The museum sounds fascinating

And I met a descendant of Quetzalcoatl.

I am curious to hear more about that

Ah, Quetzalcoatl. What a mythology. I had the pleasure to live near a museum that had magnificent exhibitions of the Aztecs and the Mayas … in the past millennium.
And I met a descendant of Quetzalcoatl. : )
In my next life I’d like to visit Mexico … when the druglords have turned to ash.

Well that’s really cool! And I was right there in January of 2012. So many amazing archaeological sites in Mexico.

I am glad you found it interesting and thanks for your additional information. I am fascinated by anything like this

I certainly wouldn’t try and pronounce the name, I just look at the name as pattern.

Ah, exciting news! All I can say is “finally” – because this part of central-american (and world) history went for too long ignored, as these countries having little or no interest in either learning more about or preserving these ruins – they were unfortunately considered a “pagan” or “savage” embarassment to a now predominantly Christian people.

Interest has increased, however, I think with the myths regarding the advent of the end of the Mayan calendar in 2012 – perhaps these countries realized how lucrative a global interest in these places could be

I’m excited to see what we can learn from what’s left – the identity of the “demi-god” Quetzacoatl has long been a mystery, so I’m hoping that “Teotihuacan” (meaning “the place where men became Gods”) can tell us a bit more about him, as well as how the Aztecs and the Mayans were able to accomplish so many similar technological/scientific achievements to European and Asian cultures, without contact with them yet – in fact, years ahead of them,in many ways.

Thanks for this info, Cherie – one thing I missed in the article, though – did Tlaloc II determine whether it was safe for human entrance yet?:)

(P.S. “Tlaloc” – you need someone from Mayan or Aztec descent can pronounce this god’s name the correct way because we never will
