Aztlan Affirmed, Part IV: Other Cities, Other Tongues
7 min readSep 9, 2019
This is the fourth entry in my series examining indigenous sources to see what the Nahuas / Aztecs had to say about the legendary land of Aztlān.
The Codex Chimalpopoca was a three-part Nahuatl document (with some passages in Spanish) copied sometime in the early 17th century by Fernando de Alva Cortés Ixtlilxóchitl, a historian descended from the kings of Tetzcohco (more about him later).
I say “was” because it was lost in 1949.
