Написать сочинение на английском языке на тему: "Древняя цивилизация ацтеком."

Themselves Aztecs called themselves "Mechin" or "tenochka" and "atlaltelolka" — depending on the city of origin (Tenochtitlan, Tlatelolco). As to the origin of the word "Mexica» (mexica. From which, in fact, is the word "Mexico") , it expressed a very different version of its etymology: the word "Sun" in Nahuatl, the Aztec name of the leader Meshitli (Meksitli, Mekshitli) — type of algae grows in lake Texcoco. The most famous translator of Nahuatl Miguel Leon-Portilla, says that the word means "middle of the Moon." Self-name "tenochki" possibly comes from the name Tenocha — another legendary leader.
