Notes
All though there are very few pre-colonial codexes to survive the Spanish Conquest of Meso-America, there are now about 500 codexes identified from both the early colonial period. Careful examination of these texts reveal the likelihood of both an historical and mythological Tenoch. The historical Tenoch (named for the mythical founder of the Mexica peoples) died in 1325. The scribes which created the codexes of the colonial period sought to force the mythology and histories of the pre-colonial Aztecans into the current biblical timeline (6000 years). In doing so, they severely distorted the native timetable of events that appeared in the Aztecan myth cycles (by forcing a very long history into a timetable acceptable to the prejudicial purposes of the priests and colonizers). If one frees the stories of the Aztecs from the artificial biblical constraints imposed by the colonial scribes an interesting tale emerges which promises to provide some innovative but logical answers to some of the mysteries of the origin of mankind.
Similar to the stories of the Asian Zoroastrians, the histories and mythology of the Aztecs preserve a tradition where humans lived in caves to avoid catastrophic environmental conditions. (In the legends of the Zoroastrians it was the onset of the Ice Age during the reign of the king know to various cultures of the Levant, Mesopotamia and the Mediterranian as Japet(Assyrian), Yima Zaeta (Zoroastrian), Thoth (Egyptian), DJehuty (Akkadian), Binadji (Sanscrit), Baphomet (Sumerian), and JHVH (Habiru).
The Aztec legends of Tenoch I are a set of tales regarding a single long migratory period interspersed by periods of civilized domesticity. The earliest of these legends tell of their expulsion from the legendary land of Aztlan (a legendary utopian paradise) followed by migration by sea to the land of Chicomoztoc or "the place of the seven caves" [an underground city where they were subject to martial law]. Each cave represented a different subsequent culture (post Nahuan/Chicomoxtoc group: the Xochimilca, Tlahuica, Acolhua, Tlaxcalan, Tepaneca, Chalca, and Mexica. The legends are unclear with regard to how long the people lived in these conditions, but pick up again with the tale of departure of the Chicomoztecan people from the caves under the leadership of an unnamed Huitzilopohtlean Priest. After a long period of overland migration along a mountain range, the Chicomoztecan people arrived at a place which the Spanish later referred to as Terra Sinagua (Land "Without Water") There they, the Chicomoztecan, split into two tribes: the Anazazi (Plains dwelling Sinaquan - who created pueblos and practiced irrigation), and the Mexica (Cliff dwellers who harvested water that escaped from mountain springs and underground aquifers).
The life of the Mexica people remained largely unchanged until a singular event May 24, 1064 CE, an intense period of vulcanism in the south west marked by the conflagration of Sunset Crater, AZ. Unable to endure the environmental changes that accompanied this disaster, the Mexica people fled south. When they fled they took with them their traditions, language, personal names, legends and place names. Following a period of migration which lasted several generations they arrived in the Toltec territory of Culhuacan ("place of those with ancestors"). There they did their best to make a place for themselves among the land's inhabitants. This latter part of the Aztecan history marks the beginning of the historical period.
