Regarding the Tlachtli analisis, I have read in several documents that there was a constelation of stars that was called Tlachtli. I can´t find the primary source where is mention, does someone knows about this? Exept that in Sahagun´s work, we can find it in the nawas constellation drawings. It´s image C, here is a link to the image http://mexicoantiguo.org/imagenes/constelaciones.gif

I belive this constelation to be the modern Geminis, because of it´s form and it´s importance in the sky close to the invernal solstice  around 4000 years ago.

It´s a wonderfull group this list, have a good day.


Pedro
