    These renderings are so amazing and accurate.

    I spent a lot of time at Templo Mayor, and I always wondered how things would have looked like. This is how getting in a Time Machine and traveling to the past must feel like.

    Every time I traveled to Mexico City from Veracruz, I wondered how it must have been for the first Spaniards to encounter such a city for the first time. Now I know.

    Absolutely mesmerizing. And the overlays with the city finally helped me understand how the city could have grown on top of the lake.

    Thanks for posting!
