[Aztlan] Tehuacalco site in Guerrero opened by INAH

[michael ruggeri]

Listeros,

INAH reports that the Tehuacalco Archaeological Zone was inaugurated  
today. Pyramids, petroglyphs and caves where sun cults were celebrated  
exist in the Zone. Tehuacalco peaked between 650-1100 CE. The site is  
the first site of the Yope culture that has been explored. It managed  
to remain independent of the Aztecs because of its remote location. It  
is located between 4 prominent hills marking the 4 cardinal points and  
many structures face east where the sun rises. The petroglyphs are  
dominated by carved human footprints. The caves are man-made and  
places where ritual food was offered to the gods. 54 of these caves  
have been found.

INAH has the details here;
