Question for November 2011

Coatlícue, insisten los expertos, es la misma diosa Coyoamiqui de León Gama, o la Teoyaomiqui de Moxó, o un palimpsesto de glifos de diferentes dioses. ¿Alguien puede discernir sobre esto?

I cannot get any information about Teoyaotlatohuatl, a god mentioned by León Gama in relation to Coatlícue.
No hallo información sobre Teoyaotlatohuatl, dios mencionado por León Gama in relation to Coatlícue.

A good document would be from Bishop Benito Marin Moxo y Francoly in 1805:

The statue was placed in one of the corners of the spacious University patio, where it remained upright for some time, but in the end it was necessary to bury it once again for a reason that none had foreseen. The Indians, who observe all the monuments of Europeans art with such stupid indifference, came with a lively curiosity to contemplate their famous statue. At first it was thought that they were moved to this by no other incentive than national pride, a characteristic of savage no less than of civilized peoples, and by the pleasure of seeing one of the most outstanding works by their ancestors, which they could see was esteemed by educated Spaniards. Nonetheless, it later came to seem that in their frequent visits there was some secret religious motive. It was thus essential to prohibit their access absolutely; but their fanatical enthusiasm and their incredible cunning made a mockery of this decision. They watched for moments when the patio would be empty of people, especially in the afternoon when, at the conclusion of the academic lessons, all the classrooms are closed. Then they would take advantage of the silence that reigns in this home of the Muses, they would leave their towers and hurry to adore their Goddess Teoyaomiqui [Coatlique]. A thousand times the beadles, returning from outside and crossing the patio on the way to their quarters, caught the Indians by surprise, some on their knees, others prostrate before the statue, and holding in their hands burning candles and other diverse offerings of the sort their elders used to present to their idols. And these things which were done, and later observed with care by many grave and learned persons led to the resolution, as we said, of once more placing the aforesaid statue beneath the ground.
