreatment of her by releasing 52 years of rain, causing a giant flood which caused the Fourth Sun to be destroyed immediately. in the 16th century the Aztecs stared carving Chalchiuhtlicue sculptures and the sculpture was kept in the emperors building. Now I think it would be a great idea to do some research on why Chalchiuhtlicue was so important and another great one is why was Chalchiuhtlicue so against Tlaloc's...
