Mexico City and Tenochtitlan….?
If Mexico City was built on the ruins of Tenochtitlan (from the aztec empire) then does that mean that Mexico city is on an island in the Texcoco lake???
Lake Texcoco was mostly filled in with dirt and Mexico City is sinking a little bit every year. The only piece of the lake that remains is Xochimilco, south of Mexico City. To see what Xochimilco looks like, click the link below.

what does mean "Tenochtitlan"?
Based in the theory that the Aztecs called so because they found the lake "texcoco" that it had the same shape of a (rabbit) like the moon
The Aztecs built their capital city, called Tenochtitlan, in the centre of enormous Lake Texcoco. The Aztecs believed they were the “chosen people” of Huitzilopochtli and did everything that he desired of them. "During the fourteenth century, Huitzilopochtli told the Aztec chieftain that their new homeland would be on the island in Lake Toxcoco, and when they reached the island they were to look for an eagle eating a snake perched on a cactus growing from a rock or cave surrounded by water. This would be the location where they were to build their city and honor him.[i]” They found this location and began to build their city around the year 1325 AD.
