Just out of curiosity, when did they change the name from Aztecs to Huaztecs, and why?

The headline: "Gay marriage approved."
Actually, it says "Gay marriages will be approved."

I wonder if the same guys who read all of that from the three figurines might also declare that Venus was the Goddess of Paper Hangers.

A powerful woman stands at the center of the carving, flanked by two smaller decapitated women. A stream of liquid flows from the headless women toward the woman in the center. The prophesy of Hillary's presidency.

About 1450, the Huastecs were defeated by Aztec armies under the leadership of Moctezuma I; the Huastecs henceforth paid tribute to the Aztec Empire but retained a large degree of local self government.

“The truth is, however, nobody knows for sure what these stones mean.”
Exactly! So all the so called experts “know” is speculation. They may be correct but they may not be.

Tooooo much assumption going on. Women as warriors? Not.

I guess the papers' posting a picture of the monolith would have interfered with all the romanticizing over it.

I read a book years ago, about the remains of an ancient civilization that were unearthed - it went on at length, about the significance of the religios shrine at the heart of the ruins..
As the story progressed, it eventually became clear that the shrine, complete with glass alters, etc, was the men’s room at Union Station...

Tooooo much assumption going on. Women as warriors? Not Your statement sounds like an assumption.
There were many cultures who had celebrated women warriors. For one example: Bodacia, (Boadicea) who carried out one of the biggest defeats against Rome...
...
and here's a link to the profiles of some other historic women warriors -

..Why would we assume there were not women warriors in ancient Mesoamerica? Especially in light of their own artifacts?

"Just out of curiosity, when did they change the name from Aztecs to Huaztecs, and why?" They didn't...they were two different people.
