Finding Aztlan

SANTIAGO DE IXCUINTLA,Nayarit--The beautiful murals in this city tell the story of how the Aztecs left their native Aztlan to found the Aztec empire of Tenochitlan (present day Mexico City).

Great controversy surrounds the mystery of where Aztlan is really located, whether it is a mythical place or not. Historians have pointed to Texas, California, New Mexico and other places throughout Mexico as the real Aztlan. Stay tuned to Jeremy's story and my photos and video about the Island of Mexcaltitan. It is here that some historians argue the real Aztlan is located, the place where the Aztecs first learned about the prophecy they fulfilled.
