[edit]This entry for "Huematzin" is taken verbatim from the Appleton's Cyclopedia of American Biography. The book is notorious for containing colorful and completely false biographies, at least 200 of them. See http://www.museumofhoaxes.com/cyclopedia.html.
A web search on "Teomaxtly" yielded nothing but references to this article and to the Cyclopedia itself, but a search for "Huematzin" checked out with more credibility, and yielded alternate spellings "Teoamoxtli" and "Teoamochtli" for the work. Those spellings also check out as legit, so this entry appears legitimate.
Appleton's is categorized on its wikipedia page as a reference work in the public domain. If true, then there's no copyright issue for this entry. --Lockley 00:25, 1 November 2006 (UTC)
- The problem is not that Huemac isn't mentioned elsewhere, he is mentioned in Aztec myths about the Toltecs. The problem is that those mentions doesn't prove that he ever existed. He is likely to be an aztec mythological character only. The article presents myth as history. Maunus 04:44, 1 November 2006 (UTC)
