    Possibly, I really don’t know. If so, then my apologies to the people of Tenochtitlan. My point about draining the lake and building on it still stands, though.

      It was essentially a continuation of the work they started. The city was built on marshes and low islands that were drained and raised. It worked great for them before, I can understand that they wouldn’t foresee any undesirable consequences.
