[Aztlan] Teotihuacan and Pánuco

Also one must take into account that the lines were created using star triangulation.Without such a mechanism, there could never have been such accuracy.

This phenomenon may be familiar to some of you already, but it was new to me.

Open Google Earth and go to these coordinates:  22° 3'9.32"N 98°10'58.19"W

Mark the spot with a placemark and then go to these coordinates:  19°41'9.04"N 98°50'53.19"W

Now, using the ruler feature, draw a straight line (this will require some zooming in and out to scoot it between placemarks) from one point to the other.  Return to the second spot, zoom in, and examine the line you've just drawn.

What you'll discover is that a line drawn between the center of Pánuco (the first coordinate) and the center of Teotihuacán) corresponds exactly to the orientation of the Avenue of the Dead, even though the distance is one of over 270 km.

Pánuco, which figures prominently in the events of the Conquest, has a long association with stories of Quetzalcoatl.  I'm still not clear on whether its location relative to Teo is just a coincidence or could be the result of intentional planning, either by the Spanish or earlier town planners.

What's the best explanation?

Thanks,

John Hoopes
