The term "Aztec" refers to the seven indigenous tribes who share the common language of Nahuatl and who settled in the Valley of Mexico prior to the Spanish conquest. These tribes, which include the Xochimilca, Chalca, Tepaneca, Colhua, Tlahuica, Tlaxcalteca, and Mexica. According to legend, the Mexica established their homeland in 1325 on an island in Lake Texcoco where they found an eagle on top of a prickly pear cactus (as had been prophesied by one of their priests). They named their island city Tenochtitlan. As the Mexica consolidated their power, Tenochtitlan became the capital of the Aztec Empire.
Tenochtitlan formed a strategic alliance with the neighboring Aztec city-states of Texcoco and Tlacopan in 1428. This alliance was known as the Triple Alliance and was created to provide security for the region. Although Tenochtitlan was the political and military leader of the alliance, each member retained its own legal, economic, and religious systems. Moreover, the Aztecs usually did not impose their laws or customs on the people that they conquered. The Triple Alliance dissolved in 1515.
Tumblr media
By the time of the Conquest, approximately 1 million people were living in the Valley of Mexico, with 250,000 in Tenochtitlan alone. The Spanish conquistadores who arrived in the region in 1519 were stunned by the advanced Aztec civilization and compared Tenochtitlan to the city of Venice. The Spaniards conquered the Aztecs in 1521, destroyed the great temples and vestiges of this civilization. However, the legacy of the original Aztec empire survives today through its archaeological treasures and the indigenous Nahua people, who are the modern descendants of the Aztecs.
Aztec Political Structure
Tumblr media
The Aztec empire was made up of a series of city-states known as altepetl. Each altepetl was ruled by a supreme leader (tlatoani) and a supreme judge and administrator (cihuacoatl). The tlatoani of the capital city of Tenochtitlan served as the Emperor (Huey Tlatoani) of the Aztec empire. The tlatoani was the ultimate owner of all land in his city-state, oversaw markets and temples, led the military, and resolved judicial disputes. Once a tlatoani was selected, he served his city-state for life. The cihuacoatl was the second in command after the tlatoani, served as the supreme judge for the court system, appointed all lower court judges, and handled the financial affairs of the altepetl.
New emperors were usually chosen from among the brothers or sons of the deceased ruler. They were required to be over the age of 30, to have been educated at one of the elite calmecac schools, to be experienced warriors and military leaders, and to be just. Although the emperor had absolute power and was believed to be a representative of the gods, he governed with the assistance of four advisors and one senior advisor.
Aztec Social Structure
Tumblr media
The noble class consisted of government and military leaders, high level priests, and lords (tecuhtli). Priests had their own internal class system and were expected to be celibate and to refrain from alcohol. Failure to do so would result in serious punishment or death. The tecuhtli included landowners, judges, and military commanders. Noble status was passed on through male and female lineages.
Tumblr media
The commoner class consisted of farmers, artisans, merchants, and low-level priests. Artisans and traveling merchants enjoyed the greatest amount of wealth and prestige within this class, and had their own self-governing trade guilds. Commoners generally resided in calpulli (also referred to as calpolli), or neighborhood wards, which were led by a single nobleman and a council of commoner elders.
An individual could voluntarily sell himself or his children into slavery to pay back a debt (the latter required permission of the court). Slaves had the right to marry, to have children, to substitute another individual in their place, and to buy their freedom. Slaveowners were responsible for housing and feeding their slaves, and slaves generally could not be resold. They were usually freed when their owners died, and could also gain their freedom by marrying their owner. Aztecs were not born slaves and could not inherit this status from their parents.
There is evidence that women had administrative roles in the calpulli and markets, and also worked as midwives and priestesses.
Aztec Legal System and Sources of Law
Tumblr media
The Aztec legal system was highly complex and was designed to maintain social order. Aztec laws were based on royal decrees and on customs that had been passed down from generation to generation. These laws were also interpreted and applied by Aztec judges in the various court systems. Aztec judges were not necessarily bound by existing law, and had some discretion to do what was just and reasonable under the circumstances. The concept of stare decisis did apply in certain situations, as punishments ordered in certain cases were typically applied to subsequent similar cases.
The major civil and criminal laws were written down in pictograph for use by judges, while other customary laws were passed down to younger generations through spoken hymns. At the time of the conquest, the Aztecs had just begun to codify their laws into a more formal written form. However, the Spanish missionaries deliberately destroyed the few written court and legal records that existed because they were considered to be heretical. Other legal manuscripts were burned by Spanish troops for fuel, or were allowed to rot from humidity and neglect. As a result, the limited information that is available about the Aztec legal system comes from Spanish chroniclers and troops who documented their observations during the two years before Tenochtitlan was conquered.
Many Spanish priests also studied the Aztecs during the years immediately following the Conquest, and wrote manuscripts known as codices. These codices discussed Aztec history, religion, natural history, warfare, political affairs, and the events following the Conquest. The best and most comprehensive work was the 12 volume General History of the Things of New Spain, which was also known as the Florentine Codex. Written by Fray Bernardino de Sahagún, this work was based on interviews with Aztec elders who survived the Conquest, and includes detailed information about Aztec daily life, merchant and artisan business practices, and the governance of the Aztec empire. Because this codex provides a relatively pro-Aztec viewpoint of the Conquest, it was suppressed for 300 years during the Spanish inquisition. The Codex Mendoza, which was commissioned in the 1540s by a Spanish viceroy, is also an important resource because it covers the history of Tenochtitlan, has detailed tribute records, and includes a discussion of Aztec law and punishments. The Libro de Oro Codex (the Codex Ixtlilxóchitl) was written by Fray Fernando de Alva Cortés Ixtlilxóchitl and contains a collection of 65 criminal laws that were supposedly copied from an original Aztec manuscript.
Aztec Judicial System
Tumblr media
The Aztec judicial system was made up of multiple courts with differing levels of jurisdiction. These included the trial courts, appellate courts, and a supreme court. The trial courts were known as Teccalli courts, and heard civil and criminal cases involving commoners. Civil judgments by this court were considered final, but criminal sentences could be appealed. The appellate courts, known as Tlacxitlán, reviewed criminal appeals from the Teccalli courts and served as trial courts for cases involving nobles and warriors. The Aztec Supreme Court reviewed decisions from the Tlaxitlán. The Chief Justice, or Cihuacoatl, determined the final verdict and his decision could not be appealed to the Emperor or the other judges. If the Cihuacoatl decided that a case was too important for the Court to rule on alone, it was sent to the Emperor, who held court every 12 days and rendered final judgments with the assistance of four elder noblemen. The Emperor retained the ultimate right to intervene in cases or appeals that were of importance to him or to the empire.
Tumblr media
The Aztecs had various special jurisdiction courts, including commercial courts (which handled marketplace and merchant disputes), family courts, fiscal affairs courts, a military court, and a religious court (which handled cases concerning priests, students, and religious matters). The Aztecs additionally had neighborhood courts that were similar to modern justices of the peace. Judges were elected by the neighborhood to hear minor criminal and civil cases, and reported their decisions to the Tecalli courts. These judges also had a police force to serve summons and arrest criminals.
Aztec judges were viewed with great respect and honor, and were expected to be impartial, ethical, and honest. The Emperor (or tlatoani) appointed the Cihuacoatl, who in turn appointed all of the lower court judges except for the neighborhood judges. Judges were appointed for life and could be removed only for misconduct. Judges received their training through an apprenticeship program that involved observing court proceedings. Future judges were then selected from among the apprentices. The judiciary was self-policing, and judicial misconduct was punished by reprimand for the first minor offense. After the third minor offense, a judge would be removed from office and have his head shaved, which was considered a great humiliation among the Aztecs. Major breaches of professional ethics, including bribery, accepting gifts, and colluding with a party to a case, were punishable by death.
Individuals who were accused of crimes or were involved in civil disputes were summoned to court and had the opportunity to defend themselves. Attorneys did not exist, and individuals usually represented themselves with the assistance of friends and relatives. Trials were public, all parties were required to testify under oath, and documents, testimony, circumstantial evidence, and confessions were admissible. No trial could last more than 80 days and verdicts were determined through a majority vote. Judges were assisted during proceedings by court personnel, including recorders or painters who documented the court proceedings, a crier who announced verdicts, and an executioner who carried out death sentences.
Aztec Criminal Law
Under the Aztec legal system, crimes were severely punished. While capital punishment was common, other punishments included restitution, loss of office, destruction of the offender’s home, prison sentences, slavery, and shaving the offender’s head.
The Aztecs had a prison system, which included the cuauhcalli (a "death row"), the teilpiloyan (a debtors’ prison), the petlacalli (a prison for individuals who were found guilty of minor crimes), and a fourth type of prison which involved a judge drawing lines or placing sticks on the ground and ordering the prisoner not to cross them.
Numerous offenses were punishable by death, including homicide, perjury, rape, highway robbery, destruction of crops, selling stolen property, official graft, pederasty and serious judicial misconduct. Capital punishment could be carried out through hanging, drowning, stoning, strangulation, beheading, beating, disembowelment, burning, quartering, and opening the chest to remove the perpetrator's heart. It was possible for victims or families of victims to intervene in the execution of a sentence. If they chose to forgive the perpetrator, his death sentence was removed and he would become a slave of the victim’s family.
Theft was considered a serious crime. Capital offenses included theft from merchants, theft from a temple, theft of arms or military insignia, and theft of more than 20 ears of corn. Petty theft was generally punished through restitution. If the perpetrator wasn’t able to pay for the stolen item, he became the victim's slave.
Children under the age of ten were considered to be legally incapable of committing criminal acts, but were still expected to respect and obey their parents.
Aztec Property Law
Tumblr media
Aztecs had a complex and hierarchical land ownership system, and drew sophisticated boundary maps that were used to mark different types of land and settle disputes. The Emperor owned personal and royal property which was used as he saw fit. Owners of conquered lands were not necessarily displaced and were usually allowed to continue living on and working their lands.
Nobles could own land on a restricted and unrestricted basis. Nobles obtained land by purchasing it from other nobles or as a gift from the emperor for service to the Aztec empire. Purchased land could be sold or willed. Land grants from the emperor sometimes had conditions that required them to be returned to the emperor upon the death of the owner. Warriors had similar rights to purchase land or receive it from the emperor. Institutions such as the army, temples, and certain public offices (judgeships) could also own land which was received from the Emperor. These entities owned the rights to the profits from the land and used them to support the office holder. However, the individual office holder did not own the land.
Commoners could not own land on an individual basis. However, they had access to land through their calpulli. Although the calpulli were run by nobles, members of the calpulli were permitted to elect a neighborhood leader (calpullec) to manage the distribution of communally-owned calpulli land. This land was given to individual families, and generally stayed with the family unless it went uncultivated for two years or the family moved away. If this occurred, the unused land would then be redistributed to other families. Although the calpulli was responsible for dividing and reassigning the land, individual plots of land were often inherited by subsequent generations of the same family.
Aztec Commercial and Tax Law
Tumblr media
A strong system of laws governed the economic operations of the Aztec Empire. One of the main sources of income for the empire was taxation. Aztec citizenry paid taxes (with the exception of priests, nobles, minors, orphans, invalids, and beggars). Merchants paid taxes on the goods that they sold, artisans paid taxes based on the value of their services, and barrios paid taxes through the crops that they produced.
As for tribute payments researchers have observed that tribute payments were generally reasonable.
Merchants were extremely important to the Aztec empire, especially traveling merchants known as pochtecah who ventured into neighboring regions. Pochtecah were organized into their own calpulli and could pass their profession and land down to their children. They had their own guilds, laws of conduct, and courts to enforce their laws. They ventured into foreign regions to establish trade and sometimes served as messengers and spies for the Aztecs. Merchants who were attacked while on the road were expected to defend themselves, and were sometimes assisted by warriors. War was justified if the safety of an Aztec merchant was threatened.
Local commerce was required to be carried out in large marketplaces known as tianquiztli. The various marketplaces were open once a week on rotating days, although the largest market in Tlatelolco was open on a daily basis. The marketplaces were patrolled by special commissioners who worked to prevent fraud and disturbances. Commercial disputes were settled in the marketplaces through special commercial courts that had the power to impose capital punishment if necessary. Sales were made on cash and credit. While there was no official currency, various goods functioned as money, including cacao grains, small squares of cotton cloth, small nuggets of gold, pieces of tin, and precious feathers.
The Aztecs used contracts to carry out their business activities. Contracts were formed verbally and became legal and binding when witnessed by four people. There is evidence to suggest that the Aztecs had sales, commission sales, lease, work, and loan contracts. Loan contracts used collateral in the form of property and goods.
Aztec Family Law
Aztec family law generally followed customary law. Marriage ceremonies had to follow certain rituals in order to be legally recognized.
Marriage was conditional in that the parties could decide to separate or stay together after they had their first son. Marriages could also be unconditional and last for an indefinite period of time. Polygamy and concubines were permitted, though this was more common in noble households and marriage rites were only observed with the first, or principal, wife. Aztec families could live in single family homes, though many opted to live in joint family households for economic reasons.
Aztec families were very close knit. Children were considered gifts from the gods, but were expected to be obedient to their parents and elders. Children who became orphaned lived with aunts and uncles or other family members. 
There was no divorce, but men and women could petition the courts for legal separation on the basis of incompatibility, misconduct by the wife, abuse by the husband, or financial debt.
Courts generally tried to encourage reconciliation where possible. Simple abandonment of a household by one party was also sufficient to establish a legal separation. Property registered at time of marriage was returned to the party who brought it to the marriage. If there was a guilty party in the marriage, the offender forfeited half of the community property to the other spouse. Divorced and widowed parties could get remarried. Widows had the option of marrying their husband's brother as well.
There is some conflicting information among researchers regarding inheritance rights. According to Avalos, a father could create a will as he saw fit, with property conceivably going to his wife or daughters. 
Aztec International and Military Law
The Aztec empire was strongly militaristic. War was justified when a territory closed its roads to commerce or when a merchant or ambassador was killed. A ritual was followed for declaring war. The Aztec Emperor would issue a declaration of war and envoys were sent to the enemy region. The enemy was given a gift of weapons and 20 days to respond to the declaration and submit to Aztec authority. If no agreement was reached, the enemy was brought another gift of weapons and given another 20 days to respond. If no agreement was reached after this second offering, a third and final warning was given with harsher terms. If no agreement was reached after the final warning, the Aztec army would attack within twenty days. Enemy kings suffered personal punishment by the Aztecs if they waited until the third warning to accept the Aztec empire's terms. During combat, captured warriors were enslaved and sacrificed. Captives had the option of fighting Aztec warriors in order to obtain their freedom.
Most sacrificial victims were warriors captured in battle. To be sacrificed was an honor because it was believed that this would guarantee life after death.
Texcocan Law
Texcoco was founded in the 12th century and grew to prominence within the Aztec Empire in the early 15th century through its leader, Nezahualcoyotl.
A separate discussion of Texcoco is warranted because the Texcocan legal system was highly sophisticated and had various important differences compared to the legal system in Tenochtitlan.
First, Nezahualcoyotl formally codified 80 laws for his empire that were divided into four parts. The enforcement of each part was left to four different supreme councils: the War Council, the Treasury Council, the Council of Music, Arts, and Sciences, and the Legal Council. The first three councils were made up of one representative from each of the 15 provinces in the empire. The War Council enforced laws concerning the military, including disputes over captives, battlefield conduct, and wartime treason. The Treasury Council enforced laws related to merchants and tribute collectors. The Council of Music, Arts and Sciences handled cases involving artisans and priests. This Council also regulated the schools and licensed teachers.
The Supreme Legal Council handled criminal, civil, and property matters. Decisions by local and provincial judges were appealed to this council, which was made up of six sets of two judges from the various geographic regions. These cases could in turn be appealed to two supreme judges, who issued sentences only with the approval of the Texcocan ruler. The Texcocan ruler turned to his divine tribunal for advice on serious cases and death sentences, had a separate ruler's tribunal to handle less critical matters, and was advised by 14 great lords on political and legal issues affecting the empire. As with the legal system in Tenochtitlan, cases had to be resolved within 80 days. There is some evidence that judges followed precedent, and also made decisions based on what was reasonable under the circumstances of the specific cases.
Although Texcocan laws were strictly enforced, Nezahualcoyotl was merciful. He had corn planted along public roads so that hungry individuals could eat and not be accused of theft. The Texcocan ruler gave food and clothing to the needy and to wounded soldiers.
Second, the Texcocan empire had highly complex property laws. Land was divided into diffetent categories. Tlatocamilli land was royal land that was farmed by calpulli members for the benefit of the ruler. Tecpantlalli lands were lands on which the royal palaces were located. Commoners worked these lands and were employed as palace servants. Calpulalli were calpulli lands designated for use by commoners. Pillalli lands belonged to minor lords. These lands could not be sold, but could be passed on to heirs or would otherwise revert back to the state. Tecpillalli lands belonged to minor lords related to ancient lords, and to merit-worthy warriors and other individuuals. These lands could be sold to other nobles. 
Finally, the Texcocans had complex inheritance and succession rules. Children had the legal right to inherit property from their fathers, and could only be disinherited for violence, cowardice, cruelty, or wastefulness. Among nobles, the first born son was usually the first in line to receive the inheritance. However, if he was deemed unsuitable, a different son was selected based on his merit and abilities. Commoners tended to divide their property equally among the offspring of the deceased, and there is some evidence to suggest that women inherited property.

Los Xochimilcas; De 1940 a 1970 y un poco mas… Este grupo se destacó por su singular estilo para hacer la música ya que en aquellos tiempos el hacer música era algo muy serio que necesitaba de mucho estudio y preparación, (ahora aunque igual de serio el asunto hay mas libertad para crear cosas diferentes), en aquel entonces se tenían que cuidar muchos detalles, algunos tan simples como el hecho de que la gente no notara el momento de agarrar aire en el transcurso de una canción, parte de esto fue lo que hizo de este un grupo tan especial. Pero cada uno de los músicos era extraordinario en su instrumento, por ejemplo, el contrabajista al que apodaban Glostora (nombre de un artículo para el pelo de aquel entonces), no solamente dominaba su instrumento sino que hasta se montaba realmente en él y al momento que tocaba se equilibraba, o en otras ocasiones en su papel de homosexual se bajaba del escenario para ir a sentarse en las piernas de algunos de los espectadores lo cual provocaba un alboroto en aquellos tiempos. Pero el trompetista y vocal principal del grupo no se quedaba atrás; en cuanto a singularidad se refiere, en aquel entonces se hacían unos festivales (llamados festivales cerveza estrella) en la arena coliseo de esta ciudad, la cual no era un lugar muy pequeño que digamos, pues cuenta la gente que asistía a dichos festivales que el trompetista MARTIN ARMENTA no necesitaba micrófono más que para cantar y que aún así con griterío del público y los otros instrumentos de los otros músicos, el con la pura potencia de sus pulmones inundaba el lugar entero con su sonido, incluso este músico llegó a ser considerado uno de los mejores trompetistas de aquellos tiempos.

MEXICAS
Tumblr media
¿QUIENES FUERON?
Mexica es el término que se utiliza para referir a los habitantes de Tenochtitlan, una ciudad construida en el siglo XIV en una isla en el Lago Texcoco –conocida actualmente como la ciudad de México–. Muchas veces, los términos azteca y mexica (se pronuncia me-shí-ca) se usan como sinónimos, pero su significado es distinto. Azteca es un término más general que se refiere en conjunto a todos los pueblos cuyos orígenes se atribuyen a un legendario lugar llamado Aztlán. Estos grupos incluyen los mexicas, los tepanecas, los chichimecas, los xochimilcas y otros. Todos los grupos aztecas hablaban náhuatl
Tumblr media
-¿CUAL FUE SU ARTE MAS RELEVANTE?
Las esculturas aztecas, elaboradas con piedra y terracota tuvieron la característica principal su monumentalidad que representan las ideas de fuerza y grandeza del pueblo mexica.
Tumblr media
LITERATURA
Tumblr media
LOS CÓDICES MEXICAS
En muchos sentidos, el esplendor cultural que tanto asombró a los españoles a su llegada a la Cuenca de México era producto de un desarrollo milenario. Para entonces los mexicas eran el grupo dominante pero mucho de sus prácticas culturales, de su modo de ver el mundo, eran de algún modo herencia de quienes les antecedieron. Es posible que el uso de códices fuera una de esas prácticas heredadas. Las crónicas de quienes tuvieron contacto con los mexicas dan cuenta de una sociedad compleja y dan noticia del uso extendido de libros para distintos fines. Los ejemplares prehispánicos y los realizados en las primeras épocas coloniales pero con criterios esencialmente prehispánicos –tanto en los modos de representación, como en el manejo de la información– abarcan de hecho distintos tópicos. El Códice Borbónico y el Tonalámatl de Aubin presentan un contenido calendárico ritual (como en los casos de los códices del Grupo Borgia y los mayas), la Tira de la Peregrinación es de carácter histórico (al igual que los códices mixtecos) y la Matrícula de Tributos y la sección correspondiente del Códice Mendoza tienen contenido económico (un tema para el que son el único ejemplo del periodo prehispánico y colonial temprano). Esta diversidad de temáticas es indicativa por si misma de la importancia de estos libros y de la distintas utilidades que se les atribuían. Estos y otros documentos ahora desaparecidos fueron fundamentales para los primeros estudiosos de la sociedad mexica, como fray Bernardino de Sahagún y fray Diego Durán, y lo siguen siendo para los investigadores contemporáneos.
EL SOL MEXICA
Para la cosmovisión nahua el Sol simbolizaba la vida, y su trayectoria reflejaba su lucha contra la muerte. Los mexicas creían que cada día el astro transitaba por el mundo de los vivos hasta el atardecer, cuando moría para recorrer el inframundo, al tiempo que fertilizaba la tierra.
Tumblr media
LOS PENACHOS
El penacho de plumas de Quetzalcóatl como el arriba descrito recibe en náhuatl el nombre de quetzalapanecáyotl, “la quetzalidad de los apanecas”, según Zelia Nuttall (1892). Representa un quetzal completo con las alas extendidas; el cuerpo es la parte de plumas más alta, al centro, con la cola hacia arriba y la cabeza, que tenía un pico de oro que desapareció, hacia abajo (Nuttall, 1904, p. 11).

Characters from a story about a newbie pochtecatl and an unruly calmecac youth (a young vanguard merchant and a student in ancient Mexico) I’m currently writinggg I am so eager to show it to my friends for input and proof reading, but the ***renovation drama*** keeps delaying it. I’ve posted conceptual art of these two previously! The story is meant to be published in comic form later. I’ve spent a lot of time reading codex texts, more in-depth university publications and any and all material I can get my paws on regarding the time and era. I’m sure I’ll still get a lot of things wrong- but I am doing a very honest attempt to stay respectful and true to the historical setting while still allowing myself to write a (hopefully) exciting and emotional story. It’s homoromantic/gay but it feels a bit ethnocentric to use modern western terms like that describing even a fictional mlm relationship between people in a time and place so far detached. The more I read about the Mexica, Tepaneca, Acolhua, Huaxteca, Xochimilca and so forth to build a mental image of the area around 15th century Tenochtitlan/Tlatelolco (and Lake Texcoco itself) the more fascinated and eager to make a good job I get ;;w;; Amazing civilizations, amazing historical setting, genuinely. I love. Passion project for sure.

PUEBLOS INDÍGENAS EN MÉXICO
Nahuas
Los nahuas están conformados por varios grupos étnicos el jesuita Xavier Clavijero señaló que se trataba de siete grupos: Mexicanos, Tlahuicas, Colhuas, Tlaxcaltecas, Tepanecas, Cholcas y Xochimilcas que comparten la lengua náhuatl en alguna de sus variantes. Los españoles los llamaron Aztecas porque los nahuas decían provenir de Aztlán, lugar de la garza. Actualmente hay más de 2 millones de nahuas en México, por lo que son el grupo con más hablantes de una lengua indígena en nuestro país.

Fiestas de Primavera y la Flor más bella del Ejido.
Fiestas de Primavera y la Flor más bella del Ejido. A veces pienso que hablo solo, para mi mismo. 
Me acuerdo del señor que mañana a mañana monologa… y como dicen los clásicos se me pasa.Entre las hermosas tradiciones perdidas, de las que quedan cada día menos contemporáneos para recordarlas, se encuentran las Fiestas de Primavera, con desfile florido por las calles y la marcha de la Reina de la fiesta, una hermosa joven que en su mayoría era capturada por el mundo de la farándula.Era una fiesta popular que se extendia a la Alameda. Allí se instalaban los puestos de enchiladas placeras, buñuelos, había rehiletes, cornetines, muchas flores y gran alegría familiar.
El otro festejo por estas fechas, era la eleccion de la Flor más bella del Ejido, titulo que mantenían prácticamente reservado los xochimilcas. Ocasionalmente se lo apropiaban otra de las delegaciones rurales.
En homenaje al pueblo bueno y sabio, deberíamod recuperar estas tradiciones, escencia de nuestro ser patriótico. Para tal fin, candidatas habemus…

INAH Finds an Aztec Water Structure Depicting the Beginning of Time
INAH has found a stone shrine in a pond that depicts the Aztec idea of the design of the universe. The shrine was found at Nahualac, near the Iztaccihuatl volcano. Ceramics, lithic, lapidaries were also found. The stones portray a miniature universe. The stones are placed so that they look like they are floating on the water. The Mexica creation myth saw a world of water. The earth monster, Cipactli, floated on the water, and from his body, the earth was created. INAH believes that there was a ritual control of water from nearby springs to irrigate the pond which made it appear that the structure was floating on the water. The structure evokes the primitive waters and the beginning of time. The Nahualac site has two parts, the pond shrine and nearby areas with ceramics dedicated to the storm god Tlaloc. International Business Times has the report here with photos; http://www.ibtimes.co.uk/depiction-mythical-aztec-universe-discovered-natural-pond-near-mexicos-iztaccihuatl-volcano-1653737

Aztec Structure Uncovered at Plaza Pino Suarez, Mexico City
INAH have uncovered an Aztec structure in the Plaza Pino Suarez in Mexico City. The structure is very close to the Ehecatl Temple inside the Pino Suarez metro station. This was within a calpulli or district of Cuezcontitlan which enabled fast and efficient distribution of agricultural products in the partialities of Teopan (also called Zoquipan or Xochimilca) and Moyotlan. There are fragments of Aztec III and IV ceramics (1430-1521) at the site.

Los pueblos con menor número de personas debían de entregar a las autoridades del imperio pesados tributos en especie al gobierno mexica. Los tributos se fijaban de acuerdo con los recursos disponibles en cada región; por ejemplo, los totonacas de Cempoala aportaban con lanzas, escudos de plumas y caracoles marinos y los xochimilcas con productos agrícolas como maíz, porotos y ají.
