[Aztlan] David; Date glyphs at Xochicalco

[Bertrand Lobjois]

Even if the archaeological context could help, I don't think it is directly
related  with Quetzalcoatl.
First, because the image of postclassic Quetzalcoatl doesn't exist in
Xochicalco. Xochicalco is an Epiclassic town and the iconography of the
feathered serpent is more related with Teotihuacan or even Chichen Itza.
According to Michel Graulich, this calendar dates could refer to  big change
in mesoamerican calendar. It could mention the beginning of a new calendar.
Graulich argument is that at the Aztec time, Moctezuma did the same thing
for Mexico-Tenochtitlan when he changed the date of the New Fire ceremony.
That's why he doesn't exclude a similar change for Xochicalco.
