Is it true that Oxford University was founded earlier than the Aztec Empire began?
Yes. Evidence shows that Oxford University had teaching as early as 1096, whereas the Aztec Empire began much later (with Tenochtitlan founded in the late 12th or early 13th century, and the Triple Alliance forming in 1428).
