Acacitli (Nahuatl for "reed hare";[1] pronounced [aːkaˈsiʔtɬi]) was a Mexica chief and one of the "founding fathers" of Tenochtitlan, the capital of the Aztec Empire.

According to the

Tezcatlan Miyahuatzin was married to Acamapichtli, the first tlatoani of Tenochtitlan, and gave birth to King Huitzilihuitl.[2]

Temporality

The two main versions that expose its temporality come from the same historian: Domingo Chimalpahin, deposited at the Memorial of Colhuacan, The [3] the Seventh Relation,[4] and the Journal respectively. [5]

The Memorial de Colhuacan shares (and complements) its conclusions with the

Atlitlalaquian
in 1167.

On the other hand, the Journal provides a clearer and more coherent list based on older sources calculating in the Indigenous way, from which the inconsistencies of the periods of the other lists are observed and studied. In the same manner as the previous list, he was converted

tonalpohualli
might certainly seem the same, but it is not. This list advocates placing 12-house in 1205 and 13-cane in 1219, that is, 52 years later.'

The Annals of Tlatelolco present a different list that does not clear up the problem in its entirety, taking into account that

cuauhtlahtohqueh. Starting from the year 8-casa 1253 and going back to the year 1-acatl 1155, he was placed as successor of Cuauhtlequetzqui in 1205 (12-casa) established in Tlemaco to Apanteuctli, who replaced Acacitli until his death in 1236 (4-tecpatl) in Apazco
.

It is also useful to mention that it is preferable to bring the

cuauhtlahtohqueh in the historically true since 1240; First, the sources themselves indicate events that are excessively mythologized, incoherent, contradictory and not very corroborable in reality. [9]
