Chalchiuhtlicue or Tláloc?

[edit]

I believe this Wikipedia entry has incorrect information about the megalith sculpture found in Texcoco de Mora. Most experts agree that the monolith is an image of the Aztec rain god Tláloc, not Chalchiuhtlicue.

Because all the entires related to this topic are a little confusing, here is a quick summary: "Texcoco de Mora" is a city located in the State of Mexico, and also "Texcoco de Mora" is the municipal seat of the municipality of Texcoco, Mexico. Within the municipality is the nearby town "San Miguel Coatlinchán," also known as "Coatlinchán."

In San Miguel Coatlinchán, a gigantic stone statue was discovered in the mid-nineteenth century, and painter José María Velasco made a painting of it in 1889.

In 1903 archeologist Leopoldo Batres identified it as a representation of the Aztec rain god Tláloc. In the 1960's the stone was moved to Mexico City and put on display at the National Museum of Anthropology.

Today archeologists dispute whether the stone is representation of the male rain god Tláloc, or the female ground water deity Chalchiuitlicue, who was either Tláloc's wife or sister. The majority at this time believe the image to represent Tláloc.

Other names for the sculpture: Monolith of Tláloc, Piedra de los Tecomates, Monolito de Tláloc

Here is a link to the page for this object on the National Anthropology Musuem's website: https://www.inah.gob.mx/foto-del-dia/monolito-de-tlaloc-museo-nacional-de-antropologia

A documentary of the effect of the loss of the sculpture on the inhabitants of the town San Miguel Coatlinchán was made in 2013, called "La Piedra Ausente" or in English translation, "The Absent Stone."

I'm not a Wikipedia expert and usually when I try to edit myself it gets deleted so I am posting this in hopes someone with more expertise could make this correct and perhaps add the link at the end. BestestC (talk) 17:31, 6 February 2025 (UTC)[reply]
