The official name of Mexico is Estados Únidos Mexicanos (United Mexican States)

31 states and additionally Mexico City make up the country officially known as United Mexican States.

Where did Mexico get its name from?

It originates from the word “Mexica” of which the origin is uncertain.

Some mention that it refers to the territory of the Mexica indigenous tribes, known today as the Mexica Aztec Empire. Others think it is the Nahutl (Aztec language) word meaning “navel of the moon.”

Other possibilities is that the word is derived from an Aztec war god named Mexitli or Mexixin, an edible weed or grass crop that was commonly found in the area.

Mexico is home to the largest pyramid in the world

I was under the impression that this title belonged to the Great Pyramids of Giza in Egypt, but it actually is the Great Pyramid of Cholula standing at 180 feet tall.

This pyramid is also one of the largest monuments ever constructed, measuring 1,480 square feet at its base. Find it in Cholula, Puebla Mexico.

While on the subject of pyramids,

From the largest to the smallest..

Mexico is also home to the world’s smallest volcano in recorded history.

The Cuexcomate volcano in Puebla stands at a merger 43 feet tall. For reference, the largest volcano Mauna Loa in Hawaii is 13,678 feet tall.

Speaking of which…

Mexico is a land full of volcanoes

Comprising 42 active volcanoes and thousands of inactive volcanoes, the country is located along the Ring of Fire. This is the name given to the most seismically active region of the planet which contains 90% of the world’s earthquakes and 75% of its volcanoes.

The longest and largest underwater cave system in the world is found in Mexico

Cenotes are freshwater sinkholes underground, some making up miles of caves and taverns below the ground and water.

According to Mayan tradition, cenotes are sacred places serving as an entryway to the underworld where the dead continued their lives.

The world’s longest underwater cave, Sac Actun was discovered in 2018 on Mexico’s Yucatán Peninsula. At 216 miles long, the cave system is massive and holds an important large fresh water reserve that supports great biodiversity and ancient civilisation artifacts found in the walls of the caves.

The deepest cenote Zacatón, in the Mexican state of Tamaulipas, is more than 282 meters deep.

Damn, how crazy is this?

The Aztecs played a ritual ballgame. The loser was sacrificed to the gods.

Adopting human sacrifice from earlier cultures such as the Olmecs, the Aztecs believed the world would come to an end and the sun would stop moving without human blood.

Between 10,000 to 50,000 victims were sacrificed each year. During a human sacrifice, the victim’s arms and legs were held by the priests, during which the heart was cut from the victim while fully conscious and burned on a fire in the temple.

Mexico is one of the largest countries in the world

Covering a total area of 761,606 square miles (1,972,550 square kilometres), the country is ranked 13th in the world of largest nations.

The Mexico of the 19th century was even bigger

If we go back all the way to 1821, you would find a territory of Mexico that included modern-day Guatemala, Nicaragua, Belize, El Salvador, and Honduras.

Not only that, but a portion of the US, including Texas, Arizona, Utah, New Mexico, Nevada, and California to name a few were all once a part of Mexico.

If this same territory existed today, it would be the fifth largest country in the world, bigger than the whole of Europe.

The three-day celebration begins on October 31 each year. It was originally a summer event, but after the Spanish colonised Mexico, it was moved to associate it with the All Hallows’ Eve Catholic commemoration.

It is meant to be both happy and sad festivities. Colourful ofrendas, or shrines, are placed in homes and around the towns in the weeks prior to the main event as a means honouring the deceased. Graveyards are lit up with candles and music and street parades and parties are a common occurrence.

History Facts of Mexico

You cannot visit Mexico and not be entranced with a visit to the many ancient ruins scattered throughout. From the famous ones like Chichén Itzá and Teotihuacan to the numerous lesser known but just as intriguing sites.

Tools found in Mexico suggest that the area was inhabited for around 23,000 years.

Between 2600 BC and 1800 BC the Mayan civilisation began to settle in what is region we now call Mexico.

The first great civilization were the Olmecs (1400 – 300 BC). This was followed by the Zapotec civilization.

During the 14th century, a group of warrior nomads called Mexicas (or Aztecs) settled here. Legend has it that they decided to found their capital and home here after spotting an eagle eating a snake while on a cactus plant. A vision that fulfilled an earlier foretold prophecy. The Aztecs built their city of Tenochtitlan on that site, which became the centre of a great empire and today is the centre of Mexico City.

The image of the eagle remained an enduring symbol and is pictured on the Mexican Flag as the nation’s emblem.

The Aztec Empire was defeated and conquered by Spain in 1521, wiping out much of the Mayan and Aztec empires after a long battle. A large portion of the local population died from hunger and disease brought by the Spanish colonists.

Mexico was under Spanish control for over 300 years

This, until gaining independence following the signing of Treaty of Cordoba in 1821.

Under the rule of Spain, Mexico was known as “New Spain”

For over 300 years during 1519 – 1821, the country was called New Spain during the Spanish colonial period.

Texas was once a province in Mexico. It declared its independence from Mexico, resulting in the war with the USA in 1836. The border was established after the Mexican-American war from 1846 – 1848.
