Calixtlahuaca: The City of Fertility?

Fig. W0028: Conjunto Tlaloc

Officially known as Group B, the Tlaloc Group is thought to be dedicated to Tlaloc, the google-eyed and goofy God of Rain. However, the altar located within the group is linked to a statue of Coatlicue found at Calixtlahuaca which may change the our understanding of this group’s purpose to one of fertility.
