After the Mexican (Aztec) not able to appreciate a temple huitzilopochtli build on the island of Tenochtitlan they were established, were not. At the beginning, because the lack of stone, they built them with sticks and hay. Then in the times of the Chimalpopoca they had access to rock, but it was not into the reign from Tizoc that the temple acquired, the vision of the glory, huitzilopochtli colors, on the bases that Moctezuma protected. Finally the next large loudspeakers are Ahuitzotl, surfaces and the inagurates temple in the year 1487...
Aztec Templo Mayor (larger temples): After the temple is finished, Ahuitzotl together with the allied loudspeaker and the aristocracy these realms. Even if the number of the visitors and the number of humans are sacrificed exaggerated, exists no doubt, this was the clearest event in the history of the Aztecs. The celebration took four days, in which time all prisoners, since four years by wars imprisoned one took (after the Aztecs were sacrificed four cities) stood at the point of the temple sacrificed. The prisoners were made, in order in the lines stand for their death to wait. So many were sacrificed humans, thus the people not all the meat, which they got eat could. The large temple of the Aztecs or HUEY Teocalli is certainly one of the largest treasures always lost. There is nothing more that the position of the temples was, up to few ruins, which say us, a little or a nothing at all over its greatnes. How was the archaeological jewel in the reality? There are several writings, which the Spaniard conquerer us leaves. We have to thank that it was a custom of the conquerers a writer, who describes all their realizations would bring.

As of Bernal Diaz: " … we left at the large place more without it to see and we have the large terraces and fences, where the large cu (Teocalli) it is, and it was a large circle of terraces, before one seemed more there to be than the numerous on the place o Salamanca, and with two fences around it, white getüncht, and the yard and the area around it with large white polished stones gefleckten were, and where it was not stones, everything white getüncht and in such a way polished that none did not find us a stick or a dust on it at all. And there we came in the proximity of the large cu, before we a step rose the large Moctezuma from there above, where they bring victims, six DADS and two PRINCIPALES (priest) to accompany our captain, and into the process of climbing the steps, 114 wanted to hold altogether, them him at the arms, thought he tiredly, as them helped for her Mr. Moctezuma, Cortes, but to want that them him aproach .And then it took it at hand (Moctezuma) and requested it, on its large town center look and all the other cities, those on the water was and in many other cities, which were round around the lake of the same name, on the country; and if we had not no more seen its large place, which from here above he could see, very well, and so we stood to search, because from the large temple and that was condemned so largely that he could boast everything completely well… " We have Fray Bernardo de Sahagún writings in the same way.

It with large patience sat with the informant and permitted them, what they tell to pull. Then they are described, what them drawn. Contrary to the description Bernal (the description of of the typical tourists, around whom explanation its that he sees, goes without the description that, which knows). After Sahagún, in its second book, gave it 78 buildings, which Templo Mayor, which speak with 25 piramids, 5 resounding, the house of the Fastens, four QUAUHXICALLI (dishes, over the hearts of humans sacrificed place), one TECCALCO (steped temples), 7 Tzompantli (structures, on those the heads of the victims indicated), 2 Tlachtli (fields for the ball play), one well and three baths, two NETLATILOYAN (cellars, where the skins of sacrificed humans were held), a building for the dances, nine priests of houses, prisons for the Gods of humans conquers, arsenals, business and other more . In another manuscript Sahagún' s, (in the library of the Madrider palace), which were not treated, with the other writings translated, are counted 15 architectural structures, under the title: In tlein ITOTOCA CATCA ICECECNI TLACATECOLOCALCO or THESE ARE the NAMES of the HOUSES of the different assistants, who were identified on the design beside the letter, after the letters that it indicated
