The great city of the Aztec was built on land reclaimed from the lake. It was called Tenochtitlan.
If you have already studied life in ancient Rome, you may like to compare life in Tenochtitlan with life in Rome. Like Rome, Tenochtitlan was where almost all the Mexica, the founders and rulers of the Aztec empire, lived.
Like Rome, the Maya and Aztec had grand buildings and sewage and water systems.
