[Aztlan] AZTEC TAX RECORDS DECODED

[michael ruggeri]

Listeros,

Scientists have decoded Aztec records showing how the Aztecs measured  
tracts of land for taxation. Records from the Aztec city of  
Tepetlaoztoc record each household and amount of land owned for tax  
purposes. Codices from 1540-44 survive from that city. Five  
algorithims were used using hearts, hands, and arrows for measuring  
fractions. The records are meticulous and well organized.
