Whoever wants it more will get it. With Americans now so PC I am betting on the Mexicans kicking our sorry asses in a few years and we will not even resist or will be forbidden from doin so by our own corrupt govt. It will actually be kind of funny seeing all the fat,PC loving stupid gringos running for their lives. Can't we all just get along!

>>Let's spread the word that Aztlan was in Guatemala.

I vote the Middle East. Kill two birds with one stone.

The Aztec king Motecuhzoma I was probably the first to investigate seriously the location of Aztlan. In the 1440s, he sent 60 magicians north for a journey that itself became a legend -- according to chronicler Diego Duran, these pilgrims encountered a supernatural being who transformed them into birds, and they flew to Aztlan.

Are these the fellows responsible for signs of cannabalism found at the Anasazi archaelogical site?

The Mexicans try messing with the Mormons and they'll get their ass handed to them.

"Are these the fellows responsible for signs of cannabalism found at the Anasazi archaelogical site?"

Christy Turner at Arizona State University did that work. I don't know for sure, I would say not because they are said to have come after the Anasazi. (Do a search on Christy Turner)

Sol-rzano tells of arriving in Utah 12 years ago and seeing the Wasatch Mountains and the Great Salt Lake. "I said, 'My God, this is Aztlan.' I felt a spiritual unity with the land, something I had never felt before outside Mexico."

Isn't this proof that Joseph Smith was a true Prophet, and the LDS is the One True Church?

PLEASE don't turn a thread on Archaeology/Antropology into a "religious" thread. There is a special category for that, or you can go to the SmokeyRoom.

Blam spends a lot of time gathering these articles for us and has had to abandon threads in the past that got out of hand.

Thank you for your future courtesy.

Aztecs and their descendents should be entitled to Aztlan.

Let Mexicans have Utah.

But then, we should get to have Mexico (because that's not really their homeland, only Utah is).

[For the Unborn]

More left wing nonsense. I do have to say though as a resident, Utah is a very mystical place. IMO, the most beautiful place on earth.

That was a joke. I should have used the sarcasm indicator, but I'm new to html. Sorry about the confusion :-).

[JudyB1938]

LOL Yeah, gotta use those sarcasm tags. However, I bet you know what I mean, the way people with an agenda will come in and sabotage threads. I ignore them all of the time, except on blam's articles. That's where I draw the line. Sorry for my density in what you said though. Have a great day.

an official map of the Treaty of Guadalupe Hidalgo from 1847 that identifies Utah as the homeland of the Aztecs.

I've seen 'official' old maps that indicated.......

Thanks for your defense Judy. I don't do religion on FR.

[Elsie]

the land of "four waters," where the Colorado, Green and San Juan rivers meet to pour through the Grand Canyon

UHhhh...

That's THREE, not four!

Besides, only TWO 'meet' at a time........

Perhas they want to re-think this and add the Dirty Devil, the Little Colorado, the Kanab Creek, the Bright Angel, the Paria, and numerous intermittant side streams.

[MissAmericanPie]

Kind of like Muslims aren't they? Grab a fable turn it into history and wa lah....
