[Aztlan] Tarzan vs Quetzalcoatl

[Marcos Villaseñor]

Thanks for the info and the blog, I can't say I enjoyed the silly  
cartoons, but.... It is sad that all of these movies and media  
productions were made with the imposing backdrop of mesoamerican  
arquitecture but without aknowledgingof the people who made them.   
Even worse when movies are made where these cultures are represented  
to advance questionable ideologies.


Enjoyed the blog very much.
