Mexico's name is not Mexico! Since 1824, when Mexico's government ratified its first-ever constitution, the official name of the country has been “The United Mexican States”.
The national symbol of Mexico (coat of arms) is a golden eagle standing on a nopal (cactus) holding a snake in its beak.
Mexico is one of the cradles of civilization. Alongside Egypt, Mesopotamia, the Indus Valley, China, and Peru, Mexico is identified as one of the six cradles of civilization.
Established between 800 and 200 B.C., Cholula is the oldest city in Mexico.
