Revisionist history with a pretty obvious political agenda.

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

[Arkinsaw]

Modern day Mexicans are primarily the descendants of the original conquerors of the Aztecs. Odd that they are claiming the banner of the Aztecs as if they and the Aztecs are one and the same ("La Raza").

University of Utah ethnic studies professor Armando Sol-rzano . . . .

No axe to grind here! < /sarcasm>

As a Mexican American, Rodriguez long had pondered the historical location of Aztlan...........

What the h--- was a Mexican American in the 1700s?

[Mudbug]

Acting upon a command from a spirit, these people left Aztlan and went south until they came upon an eagle devouring a serpent in the present-day location of Mexico City

Interesting notion - claiming that property was abandoned to prove ownership.

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.

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.

[Elsie]

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.......

"Beyond here lay MONSTERS!!!"

[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....

[machman]

Hays-Gilpin believes that people speaking a proto-Uto-Aztecan language domesticated maize in central Mexico more than 5,000 years ago, and consequently spread north to an area of the American West that could have included Utah. Out of that multitude of cultures, some groups could have migrated south to northern Mexico, and some of those could have, as she says, "moved to the Valley of Mexico and subjugated some of the confused and bedraggled remnants of the latest 'regime change.' "

Let's face it, people moved north, south, east, west, back north, turned east, yada yada yada. This is what humans have done for countless thousands of years.

If they really want to find the "homeland", they need to go back to asia.

***This concept resonates with Utah Division of Indian Affairs Director Forrest Cuch, a member of the Northern Ute Tribe, who remembers his grandmother telling him his people came from the south. Could the Utes and the Aztecs' ancestors also have lived in close contact in modern-day Utah? ***

If Forrest's grandma says it happened, that settles it for me.

This jerk digs up a map made by a Spaniard in the 1700's which supposedly pinpoints the location of the Aztec homeland from which they migrated sometime prior to the 1400's and accepts this as fact?????

Since the Aztecs had no historical records in the sense that we employ that term or even in the sense that people like the Ancient Egyptians or Greeks had historical records, we are supposed to belief this???

Give me a break!!

I think Aztlan is REALLY in Iraq, somewhere around Bagdad.
I found an "old map" by an American historian drafted in 2002 which proves it!!!

Should I send this dingbat a copy free of charge??
