The Aztecs, in fact, came from the North. Later on, after they'd established their great city in the lake, they seem to have been responsible for driving the Anasazi out of their cliffside cities.

It's common to find MesoAmerican artifacts throughout the USA ~ they were passed along as tradegoods among other things.

For information on learning Nahuatl, see: http://www.indians.org/welker/nahuatl.htm. The site is introduced with this: "The Aztecs spoke a language called Náhuatl (pronounced NAH waht l). It belongs to a large group of Indian languages which also include the languages spoken by the Comanche, Pima, Shoshone and other tribes of western North America. The Aztec used pictographs to communicate through writing. Some of the pictures symbolized ideas and other represented the sounds of the syllables."

So, the primitive hunter/gatherers of the American West founded the Aztec empire and invented writing.

Not bad for a few centuries' work.

*Am I off by seeing many comparisons of the MezoAmerican/Aztec as well as the So.Amer/Mayan city-states with Egypt's empiric structure?

Among the limited sources on this subject in my personal library, I have a study by Francis Jennings, titled The Invasion of America...the Cant of Conquest. (Published by W.W.Norton & Company, NY, copyright 1975.)
