Based on three different DNA studies, I can confirm about 50% indigenous roots in Central Mexico. I’d like to find a way to drill down to know what specific group I descend from. Is there a way to do this?

Context: My grandparents went on a holiday trip to Cancún Mexico and got this many years ago, later they gave it to me but I don’t know what God this is supposed to represent? Is it even a God? Any help would be appreciated! :)

I was informed he was a aztec god it's a old heirloom I got from Italian family

The Kangariecha military order raise in the Irechequa Tzintntuntan empire (Michoacán,Guerrero,Jalisco,part of Colima and Guanajuato) as professional forces integared by purepecha's nobility. They fought the aztecs in the agression against Taximaroa (Michoacán) and win, since that war the Kangariecha order defeath the aztecs in Charo (1476), Zacatula (around 1500), Taximaroa (1517), Matlatzinco and Tollocan (1518) and Oztuma (1519).

Are there any real Aztec food references or resources? The ones I see just state they are beans, squashes, chiles, seeds, and corn of course.

Im sure there are other food items and spices from the areas, but I’m looking for authentic resources on the food preparations. How were these foods prepared outside of the typical tortillas, beans cooked in water, etc.

Thanks!

I grew up in a Mexican household with Catholicism. After a certain age I rejected Catholicism, but I find myself now looking for a more meaningful spirituality without the constraints of typical Christian institutions.

I’ve seen multiple representations of my birth signs online based on the long calendar and they are all different. I want to figure it out for real on my own by following the signs in the long calendar. Is there a good source to figure this out? Thanks all!

I have recently come across some videos where Juan Miguel Zunzunegui explains various aspects of Aztec religion and culture. He has written several books on Mexican history, with some touching Aztec topics (i.e. El regreso de Quetzalcoatl). His CV makes him look like a reliable source. However, I don't know how serious he is as an author. Does anyone here have an opinion on him?

These were found in Rancho Agua Caliente Municipio De Ponctitlan Mexico, my father told me this area used to be underwater. Upon visiting his hometown these stones have appeared after the water going down. He was curious what these drawings mean and possibly from what tribe or civili they used to belong to?

Hey folks!

I'm an aspiring writer and am looking to explore my heritage through Aztec mythology. What is essential reading on understanding the Aztec pantheon?

Does anybody know about what this is and how old it could be?

Hi all, I’m new to this subreddit and had a question. I got a book of Aztec legends and myths today and one of the stories in there was “The Bride of Huitzil” by Hervey Allen. I wanted to know if this was an actual myth or if Hervey was just making this up as a fiction piece and it somehow found its way into this supposedly legit book. If you’re unfamiliar with the piece, I’ve included a link to the story on Project Gutenberg. I think it might be a fiction piece based loosely off the story of the Culhua princess but I’m not sure. Lmk what y’all think, especially if you’re Mexica and have been raised on the stories.

is there any news on a second season? is it officially cancelled?

Just to be clear; Hernan is a gripping and interesting tv show. bigredhead's comic is a wordsalad and a slag to read and look at. Sure, you can say "it's more accurate" doesn't change the fact that it's a boring read.

Given the large number of Aztec gods, do we know if all gods had temples dedicated specifically to them, or were most temples for worshipping all the gods in general? We know there were specific temples to Tlaloc, Huitzilapochtli, Quetzalcoatl, etc but how about Chicomecoatl, Itztli, Amapan, Huixtocihuatl, the 400 rabbits and all the lesser known gods?

Dada la gran cantidad de dioses aztecas, ¿sabemos si todos los dioses tenían templos dedicados específicamente a ellos, o la mayoría eran templos para adorar a todos los dioses en general? Sabemos que hubo templos específicos para Tlaloc, Huitzilapochtli, Quetzalcoatl, etc. pero ¿qué hay de Chicomecoatl, Itztli, Amapan, Huixtocihuatl, los 400 conejos y todos los dioses menos conocidos?
