    This place is one of the oldest settlements on the North American continent: people began living here 7000 to 9000 years ago. Exactly here, on the site of the ancient Lake Texcoco, the capital of the mighty Aztecs Tenochtitlan rose several centuries ago.
    Today, this city is home to three UNESCO World Heritage sites and over 21 million people. This is Mexico City - the pulsing heart of Mexico, a true city of contrasts where modern buildings stand side by side with ancient artifacts of past civilizations.
    Today, we’ll have an exciting journey through its undergrounds to uncover the hidden secrets beneath the streets of Mexico City. You’ll see things that will forever change how you perceive this incredible place.
    What Lies Beneath Mexico City.

Spain didn't send an army Columbus and the other explorers just claimed the whole continent for the King of Spain simple. The sucessive rulers of spain gave away the property in land grants. So study again my city the peublo De Los Angeles has the kings name on the Deed you can see it in pictures and its filed at the Library downtown, I'm sure you can see those documents online all over the the Americas.

    Don't be too amazed at Mexico's rubber-tire metro trains. We have the same type here in Montreal. The reason is that the rubber tires make it possible for the trains to navigate steeply inclined tunnels, something important in a city like ours, with various escarpments and a plateau. In cities with steel-wheeled metro trains, the metro tunnels have to be a lot more level.

      It actually started in the Inca's a Blonde headed, blonde bearded group of tall, muscular, large people's in what is Columbia now, but then it was where the Machu Picchu was. The Chachapoyas/Cloud Warriors built Michu Picchu. They ruled it for over 800 years. They were outnumbered and defeated, then migrated north, through Mexico and what is now Arizona. The white brother called the Pahana. Look into it. True Isrealites!

    here is a "Logical set of Questions" I would ask myself growing up in Mexico City and visiting the Museum next to "El Zocalo" with my grandfather. For anyone viewing this documentary: listen and pay attention to the "depths" they talk about and try to imagine how deep some of these pyramids were and ask yourself.
    1. Were did they (Note: remember as per history books, the populations were decimated upwards of up to 80% after the Spaniards arrived carrying all types of Germs / chicken-pox) so were did "they" (the few survivors) bring in all that dirt to at the very least cover 16 feet (again this figure is a ballpark number as the depths are much deeper) to cover all the surrounding space that now allows for all those building you see and streets one drives on.
    And 2. You mean to tell me that even though the lake was dried out, they were also able to cut the water access out of all those rivers which again feed back into the lake again? Let alone the amount of weight all these new building have. And on top of that they build the 2nd largest Metro system underground in the Americas? Something is not adding up. I hope to one day put some online content going into depth about this subject.

      First up the Americas is the true old world, search up where the majority of all food stuffs (veg fruit etc) originate, it’s the Americas, the Americas is a special place, search up where the majority of all temples like structures are located… it’s the Americas.
      N ye I’ve always questioned how a bunch of savage dirty Spaniards could build such megalithic cathedral structures… Mm who knows, a lot of history has been purposefully destroyed n twisted, timelines could even be entirely false… adding or taking away thousands of years can be done by any civilisation to its timelines.

Los Mexicas tenian uno de los sistemas de construccion/arquitectonicos mas avanzados de la epoca. Sabian como utilizar los recusros lacustres. Need answer to your questions, read a book.

    • @Native_Creation

      1.) Keep in mind that the core of Mexico city (former Tenochtitlan) is sinking into the ground. A lot of the dirt comes from the excavations when building the foundations and the Spaniards re-used most of the temples/buildings from the Tenocha for the old colonial buildings. But they probably also brought it in from other areas.
      2.) The Spanish really messed up the irrigation system and some of the old knowledge was lost, but they drained the lake in order to use it for farmland for the booming population. Completely radicalized the dietary system as they forced converts to eat like them. I don't know the hydrological system there, but there's also ancient aquifers in the area I believe. It's all threatened by overpopulation, inefficient infrastructure (most of it is lost by seepage), and climate change impacting the water supply.

    In 2016, the incidence of femicides was 3.2 per 100 000 inhabitants, the national average being 4.2. A 2015 city government report found that two of three women over the age of 15 in the capital suffered some form of violence.
    As of 2014, Mexico has the 16th highest rate of homicides committed against women in the world.
    Crime is one of the most urgent concerns facing Mexico, as Mexican drug trafficking rings play a major role in the flow of cocaine, methamphetamine, fentanyl, heroin, and marijuana transiting between Latin America and the United States. Drug trafficking has led to corruption, which has had a deleterious effect on Mexico's Federal Representative Republic.
