Re: Re: tremendous
thanks; but: who is quetzalcoatl? that dragon like thing on the papyrus, or are you able to read those glyphs?
Re: Re: Re: tremendous
No i can not read that he he he but because i am mexican
and well almost every fella here on my contry knows Quetzalcoatl
(yes the serpent on the glyph)
means "snake with feathers" (serpiente emplumada).
but i can not read, i mean, really read azteca, maya or nauhuatl´s codexs or anything but some of the iconography used in the quilt is very familiar on my homeland even if i am not a arqueologist
bw :D great tiling man :)
