Annals of Cuauhtitlan

A portion of a post-conquest Aztec work called Codex Chimalpopoca. The portion called Anales de Cuauhtitlan deals with the history of pre-Hispanic central Mexico, including the story of the priest-king Quetzalcoatl. Interestingly, the Codex Chimalpopoca has been mislaid by the Instituto Nacional de Antropología e Historia in Mexico City. As a result, the codex is now known only through photographs and copies.

Laban Shrewsbury said the Annals of Cuauhtitlan contains lore of the Nahua Indians of Mexico. The work includes an account of an "endless night," which Shrewsbury believed occurred during the battle between the Elder Gods (1) and the Great Old Ones (3). [AWD Island]
