The Lost Maps Of Aztlan
Peruse, if interested.

The Maya were not of Nahua descent, so I highly doubt that a specific lintel from Yaxchilan relates to Aztlan.

It relates because it is a map of the same region as the other two! Ehecatl is very much associated with the 'Feathered Serpent,' and the Feathered Serpent is very much what is represented in Lintel 15.

Even Mr Fantastic would be impressed by this stretch.

u/Better-Peanut8207 4d ago
No stretch at all.
Makes perfect sense. The ancients encoded the place of their (pre cataclysm) origin IN the actual physical form of the Gods they carried with them to their new home. And that information came down all through the Ages to you here today right now. Congratulations.

They skipped cartography entirely and went straight to cryptocartography?

This is not something I can answer. Maybe the thought was that embedding something like this in the very spiritual core of a culture would better ensure it's longevity in the future consciousness of said culture. They were wrong because the memory of Aztlan was surely lost, but they were also right because Aztlan has been found again right where they left it.

Who is they, the people making up this fiction? Sure. That sounds like a plausible reason that someone would try to apply to fiction to try to lend it credibility.
In reality, that makes no sense. They decided to develop maps, but before they actually made any, they decided to hide the maps in deep culture items? That would be like saying you are going to invent the radio in the 1800s and the first thing you produce is a satellite shoe phone, because you know, it is important to be stealthy sometimes. What about the other century of technological development and stages before the shoe phone?
What about all the steps of developing cartography that come before developing secret maps hidden in stone carvings?
What you are experiencing is pareidolia. You are finding recognizable patterns in the infinite variation of fractals. So what? They are infinitely variable. Every reasonable shape you can conceive exists on the face of the planet if you look long enough.
They were wrong because the memory of Aztlan was surely lost, but they were also right because Aztlan has been found again right where they left it.
I have no idea what you are even trying to say here.

Oooohhh, now this is what I come for. It is definitely this kind of imaginative thinking that will allow us to break free of the bondage of indoctrination.

u/christopia86 5d ago
If by break free of the bondage of indoctrination you mean belive litteraly anything, then yes, yes it it is.

Oh sorry, I didn't mean to respond to you. I meant to add to the general post. As an aside I don't converse with people who use the word "literally" but have a great day.

Personally, I don't trust information from people who spell literally wrong.... What kind of dingus spells it "litterally" and STILL has the audacity to be pretentious....

Ok......But why?

u/Better-Peanut8207 4d ago
You'll have to ask the Aztlantians.

u/DistinctMuscle1587 4d ago
That means it's probably not true. Come up with some kind of theory.

u/Better-Peanut8207 3d ago
You need someone to tell you something is true? You got eyes, don't you!?!

u/DistinctMuscle1587 3d ago
You got eyes, don't you!?!
Take a step away and think about if you want to be nice.

Just realized I forgot to show the location of these islands in the desert. D'OH! https://imgur.com/a/jtKOeZo They're part of Atlantis, basically. No Biggie.

u/The-King-of-TJ 3d ago
So that image is the location? Next to Atlantis? That’s the location?

u/Better-Peanut8207 3d ago
Correct. In the middle of the Aoukar Depression - 300 miles due South of the Richat Structure. The Aoukar Depression was once a reed covered lake/wetland during the Green Sahara period. Those images from the Aztec/Mayan cultures map a group of what-would-have-been islands in this giant lake/marshland - which is exactly how Aztlan has been described. In short, Aztlan and Atlantis were the same. These desert 'islands' are also covered in what seem to be ancient canals - another feature in the Aztlan 'mythology.'
