Did Spanish Spin Doctors Change the Name of Teotihuacan to Sabotage the City?


The famous archaeological site of Teotihuacan may have served a different purpose for the Aztecs to what Spanish chroniclers claimed. A possibly deliberate change of the city’s name suggests that it may have been an attempt to remove the high political importance of the city.

The Japan Times reports the Xolotol Codex shows the word "Teohuacan" written underneath a pictogram referring to a city as a combination of sun, temple, and ruler symbols. Teohuacan would be translated as “the city of the sun.”
