THE LAST DAYS OF TENOCHTITLAN

Posted by Rocky Point Times | Sep 4, 2012 | Rosarie Salerno |

Once the Conquistador Hernan Cortez and his army were expelled from Tenochtitlan, the site of modern day Mexico City, on June 30, 1520, the Mexica, a.k.a. the Aztec, believed that they were rid of the white-skinned invaders and would never see them again. They tried to resume their lives and religion; restoring the temples that the Spanish Conquistadors destroyed and performing their sacred rituals.

Hello my name is Monica, I have been living in Rocky Point for the last 6 months and I really enjoy it. I also enjoy every month the new issue of The Rocky Point Times. I noticed in this last issue an article titled “What happened to Montezuma” by Rosarie Salerno.
