Teotl
Teotes (teteo) means gods. (v3). Likely Teotl is teot-el, god in the highest.In Mexico, the sun god is called Teotl, Ipalnemoani (He by whom we live), Tloque-Nahuaque (He that is all things in himself), Tonacateotle (God, Lord of All, Creator of the World), Governor of all, Tloque, Nauaq, Tlalticpaque, TeotlalaleMatlava-Tepeva. (V3)
We can see that Tonacateotle, the sun (son), is a form of Yohuallatonac, the mother. This again connects the Totonacs to Teotihuacan.
Tamoanchan
Tamoanchan was the first capital of Anáhuae Country. Tamoanchan is just west of the Yucatan peninsula in the Gulf of Mexico. From Tamoanchan certain families went to settle the provinces called Olmeca Vixtoti. (V5)Egyptian Sun-god Tum, the Father in heaven, may be recognized as God Tamoi of the Guaranis of Paraguay and Daurai Caribs Also as the deity of the Caribs named Tamu or Itamoulou. Also as Tomaoteot (the god Toma) who was adored by the Nicaraguans, whose son, Teotbilche, was sent down to save mankind.
PetenAtum-Ra, son of Ptah, is “Lord of Peten,” the heaven that is related to the number nine; the heaven or zodiac of nine dry signs and the wet quarter. Peten or Putten is from Pet or (earlier) Put. The heaven of the Put circle is so ancient that it reappears by name in the sacred Lake Peten in Central America. In this there was an island, and its chief temple formed a kind of pyramid having nine steps or tiers. It was on this island that existed twenty-one stone temples with stone roofs belonging to the Itzas. The images were so numerous there, that it took over a hundred Spanish conquerors a whole day to destroy them.[And we wonder why we must use multiple ways of knowing and that we can't simply rely on the absence of information as reported by invaders. Lots of stuff was destroyed, lots was stolen and lots is hidden]
Pyramid Lake in Nevada also contains nine islands. Nine islands standing out of the water would offer another figure of the Egyptian nine dry months, or the Put circle of the nine gods: and if the astronomical mythology of Kam was carried into Nevada, we shall be sure to hear of the great serpent lurking in the waters of Lake Pyramid; one with the Apophis of the north and dragon of the deep.
Accordingly we find the Piutes [a name white folks in old westerns use a lot in reference to indians] believing that the Apophis, their devil-snake, lies in wait under the lake just as the lurking devourer does in the Egyptian Ritual. [See also Pah Utes. (v1)]Dr. de Plongeon the Mexican savant and explorer of the ruins of Uxmal asserts that he has exhumed antiquities which bear the most striking resemblance to those found at Heliopolis in Egypt. This was the place of the great temple of Atum the “Lord of Peten.” Peten, the heaven of the nine divisions and of Atum the father-god, is also the possible original of the Assyrian Pitan, a name of Telassar mentioned as a city inhabited by the children of Eden.

Teotihuacan
Teoti + huacanTeoti is gods. Huacas is tombs, thus wombs, cocoons and birthplaces symbolized by mountains and pyramids. (v4)
Teotihuacan (or Teotl) is called a Tamoanchan Nahuan town.
Not quite two miles north-east from the little village of San Juan, and about twenty-five miles in the same direction from Mexico, on the road to Otumba, are the ruins of Teotihuacan, also called (Veitioacan, ‘city of signals,’ and Toltecat). (v4)
Teotihuacan is a name I hear most often when speaking of “ancient” settlements with pyramids.
The two great pyramids of Teotihuacan, dedicated to the sun and moon, are surrounded by
several hundreds of small pyramids that were tombs of princes who were buried there and made gods alter death, and were thought not to have died but to have waked from a sleep. (v5)
Teotihuacan, built by the earlier Totonacs, marks the beginning of the solar mythology in Central America. It is said that there was no sun until God Nanahuatzin cast himself into the fire and rose as the eastern sun.
If there is any doubt as to who the builders of Teotihuacan are, the Rosetta-stone provided the key to deciphering the tablets of Babylon, Ninevah, and the pyramids of Palenque, Copan and Teotihuacan. The Rosetta-stone allowed the hieroglyphic writing, which is the same as that in Egypt and the rest of the Nile Valley to be understood. Thus then it is less important as to which migrants from Africa built Teotihuacan, because they all used close to the same cultures, at least for periods of time. Thus there's no use in present day inhabitants of Central America to claim their ancestors built the ancient cities of Central America and they were of the very lighter color as those today, unless current inhabitants acknowledge Africans as their ancestors all the way back to the darkest and shortest among us.
