Talk:Templo Mayor

message: im kinda confused by the first line of the article. "Great Pyramid" in english translates as "Pirámide Mayor" in spanish.  and "Templo Mayor" in spanish translates as "Great Temple". which one is correct, or are they both (due to different names by different people)? either way, the spanish name used isnt in italics as called for by the Manual of Style. and a translation isnt given. the way it reads right now, the article makes it seem to a non-spanish speaker that the second name in bold is a direct translation of the first. the spanish article calls it only the "Great Temple", but notes that its actually a "double temple", formed by a truncated pyramid. 4.230.168.252 02:15, 31 August 2006 (UTC)

message: What was the name of the temple in Aztec? Should the article not be moved to that name instead of the Spanish name? Gryffindor (talk) 13:30, 2 March 2010 (UTC)
replies: text: Templo Mayor is the current name of the archaeological site, with associated museum. Since the temple is no longer standing I would have thought the Spanish name is appropriate, especially since that is what INAH uses to refer to the site. Many Mesoamerican archaeological sites use their modern names rather than the name they were originally known by, even when this is known (Tikal for example).

replies: text: I see. But what is (was) the native name of the temple? Gryffindor (talk) 16:02, 2 March 2010 (UTC)

text: Bizarrely, none of my sources give a name for the building as a whole (at least not one that I can locate quickly) but various books refer to Huitzilopochtli's half as Coatepec ("Serpent Hill") where the god was born and Tlaloc's half as Tonacatepetl, the mythical place where maize was stored by the gods. It is implied in one or two of my books that the building as a whole might have been referred to as Coatepec, but not stated outright. Regards, Simon Burchell (talk) 18:08, 2 March 2010 (UTC)

text: * Coatepec was a mythical location. Its true location, if there was one, is unknown. The various places called Coatepec, Coatepeque etc. are likely to be named after the mythical location, rather than being the original location. All the best, Simon Burchell (talk) 08:47, 12 April 2021 (UTC)
