The Azcatitlan Codex, a rare centuries-old manuscript narrating Aztec history, has returned to Mexico on loan from France for the first time since 1840. The artifact recounts key historical events, including the founding of the Aztec capital of Tenochtitlan and the subsequent arrival of Spanish conquistadores.
Mexico had spent years demanding the return of the treasured artifact. Although the manuscript is now back in the country, the return is strictly on a loan basis.
