TIL that the Aztecs modeled their capital on the nearby ruins of Teotihuacan, regarding it as “the city of gods”.

Sexuality in Pre-Columbian Mexico

In Camilla Townsend's book Fifth Sun, she recounts how the Mexica king Axayacatl takes a male lover, the poet Quecholcoatl. However, other sources have led me to believe that homosexuality was discouraged in Nahua society, even being punishable by death in Texcoco. Obviously, the probably didn't conceive of sexuality in the way we do now, but it got me thinking:

What sexual practices were acceptable/discouraged among the major civilizations of Mexico from 1400-1500 AD?

This object, called the Tecaxic-Calixtlahuaca Head, was found in a pre-Columbian burial chamber in Mexico in 1933. It resembles a Roman figure and is believed to be evidence of pre-Colombian oceanic travel to the Americas by the Romans. It has been dated to be from 900 BCE-1300 AD.

Where will I go? Well, after a brief stop at Starbucks®, I'll go for a 3 day ride through Baja, Mexico. Lurking Book of Mormon archaeologists will be disappointed to hear that I found no evidence of Pre-Columbian horses, elephants, steel or chariots during my travels.

How was people named in pre-Columbian Mexico?

Today people in mexico are named roughly following Spanish customs. however before the conquista we hear about Moctezuma and similar names. Did precolombian people have only one name? Was there any naming system?
