The Aztecs were a Pre-Columbian Mesoamerican people of central Mexico in the 14th, 15th and 16th centuries. They called themselves Mexica (pronounced [meËÊikaÊ]). The Republic of Mexico and its capital, Mexico City, derive their names from the word Mexica. The capital of the Aztec empire was Tenochtitlan, built on a raised island in Lake Texcoco. Modern Mexico City is built on the ruins of Tenochtitlan.
Often the term Aztec refers exclusively to the Mexica people of Tenochtitlan (now the location of Mexico City), situated on an island in Lake Texcoco, who referred to themselves as MÄxihcah Tenochcah [meËËÊiÊkaÊ teËnotÍ¡ÊkaÊ] or CÅlhuah Mexihcah [ËkoËlwaÊ meËËÊiÊkaÊ] .ztec culture is the culture of the people referred to as Aztecs, but since all ethnic groups of central Mexico in the postclassic period shared most basic cultural traits, many of the basic traits of Aztec culture cannot be said to be exclusive for the Aztecs.
