Everything about Zaachila totally explained
Zaachila (the
Zapotec name;
Nahuatl:
Teotzapotlan;
Mixtec:
Ñuhu Tocuisi) is a town in
Oaxaca,
Mexico, 6 km from the city of
Oaxaca. It is also an archaeological site consisting of the remains of an important
post-classic Zapotec city of the same name. A large unexplored pyramid mound sits near the center of the town. Although largely un-excavated, two tombs were discovered at the site in 1962 . These tombs are thought to belong to important
Mixtec persons.
The history of the pre-hispanic city is unclear. One theory is that the site flourished
1100 and
1521 A.D.. Another theory is that the city was founded in
1399 and could be compared to
Tenochtitlan, as it was a city in the middle of a lake. The full extent of the ancient city isn't known either, principally because excavation is impeded by the fact that most mounds have inhabited structurs on them.
Its church is called “Nuestra Señora de la Natividad” (Our Lady of the Nativity) and its
market day is Thursday.
