WTL Brief Curriculum Vitæ |
Photo of WTL (as later day Don Quixote?) taken in front of a windmill (molino de viento) in the Campo de Criptana, La Mancha, Spain, on WTL's camera by the molinero (actually by the guard, not the miller, at the windmills). |
In Náhnatl, "xochitl" means "flower. Here you see an Aztec pictograph of Xochipili (877-916), the Toltec queen, who was the mother of Topiltzin (Topiltzin-Quetzalcóatl), the last priest-ruler-king of the Toltecs at Tula. She led an all-woman batallion in the battle against Tezcalipoca. Topittzin escaped and Xochipili was killed in the battle. |
