Mu 1980 ntchito zofukula m'mabwinja kumpoto kwa Kachisi Wamkulu zidayamba. Kumeneku kunali akachisi osiyanasiyana omwe anali gawo la nyumba zomwe zimapanga plaza yayikulu kapena malo azisangalalo likulu la Aztec.
Zitatu mwa izi zidalumikizidwa, chimodzi motsatizana ndi kuchokera kummawa mpaka kumadzulo, mbali yakumpoto ya kachisi. Zina zinapezeka kumpoto kwa malo atatuwa; Anali malo ooneka ngati L omwe anali ndi masitepe awiri: imodzi yoyang'ana kumwera ina yoyang'ana kumadzulo; chotsirizira chokongoletsedwa ndi mitu ya mphungu. Pofukula chipinda chino chapansi, zidawonedwa kuti padali gulu lakale lomwe linali ndi dongosolo lomwelo. Masitepe akumadzulo adatsogolera ku holo yokhala ndi zipilala ndi benchi yokongoletsedwa ndi gulu lankhondo. Panjira ndi mbali zonse ziwiri zakulowera kunali ankhondo awiri a ziwombankhanga zadongo.
Khomalo limalowera kuchipinda chamakona anayi chomwe mbali yake yakumanzere chili ndi kakhonde kamene kamalowera kuchipinda chamkati, kumpoto ndi kumwera komwe kuli zipinda ziwiri. Benchi yankhondo imawonekeranso onse. Mwa njira, pakhomo lolowera panali ziwonetsero ziwiri zadothi ngati mafupa ndi zoyera zadongo zoyera nkhope ya mulungu wolira Tláloc. Zokonzera zonsezi ndizolemera kwambiri pazodzikongoletsera. Nyumbayi idalipo motsatira nthawi ya V (cha m'ma AD 1482) ndipo chifukwa chamalingaliro amalingaliridwa kuyambira pachiyambi kuti imatha kukhala yokhudzana kwambiri ndi nkhondo ndi imfa.
Zaka zingapo zidadutsa ndipo mu 1994 Leonardo López Luján ndi gulu lake adafukula kumpoto kwa gululi, komwe adapeza kupitiriza. Kumbali yoyang'ana kumwera anapezanso benchi ndi ankhondo ndipo khomo pambali pake panali zidutswa ziwiri zadothi zokhala ndi chithunzi cha mulungu Mictlantecuhtli, mbuye wa dziko lapansi. Chithunzi cha njoka yoyikidwa pansi chidalepheretsa kulowa mchipindamo.
Akatswiri ofukula zinthu zakale adazindikira kuti pamapewa azifaniziro ziwiri za mulunguyo panali chinthu chamdima chomwe, chitasanthulidwa, chikuwonetsa zotsalira zamagazi. Izi zinagwirizana bwino ndi chidziwitso cha chikhalidwe, popeza mu Codex Magliabechi (mbale 88 recto) chithunzi cha Mictlantecuhtli chitha kuwonedwa ndi munthu wokhetsa magazi pamutu pake.
Kutsogolo kwa khomo lolowera, chopereka choyikidwa mkati mwa chikhomo choboola pakati chidapezedwa, chomwe chimatikumbutsa njira zinayi zakuthambo. Mkati mwake munali mulungu wakale ndi zinthu zosiyanasiyana, kuphatikizapo mipira ya labala.
Kafukufuku wochitidwa ndi López Luján adalongosola zina mwazomwe nyumbayo idagwira komanso momwe ingagwire ntchito. Pofufuza zolemba zakale ndikusanthula zomwe akatswiri ofukula zakale apeza, akuti pamakhala zikondwerero zofunika zokhudzana ndi wolamulira wamkulu wa Tenochtitlan. Ulendo wochokera kuzipinda zamkati kupita kumadzulo umagwirizana ndi njira ya tsiku ndi tsiku, ndipo ziwerengero za ankhondo a ziwombankhanga zitha kukhala zofunikira pankhaniyi. Atatuluka mnyumbayo, akutembenukira kumpoto, njira yakufa, yotchedwa Mictlampa, ndipo amafika pamaso pa mbuye wa dziko lapansi. Ulendo wonsewu wadzaza ndi zophiphiritsa. Sitingathe kuiwala kuti chithunzi cha tlatoani chimafanana ndi Dzuwa komanso kufa.
Pambuyo pake, idakumba pansi pa Library ya Porrúa, pa Justo Sierra Street, ndipo komwe kumawoneka ngati malire akumpoto kwa Águilas Precinct kunapezeka, ndipo posachedwapa khoma lakumadzulo kwa nyumbayo lapezeka. Chifukwa chake, zakale, zofukulidwa zakale ndi magwero azambiri anali othandizana ndipo zidatitsogolera kudziwa komwe kunali malo azokondwerera a Tenochtitlan.
