Idolobha laseMexico-Tenochtitlan lavuselelwa usuku nosuku. Ukubukeka kwawo okuhle nokuhloniphekile kwakuwumsebenzi wombusi ophakeme, u-tlatoani, owayefanele aqinisekise ukuthi idolobha elisungulwe ngezikhathi zeTenoch liba isikhungo esifanelekayo sendawo yonke, indlu enhle yabonkulunkulu.
Waba mkhulu umzamo owenziwa abakhi baleli dolobha lomdabu, ngoba zonke izinto zokwakhiwa kwalo kwakudingeka zisuswe ogwini lwalesi sichibi ngisho nasezindaweni ezikude kakhulu. Abasebenzi babeyalwe ukuthi batholwe emagqumeni asezintabeni emthambekeni osempumalanga weLake Texcoco, noma emaweni aseningizimu, lapho kwakuhlala khona abantu baseChinamper, idwala elifanele ukuqoshwa kwesithombe esihle kakhulu Unkulunkulukazi woMhlanga ongu-12, okumelwe yena Umama uMhlaba, umphathi wezimpilo nokufa, ophethe ukugcina ibhalansi yendawo yonke ngegazi labonkulunkulu nelabantu.
Ukutholakala kwetshe kwakungewona umsebenzi olula, ngoba kwakucatshangwa isithombe esikhulu, esibalwa ngokulandelana kwezingalo nezandla, ngokohlelo lokulinganisa lomdabu. Ngaphezu kwalokho, idwala kwakudingeka ukuthi lihlangane futhi ngaphandle kwemigqa eyayingavimbela ukuqhekeka okuyingozi ngenkathi idluliselwa eshabhu, noma okubi nakakhulu, lapho abakhi bamatshe base beqhubekile nomsebenzi wabo. Bakhetha ngaleso sikhathi amatshe entaba-mlilo njengoba i-andesite ne-basalt, leyo, amadwala aqinile, ahlangene futhi amelana nawo, ebingabazwa futhi ipholishwe ngomfutho omkhulu futhi ibuye yethule ukufana okufana.
Ochwepheshe ekutholeni inkwali efanele babuyela edolobheni futhi baxoxela inkosi yabo ukuthi bathole isifanekiso esisesimweni esihle kakhulu, futhi kuleyo ndawo, esemaphethelweni eTexcoco, izinkwali zasuswa. Kuqala kwakudingeka basuse ucezu olukhulu lwedwala, lapho bemba khona izimbotshana eziningana, belandela iphethini elingunxande, abathi kamuva baligcwalisa ngemigqa yamapulangwe abathela kuyo amanzi abilayo, okwenza ukuthi leyo nto ikhukhumale kuze kube, bese ngomsindo omkhulu, ukuhlukaniswa kwebhulokhi enkulu kwenzeka.
Ngokushesha, lonke iqembu labasebenzi ngamashizolo abo, izimbazo nezando ezenziwe ngalo ama-diorite nama-nephrites, amadwala aqinile futhi ahlangene, bacubungula idwala elikhulu, laze laveza ukubukeka okufana nengquza enkulu engunxande. Ngakho-ke, kwathathwa isinqumo sokuhudulela i-monolith endaweni lapho kwakusebenza khona ababazi abadumile baseTenochtitlan; Ngalokhu ababazi babesike izingodo ezanele, lapho babesuse khona amagxolo namagatsha amancane ukuze idwala ligingqike phezu kwabo kalula. Ngale ndlela, ngosizo lwezintambo, labo bantu baphatha ibhulokhi baya emgwaqeni owawuxhumanisa iTenochtitlan nesifunda esiseningizimu echibini lesiziba.
Kuwo wonke amadolobha amancane lapho kudonswa khona i-monolith, abantu bayeka umsebenzi wabo okwesikhashana ukuze babonge umzamo we-titanic owenziwa ngabasebenzi abakhuthele. Ekugcineni, i-monolith yathathwa yangeniswa enhliziyweni yedolobha, lapho abaqophi baqala khona umsebenzi wabo eduze kwesigodlo saseMoctezuma.
Abapristi, ngosizo lukaJehova tlacuilos, baklama isithombe sikankulunkulukazi womhlaba; ukubukeka kwakhe bekufanele kube nesihluku futhi kushaqise. Amandla angapheli amandla enyoka kwakufanele ahlangane nomzimba wesifazane wobunkulunkulu UCihuacóatl, "owesifazane oyinyoka": entanyeni yakhe nasezandleni zakhe kwakuzophuma amakhanda ezihuquzelayo futhi wayegqoka umgexo wezandla ezinqunyiwe nezinhliziyo zomuntu, ngesivikelo sesifuba esakhiwe ngogebhezi olunamehlo aqhumayo; isiketi sakhe, sezinyoka ezincikene, besizomnika okunye ukumazi: Coatlicue.
Labo ababephethe umsebenzi wokuqopha baziphonsa kulo msebenzi onzima, futhi ngamashizela namazembe osayizi abahlukahlukene basebenza idwala kwaze kwaba sekugcineni. Kulesi sigaba vele basebenzise isihlabathi nomlotha wentaba-mlilo ukufeza ipholishi efanayo. Ekugcineni, abadwebi bahlanganisa isithombe sikankulunkulukazi nge bomvu, umbala ohlukile okhiphe uketshezi olunikeza impilo onkulunkulu abondliwa ngalo, ukunikeza ukuqhubeka komjikelezo wokuphila wendawo yonke.
