A note on the position and extent of the great temple enclosure of Tenochtitlan, and the position, structure and orientation of the Teocolli of Huitzilopochtli.

"A note on the position and extent of the great temple enclosure of Tenochtitlan, and the position, structure and orientation of the Teocalli of Huitzilopochtli" by Alfred Percival Maudslay is a historical study exploring the religious center of the Mexica civilization. The record works diligently to recreate the designs of the Great Temple Enclosure based on previous research and documents. The temple was used for religious ceremonies, sacrifices and community gatherings. The writing provides different ideas on what the temple's design meant, including its measurements and the amount of staircases that led to the altars made for the gods Huitzilopochtli and Tlaloc. Maudslay hopes to give a better idea of this big place and why it mattered to the old city by closely studying old descriptions and things found during excavation.
