Obsidian had a special significance in Mesoamerica, as it was highly integrated in daily and ritual life. Obisidian is volcanic glass that has been naturally formed.

Quetzalcoatl was a Mesoamerican deity (supernatural being, usually one of many gods) who is depicted as a feathered serpent.

The Triple Alliance of the Aztec Empire were three city-states run by indigenous groups called the Nahua. The three city-states were Tenochtitlan, Texcoco and Tlacopan.

Montezuma II was the ruler of Tenochtitlan from 1502 to 1520.
