About This Tool
Mexico is an unusual name for a country, if you have any insight at all; and if you happen to have any curiosity at all, you’re bound to be confused about why it was born. The curious fact of the name is that Mexico is a vast country named after its capital. There are plenty of countries in the world with the same name as their capitals, but most of them are either tiny countries with almost one city (such as Singapore) or have capitals (such as Brazil) named after them. For a vast and culturally diverse country, it is almost inconceivable to name the whole country after the capital, which often represents only one culture at a time.
The random tool generated 59 items documenting inventions and discoveries first introduced in the territory of Mexico today, or inventions that vary greatly in concept, shape, or use. You can randomly find great inventions like Chinampa, Popcorn, Balloons, Compass, etc.
