This is what Mexico City looked like in about the 1520s, before Spanish colonialism.

The past/present overlays are incredible, especially if you've been to the city before.

    Wow! Mirar fotos de como podría ver Tenochtitlan en antigüedad es bien chido! Y la parte donde puedes arrastrar los imágenes si es verdaderamente increíble. Y horroroso... Que gran insulto es que los conquistadores construyeron una iglesia católica justo encima del Templo Mayor

      Part of the conquistador playbook

      "Luckily" the Spanish built the church just a few blocks away from the temple ofc, but other places haven't been so lucky

        It's shit like this that makes me really resent growing up Catholic and speaking Spanish. Mexico has been in need of a cultural revolution for centuries
