A team of archaeologists affiliated with Mexico’s National Institute of Anthropology and History (INAH) have unearthed evidence that reveals important information about the ancient Mesoamerican city of Tetelihtic, found in the municipality of Teteles de Avila Castillo in the Mexican state of Puebla in the southeastern part of the country. Based on what the INAH team has found, they now believe that Tetelihtic was actually founded by the Totonacs, a once-powerful Mesoamerican people who built a thriving confederation of cities in the lands of east central Mexico during the Classical Period (200 to 00 AD). Some archaeologists and scholars of ancient history believe that the Totonac people were the real founders of the legendary Mesoamerican city of Teotihuacan as well, and the Totonacs themselves have preserved legends that suggest this is the case.
