Description

Event timing and star lore can be used to identify associated asterisms both in Mesoamerica and the American Southwest.  The findings are given greater weight due to correlations between the two areas.  This presentation will focus on Tezcatlipoca, Quetzalcoatl, Tlaloc, and Chalchiuhtlicue, along with their counterparts at Hopi.
