Description
Anales de Tula

The Anales de Tula are undoubtedly one of the most important sources on the pre-colonial history of the Valley of Mexico and the Nahua peoples who lived there, as well as on its colonization. On a 4.87-meter-long strip of amatl paper, key historical events that took place in the region between 1361 and 1521 were recorded in approximately 150 boxes arranged side by side in Nahuatl hieroglyphs – from the births and deaths of significant persons, enthronements and conquests, to natural disasters. This timeline covers somewhat more than three calendar cycles of 52 years each. The last section, beginning in 1510, starts with the appearance of a bad omen and then ends abruptly with several events surrounding the arrival of the Spanish under Hernán Cortés in 1519 and the complete conquest of the Valley of Mexico by the conquistadores in 1521. This invasion is also attested to by the Spanish-language glosses appearing among many of the Aztec records.
