Mexico City
The basin prehispanic
In pre-Hispanic times, the lakes in the basin of Mexico were determining factor in one of the most outstanding cultural developments of the ancient world. On the shores of Lake Texcoco, in Tlapacoya, is located one of the earliest evidence of man's precesencia in Mexico, with an approximate age estimate of 9000 years.
They were nomadic hunter-gathererswho for the Pre (2500-1200 BC) had become sedentary and agricultural companies that took advantage of favorable environmental conditions in the region.
For the Post Tardio (1200-1521 AD), the basin had become the heart of Mesoamerica, home to nearly one million inhabitants, from a town in the middle of a pond is dictated the fate of much of that territory. That city, Tenochtitlan, which hadbeen founded on an island in 1325 AD, had been transformed into a true metropolis and criss-crossed by canals and with a complex hydraulic structure that allows the cultivation of permanent chinampas, water transported from sweet - Chapultepec by an aqueduct built on Nezahualcoyotl and including several levees that allowed flood control and separate fresh water from salt.
Although they are nowalmost imperceptible, the traces of that structure hydraulics are written into the stroke of the city: the extension of some streets coincides with the disposition of the levees or roads, like those of Mexico-Tacuba, Vallejo, Shrimp, Nonoalco, Tlalpan, Iztapalapa, Mysteries and Melchor Ocampo. Who does not know the moves but remains the same routes that 500 years ago allowed to cross the lake, inaddition to control it. Prehipanicos all villages in the basin benefited from the flows of rivers and lakes and developed a style of life that we can call lacuestre.
