In 1452 There was a flood in the Aztec’s great city Tenochtitlán. This damaged the city and caused a great famine and starvation. It is estimated that over 10,000 people were sacrificed to the gods during this time to make the famine stop. Much time and many resources were spent on restoring the great city and building a temple in the gods’ honor so that they could regain favor with them.
