La
bandera de Mexico, the flag of Mexico, contains ancient imagery based
on Aztec culture of an eagle with a snake in it's mouth perched on a
cactus. While searching for a homeland, the deity Huitzilopochtli
and his followers discovered a spring that ran two streams of water.
One stream was red as blood and the other bright blue and thick. Huitzilopochtli and his followers also discover a large eagle
perched on a prickly pear cactus grasping a snake in it's talons. Huitzilopochtli
sees this as a sign to build the city of Tenochtitlan. The ancient city
of Tenochtitlan is now the capital of Mexico, Mexico City.
