While previous episodes have explored the spiritual and martial aspects of Tenochtitlan, this episode turns to the engineering marvel that made the city possible. Lucas and Luna examine the albarradón, the massive seawall built by Tlacaelel under Moctezuma I to protect the island capital from the seasonal flooding of Lake Texcoco. We discuss how this hydraulic infrastructure allowed for the expansion of chinampas, the floating gardens that fed millions, and the complex drainage systems that kept the city habitable. The conversation also looks at the political implications of controlling water, including the controversial decision to divert freshwater from Chapultepec while using lake water for sanitation. Through the lens of urban planning, we see how the Mexica transformed a swampy island into one of the world’s greatest cities through sheer logistical mastery rather than just military conquest. #Tenochtitlan #AztecEngineering #Albarradon #Chinampa #MoctezumaI #Tlacaelel #LakeTexcoco #MexicaHistory #HydraulicEngineering #UrbanPlanning #PreColumbian #Mesoamerica #WaterManagement #Chapultepec #AztecEmpire #NorthAmerica #FexingoHistory #History Keep every episode free: buymeacoffee.com/fexingo
