Brief Bio

The Templo Mayor, located in the heart of Tenochtitlan (modern-day Mexico City), was the most important temple in the Aztec empire. It was dedicated to two principal deities: Huitzilopochtli, the god of war and the sun, and Tlaloc, the god of rain and agriculture. The temple's twin pyramid structure symbolized two sacred mountains, reflecting the Aztecs' worldview and cosmology.
