Settlement of the Americas: 15,000 - 25,000 BCE

# data[].attributes.body
The first humans to exist in the Americas (i.e. South America, Central America, and North America) arrived between 15,000 and 25,000 years ago, passing across a land bridge formed between Asia and North America due to glaciation. While theories about the exact timing and manner of this event vary widely within the scientific community, the "Beringia Land Bridge" theory remains a widely accepted model for the original settlement of the Americas.

The Mexica tribe, after splitting from other Aztec tribes while traveling across today's Mexico, were, according to their mythology, shown a vision of an eagle perched on a prickly pear cactus, eating a snake. This symbol told them that they had found the place where they should build their civilization. After growing, progressing, and conquering neighboring regions, the Aztec Empire developed into the formidable force it was before European invasion.
