Talk:Tlillan-Tlapallan

Removed text from Veytia
I've removed the following: Tlapallan was also the name given to the first Toltec settlement in America. Mariano Veytia (1720-1778) in his work entitled Ancient America Rediscovered asserts the Toltecs migrated from the old world after the confusion of tongues at Babel. They migrated through Asia and across the Baring Strait. The trip took 104 years (two centuries among Nahuatl speaking indigenous peoples) until they settled in the area that is today between eastern California and the Sonoran Desert. Later they travelled father south into modern day Mexico and founded a city by the same name. At that point the original Tlapallan became known as Huehuetlapallan (which means old Tlapallan in Nahuatl). Veytia's work is not nowadays regarded as reliable, and indeed on this particular point (Mesoamerican origins) is plainly incorrect. It should be no problem to mention his work here as notable, but it needs to be rewritten to provide the context for which what he claimed (in the 18thC) is viewed by modern scholarship.--cjllw | TALK  04:43, 19 October 2006 (UTC)
