Just out of curiosity, when did they change the name from Aztecs to Huaztecs, and why?
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.
The prophesy of Hillary's presidency.
Sad stuff...
“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.

ah...the Huastecs idea of the perfect woman
I can remember as a child growing up in the 50’s a fascination I had with reading paleontological books. The dinosaurs the “scientists” wrote about then no longer exist. New dinosaurs have emerged. Even the prehistoric men they re-created were from such minuscule fragments of bone as to qualify more for fraud than science. This is a field notorious for their acrobatics if not their science.

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 women on each side are thought to represent priestesses, and the liquid represents the life force, while the woman at the center represents Mother Earth; so the priestesses seem to be nurturing the Earth with their life force. The truth is, however, nobody knows for sure what these stones mean."...although it appears to mean that one woman has just cut off the heads of two other women, either a some sort of human sacrifice, or as a consequence of some kind of cat fight."
One thing is fairly certain -- because of the recurrence of the number 13, the monolith seems to be a lunar calendar of some sort. That's why it set the archaeological world abuzz with discussion when it was unveiled last November. It is believed to have been created around 600 B.C. -- 2,000 years before what was previously the oldest discovered calendar in the Americas, the Aztec Calendar, which dates to A.D. 1400.Huh? The Mayan calendar is now very well understood, and antedates the Aztec calendar.
The monolith seems to have been toppled from its original location, broken into pieces and covered with mud. Ahuja estimates the time period at about the same time that several coastal cities were flooded, probably by a tsunami-type surge, around 300 B.C.Catastrophism angle, nice touch! Thanks Blam.

What will future archaeologists say when the discover the fountain/sculpture of the little boy pissing from our current era?
