Has INAH Found Mount Coatepec, the Birth Place of Huitzilopochtli?

INAH has found that new technologies and new information on the northern
frontier of Mesoamerica may have led them to the location of Coatepec in
the Valley of the Mezquital in Hidalgo. In the past, a stone snake’s head,
perhaps a Xiucoatl used to kill Coyolxauhqui’s brothers, stucco floors,
blue paint, and symbols were found. The symbols may relate to
Coyolxauhqui. In the Mexicayotl Chronic Tezozomoc Alvarado , the
Cuauhtitlan and the Florentine Codex , there are references to its
proximity to Tula, located 35 miles away. Villagers in the area still
today still perform rituals related to Huitzilopochtli on the hill in
question.

INAH has the report on the studies here;
