Mexica (Aztec) Sites

Mexica, or Aztec, sites cover the religious geography of the Mexica people specifically, the Nahuatl-speaking empire centered on Tenochtitlan, rather than Mesoamerican religion in general, which this atlas tracks as its own broader grouping for cultures and sites that do not fit one named people. A site is filed here when the record ties it to Mexica state religion and cosmology in particular, human sacrifice, the calendar priesthood, the cult of Huitzilopochtli, rather than to the wider family of Mesoamerican traditions that preceded and surrounded it.
