Abstract

BIRO, Péter  and  PEREZ DE HEREDIA PUENTE, Eduardo. It is not Impossible: the Arrival of the Toltecs in Chichén Itzá. Estud. cult. maya [online]. 2024, vol.63, pp.77-106.  Epub Aug 26, 2024. ISSN 0185-2574.  https://doi.org/10.19130/iifl.ecm.63.2024/00171s0xw33.

The debate on the relationship between the pre-Hispanic cities of Tula and Chichén Itzá has polarized the interpretation of Mesoamerican history, from those who deny any direct contact, to those who maintain that these contacts existed in the form of invasions or migrations. In this work we present epigraphic evidence reinforcing the direct relationship between both cities, which adds to the considerable iconographic and architectural evidence of such nexus.

Keywords : Chichén Itzá; Mayas; Toltecs; Epigraphy; Early Postclassic.
