Old Aztec Flag

The old Aztec flag, a flag of glory and legend! Buy this flag and commemorate the legend of the country and of an ancient tribe, the Aztecs. The old Aztec flag is a flag made from an old Indian legend.

The story goes that the Aztec people were once nomads and spent their days wandering throughout the country in search of the sign that would indicate where they were to build their great city.  The sign was given to them by Huitzilopochtly, the war god. He told them to look for an eagle perched on top of a Prickly pear cactus (a plant which most eagles steer clear of), and that cactus would be growing in the middle of a lake. The eagle would have a long serpent in it’s beak, and that would be the spot were the people would build their great city. Legend goes that it took the Aztecs two hundred years of wandering around the country to find the eagle when he appeared on an island in the Texcoco lake, and this is where Tenochtitlan was built, and later became known as Mexico City.

See! When you purchase the old Aztec Flag at such a great price, you purchase a part of a great legend, or truth, many do say that there actually was an eagle on top of the prickly pear.

The Aztecs were known to use flags to coordinate and organize their warriors in battle. These flages were made from different colored feathers and displayed their coat of arms.
