Listeros,

A stelae form the Cerro Tortuga site on the Oaxacan coast reveals its  
relationship with Teotihuacan. It dates from 200-800 CE. It is 3  
meters high and has cheek symbols and volutes similar to Teotihuacan.  
The person may be Seignior 8E, a Teotihuacan lord who settled on the  
Oaxacan coast. He may be the same person represented at Monte Alban  
that Casos associated with Teotihuacan named 8 Earthquake. The site of  
Cerro Bernal on the Chiapas coast shows a Teotihuacan corridor that  
begins in Guerrero.

The information was presented at the 5th Monte Alban Roundtable  
ongoing in Oaxaca. There was no photo presented by INAH in this  
report. I will look for a photo and send it out if I can find one.

INAH has the report here;
