When the Aztec asked his god to show him sighn what happend?

When the Aztecs asked their god for a sign, it is famously recounted that they saw an eagle perched on a cactus, eating a snake. This vision was interpreted as a divine signal to establish their city, Tenochtitlán, which later became the center of the Aztec Empire. The imagery of the eagle, cactus, and snake has since become a powerful national symbol for Mexico.
