🏛️ What was it like to wake up in Tenochtitlan in 1450?
Imagine walking along the stone causeways of the largest city in the Western Hemisphere, crossing the threshold of an Aztec merchant's home, and living a complete day in the capital of the Aztec Empire — from the first sound of the grinding stone at dawn to the last brazier flickering out at night.
In this video, we use artificial intelligence to reconstruct daily life inside an Aztec home in Tenochtitlan around 1450 AD: the architecture, the food, the domestic rituals, the great market of Tlatelolco, education, hygiene, and the small human details that history books rarely tell you.
