| summary |
At the beginning of the sixteenth century, the Aztec capital,
Tenochtitlan, was one of the world's largest cities. By 1521, the
Spaniards under Hernan Cortes had destroyed both the Empire
and the city. Tenochtitlan was razed to its foundations and Mexico
City was built on top of it (Matos, 1993). This paper discusses the process for developing digital
interpretations of the Teocalli or Ceremonial Precinct of
Tenochtitlan based on historical, iconographical, and
archaeological materials. To this end, digital models were
constructed by taking into consideration Aztec
archaeoastronomical principles and measuring systems. The result is an interactive view of the Ceremonial
Precinct, perhaps the most comprehensive since Tenochtitlan was destroyed more than 500 years ago. This
project has been recently published on CD-ROM. |
