The following chart contains various New World components, both before and after the "discovery" of the Americas. For the Tenochtitlan site, one should read the description of Mexico City found in National Geographic., August, 1984, Mexico City: An Alarming Giant (pp. 138-173). This article describes the city enveloped by a ring of mountains, so that the city itself is situated in the "bowl." This is the art work found in the Middle of Africa. If the maps are done with two hemispheres on one map face, then this graphic representation might be Mexico City, that was wiped out by the Conquistadores after 1519 AD.
