| Summary: | Based on the information provided by the XVI century sources, as well as the data from archaeological studies, the aim of this work is to propose that the fall of the first Triple Alliance and the beginning of the migrations, among them the Mexicas’ migration, happened in the context of a great flood that affected the Basin of Mexico for around a century. In this context, we suggest that the city of Aztlan was located in the very place where was later founded the city of MexicoTenochtitlan and that Teocolhuacan was located where was established, after the flood, the pre-Hispanic city of Iztapalapa. |
