Mesoamerica (inactive)

Various sites state that the name of the pyramid is "Tepanapa", or a spelling variant of that. Is there a reason this is not mentioned in the article? — Hippietrail 15:59, 18 Jun 2005 (UTC) YO VIVO EN CHOLULA EN EL PUEBLO DE SAN AGUSTIN CALVARIO

Questionable "facts"

Fellow editors: This article has a couple of questionable "facts": that Cholula was part of the Aztec empire and that it had a population of 100,000. First, I had not heard tht Cholula was conquered by the Aztecs. Second, 100,000 seems awfully high. M E Smith's study of populations on the eve of the Spanish conquest puts Tenochtitlan at 212,000 with every other town at 30,000 or less. While Cholula's population was not estimated, Texcoco's was, and was pegged at 24,000 and Tzintzuntzan at 30,000. It is hard to believe that Cholula was that much larger.

Any help out there?? Madman 00:46, 26 August 2006 (UTC)[reply]

I think you are right friend Madman, and there's a need for further clarification of sources here. It's probably best to present a range of pop. estimates from such notable sources as one can find (Smith a good example), since not too much on this is known with any great certainty.

Also- as with other Mesoamerican locations where there is a modern settlement atop or adjoining a pre-columbian one, I think it would be useful to split out into separate articles, one for the old, one for the new (which of course can cross-reference each other).

Not saying that I'm about to get around to either of these activities any time soon, just really a placeholder / mention in case anyone else has the desire or time...--cjllw | TALK 08:04, 7 December 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Stub?

This article is pretty short. Short enough to be marked as a stub? It could really use more info... Timebender13 16:27, 18 March 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Largest Man-Made Structure By Volume

This claim was inserted by this edit, the intent of which was merely to move content out to the main pyramid article. However, it changed the claim from largest pyramid/monument to largest structure by volume. However, two larger structures appear on the List of largest buildings in the world. I've weakened the claim back to what the article originally said. --Bazzargh (talk) 10:43, 12 March 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Etymology

What is the source for the etymological name being Acholōllān, and not Cholōllān (which seems to occur elsewhere)? 71.82.211.210 (talk) 05:43, 22 March 2008 (UTC)[reply]
