#2Inspiring in many ways, but also troubling. These people would have used fire for heating, cooking, and crafting, but there is no smoke. Depictions of ancient peoples that delete critical elements are troubling, distracting, and misleading.

> To mark the ending of the 52-year cycle, all fires in the Basin of Mexico are extinguished and then lit again from a single source, in what is called the New Fire Ceremony.
So the renders are probably from right after the ceremony.
Troublesome, distracting, misleading problem solved.

#9The thing thats wild about Tenochtitlan, as the story goes, is that the Aztec people discovered it themselves, and no one really knows who originally built it!

You’re thinking of another city, very likely Teotihuacán. Tenochtitlán was built from scratch by the aztecs. (Either that or please give sources for your statement).
