Line 6:
While it is called the Aztec Sun Stone, this sculpture did not originally come from Aztlan but was created by the [[Mexica]] people. And while it is often called the Aztec Calendar, it primarily essentially depicts the four great disasters which led to the migration of the Mexica to [[Tenochtitlan]] (modern day Mexico City).
It also contains pictographs depicting the way the Mexica measured time, but cannot really be called a calendar since it is believed to have primarily been a religious artifact.
The [[Aztec Calendar]] page also contains more information on how the Aztecs marked time. == Understanding the Sun Stone ==
