The Story of History Education
The indigenous civilizations of the Americas, such as the Maya, Aztecs, and Inca, were either briefly mentioned or portrayed as primitive societies that were ultimately supplanted by European settlers.
Genesis contains a history of Atlantis
The Aztec legend says, "The sun was much nearer the earth then than now, and his grateful warmth rendered clothing unnecessary."
Corroborating Circumstances
An "Atlas" mountain on the shore of Africa; an "Atlan" town on the shore of America; the "Atlantes" living along the north and west coast of Africa; an Aztec people from Aztlan, in Central America; an ocean rolling between the two worlds called the "Atlantic;" a mythological deity called "Atlas" holding the world on his shoulders; and an immemorial tradition of an island of Atlantis.
The Indentity of the Civilizations of the Old World and the New
Quetzalcoatl, the founder of the Aztecs, condemned all sacrifice but that of fruits and flowers.
693.) The embalmment of the body was also practised in Central America and among the Aztecs.
The Aztecs, like the Egyptians, mummified their dead by taking out the bowels and replacing them with aromatic substances.
He further shows satisfactorily that the majority of the names of the twenty days employed by the Aztecs are
Not only infant baptism by water was found both in the old Babylonian religion and among the Mexicans, but an offering of cakes, which is recorded by the prophet Jeremiah as part of the worship of the Babylonian goddess-mother, "the Queen of Heaven," was also found in the ritual of the Aztecs.
called pachisi, is played upon a cross-shaped board or cloth; it is a combination of checkers and draughts, with the throwing of dice, the dice determining the number of moves; when the Spaniards entered Mexico they found the Aztecs playing a game called patolli, identical with the Hindoo pachisi, on a similar cross-shaped board.
The Deluge Legends of America
Paintings retracing the deluge of Coxcox have been discovered among the Aztecs, Miztecs, Zapotecs, Tlascaltecs, and Mechoacaneses.
The learned Abbé Brasseur de Bourbourg translates from the Aztec language of the "Codex Chimalpopoca" the following Flood legend:
"In one day and one fatal night," says Plato, "there came mighty earthquakes and inundations that ingulfed that warlike people." "In a single day all was lost," says the Aztec legend.
And the Lord smelled a sweet savor; and the Lord said in his heart, 'I will not again curse the ground any more for man's sake.'" In the Chaldean legend we are told that Khasisatra also offered a sacrifice, a burnt offering, "and the gods assembled like flies above the master of the sacrifice." But Bel came in a high state of indignation, just as the Aztec god did, and was about to finish the work of the Deluge, when the great god Ea took ''pity in his heart and interfered to save the remnant of mankind.
These resemblances cannot be accidental; neither can they be the interpolations of Christian missionaries, for it will be observed the Aztec legends differ from the Bible in points
The name of the hero of the Aztec story, Nata, pronounced with the broad sound of the a, is not far from the name of Noah or Noe.

In each case we see the crooked mountain of the Aztec legends, the Calhuacan, looking not unlike the bent mountain of the monk, Cosmos.
.306.) The Aztecs also claimed to have come originally from Aztlan.
321.) Their very name, Aztecs, was derived from Aztlan.
23) describes an Aztec picture in the work of Gemelli ("Il giro del mondo," vol.

The Deluge Legends of Other Nations
The mountain is as crooked as Culhuacan, the crooked mountain of Atzlan described by the Aztecs.

These groups became known as the Aztecs, Mayans, Anasazi, and Hopi.
The Story of Atlantis
The Toltecs of Mexico traced themselves back to a starting-point called Atlan or Aztlan; the Aztecs also claimed to come from Aztlan (see Bancroft's Native Races, vol.
Indeed so dominant and so endowed with vitality was this race that intermarriages with the following sub-races failed to modify the type, which still remained essentially Toltec; and hundreds of thousands of years later we find one of their remote family races ruling magnificently in Mexico and Peru, long ages before their degenerate descendants were conquered by the fiercer Aztec tribes from the north.
Dominated all through the centuries by their more powerful Toltec neighbours, it was yet reserved for a small branch of the Turanian stock to conquer and replace the last great empire that the Toltecs raised, for the brutal and barely civilized Aztecs were of pure Turanian blood.
It was only with the coming of the savage Aztecs that the harmless Mexican ritual was supplemented with the blood of human sacrifices, which drenched the altars of their war-god, Huitzilopochtli, and the tearing out of the hearts of the victims on the summit of the Teocali may be regarded as a direct survival of the elemental-worship of their Turanian ancestors in Atlantis.
The Lost Civilization of Atlantis
The Aztecs, for example, spoke of Aztlan, a lost land across the sea, while the Irish told stories of Tír fo Thuinn (the Land Beneath the Waves) (5).
Andromedans 17th (Contact) Tour of an Andromedan Star Craft
Once aboard, Robert encountered an Andromedan commander named Turisq, who referred to Robert as "Earth Bird." The commander was described as over 2 meters tall with blonde and orange hair styled in a way reminiscent of ancient Hawaiian or Aztec rulers.
Chalchiuhtlicue
Chalchiuhtlicue, whose name translates to "She of the Jade Skirt," was an important deity in Aztec mythology.
In one Aztec creation myth, Chalchiuhtlicue is credited with bringing about a great flood that reshaped the world.
Together, they governed the cycles of rain and drought, critical elements for the agrarian Aztec society.
The Aztecs conducted these rituals to ensure plentiful rains and fertile lands.
Pleiades and Orion
Tlahuizcalpantecuhtli: In Aztec mythology, Orion's belt was associated with Tlahuizcalpantecuhtli, a manifestation of Quetzalcoatl, one of their important gods.
The Olympian Gods
Primordial State: In Aztec mythology, the earlier gods, including the Earth goddess Coatlicue and her offspring, represented older, more chaotic forces.
Result: The dominance of Huitzilopochtli symbolized the establishment of cosmic order and the importance of the sun in Aztec cosmology.
The 5 Suns
In Aztec mythology, the creation and destruction of the world are explained through the concept of the "Five Suns." Each sun represents an era or age in which the gods created and then destroyed the world in various cataclysmic events.
Nahui-Ocelotl, also known as the "Jaguar Sun" or the "First Sun," is the first era in Aztec mythology.
Tezcatlipoca is one of the central deities in Aztec mythology.
The myth of Nahui-Ocelotl emphasizes the Aztec belief in the cyclical nature of creation and destruction, with each sun or era ending in a dramatic, transformative event.
Nahui-Quiahuitl, also known as the "Rain Sun" or the "Third Sun," is one of the ages in Aztec mythology.
Tlaloc was a prominent deity in Aztec mythology, associated with agriculture and sustenance through rain.
Significance: This era's end by water is a significant representation of the destructive power of water in Aztec mythology.
This belief underpinned the Aztec practice of human sacrifice.
Timeline of the Four Worlds

Aztec: Tlaloc (rain god), Chalchiuhtlicue (goddess of rivers).
Aztec: Flood associated with the end of the Fourth Sun.
Aztec Mythology (Five Suns): The Aztecs believed in five creation cycles, each ending in a cataclysm.
Aztec Fourth Sun: Ending in cold and ice before the flood cycle.
Aztec: People of previous Suns had different forms, like the monkey transformation.
Why much of Ancient American history is lost
1519-1521: Hernán Cortés conquers the Aztec Empire.
Consequence: Collapse of the Aztec civilization, massive population decline, and forced labor systems.
Estimate: The population of the Aztec Empire decreased from about 25 million to less than 2 million.
Consequence: Similar devastation as seen with the Aztecs, including forced labor (encomienda and mita systems) and cultural erasure.

Mummification
Donnelly's text provides details on how the Egyptians and Aztecs performed mummification by extracting the bowels and replacing them with aromatic substances.
The Colonies of Atlantis
The Aztec religion had many parallels with Old World beliefs, including confession, absolution, and baptism.
The Aztecs progressed through three writing stages: picture-writing, symbolic, and phonetic.
The Pyramid, the cross and the Garden of Eden
349, says, "It is a significant fact that in the map of their migrations, presented by Gemelli, the place of the origin of the Aztecs is designated by the sign of water, Atl standing for Atzlan, a pyramidal temple with grades, and near these a palm-tree." This circumstance did not escape the attention of Humboldt, who says, I am astonished at finding a palm-tree near this teocalli.
If the reader will turn to page 104 of this work he will see, in the midst of the picture of Aztlan, the starting-point of the Aztecs, according to the Botturini pictured writing, a pyramid with worshippers kneeling before it.
If the reader will again turn to page 104 of this work he will see that the tree appears on the top of the pyramid or mountain in both the Aztec representations of Aztlan, the original island-home of the Central American races.
We find the pyramid on both sides of the Atlantic, with its four sides pointing, like the arms of the Cross, to the four cardinal points-a reminiscence of Olympus; and in the Aztec representation of Olympos (Aztlan) we find the pyramid as the central and typical figure.
Genesis Contains a History of Atlantis
The Aztec legend says, "The sun was much nearer the earth then than now, and his grateful warmth rendered clothing unnecessary."
The Annals of the CakchiQuels
The occurrence of the Aztec name of the City of Light, Tulan (properly, Tonatlan), in these accounts, as they were rehearsed by the early converted natives, naturally misled historians to adopt the notion that these divine culture heroes were “Toltecs,” and even in the modern writings of the Abbé Brasseur (de Bourbourg), of M.
The Toltecs were a pre-Aztec civilization in central Mexico, and their capital, Tollan, is thought to have been a major urban center and a place of cultural significance.
The same blending of their most ancient legends with those borrowed from the Aztecs, recurs in the records of the pure Mayas of Yucatan.
There is a slight admixture of Aztec words in Cakchiquel.
But, putting all these together, they form but a very small fraction of the language, not more than we can readily understand they would necessarily have borrowed from a nation with whom, as was the case with the Aztecs, they were in constant commercial communication for centuries.
The Pipils, their immediate neighbors to the South, cultivating the hot and fertile slope which descends from the central plateau to the Pacific Ocean, were an Aztec race of pure blood, speaking a dialect of Nahuatl, very little different from that heard in the schools of classic Tezcuco.
Like the Mayas and Aztecs, they were a race of builders, skillful masons and stone-cutters, erecting large edifices, pyramids, temples, and defensive works, with solid walls of stone laid in a firm mortar.
In a study of this subject, published during the present year, I have set forth their various terms employed in this branch of knowledge, and compared their system with that in use among the Mayas and the Aztecs.
They all indicate loans from the Aztec mythology.
In the Cakchiquel Annals, as in the Popol Vuh and the Maya Chronicles, we hear of the city of the sun god, Tulan or Tonatlan, as the place of their origin, of the land Zuiva and of the Nonoalcos, names belonging to the oldest cycles of myths in the religion of the Aztecs.
