History
Which historical figure was alive at the same time as modern universities?
Oxford University is older than the Aztec Empire
Background
Oxford University has existed since around 1096. The Aztec Empire only began in 1325 with the founding of Tenochtitlan. That means Oxford had been teaching for over 200 years before the Aztecs founded their empire. Many people think the Aztecs are much older. But that is not true.
