Mexico, in this context, is a thing more than a location.
Say them out loud. "The Aztecs built a great city in what is now Mexico." VS "The Aztecs built a great city in where is now Mexico."
Which sounds better?
Do you hear the way the second sentence morphs into a screwy half-question?
Thank you!! :)
