Tenochtitlan Magnets
Description: The coat of arms depicts a Mexican golden eagle perched on a prickly pear cactus devouring a rattlesnake. To the people of Tenochtitlan this would have strong religious connotations, but to the Europeans, it would come to symbolize the triumph of good over evil (with the snake sometimes representative of the serpent in the Garden of Eden).
Description: This illustration reconstructs the layout of the Aztec capital, highlighting its distinctive combination of artificial islands, causeways, and the sacred precinct surrounding the Templo Mayor. I have also included labels and cross-sections to explain the architectural and agricultural systems, such as chinampas, that were essential to the city's design.
Description: A proud and powerful design inspired by the founding myth of Mexico: The majestic eagle on the cactus, symbol of the founding of Tenochtitlan, stands at the center with the colors of the Mexican flag. Featuring the inspiring phrase “Where Legends Rise”. This design honors Aztec history, national pride, and the legend that made Mexico what it is today. Perfect for everyone who wants to celebrate Mexican heritage, Aztec culture, and national pride.
