[Aztlan] Mystery culture in central Mexico

[michael ruggeri]

Listeros,

Several stone sculptures and a pyramid were found in the valley of  
Tulancingo in central Mexico 15 years ago along with 41 other  
artifacts. Many are sitting figures and some have conical hats with  
snakes at the base which appear to be Quetzalcoatl like. They are  
painted blue or green. They date to 600-900 CE. They appear to be of  
an unknown culture now called "Huajomulco." Some of the artifacts were  
found near the Huapalcalco pyramid in Hidalgo. The pottery, grey and  
reddish-brown does not fit other cultures. This site grew after the  
fall of Teotihuacan. There is renewed speculation about these  
artifacts and pyramid.

National Geographic has the story here with one picture of the pyramid  
but unfortunately no pictures of the artifacts;
