Don Jose,
Millions of years ago, all of that area of New Mexico was covered by a shallow inland sea. Eventually it went dry, and probably stayed that way until the end of the last Ice Age. That would have been a little over 10,000 years ago. At that time, another large area remained a lake. I don't know, off hand, when it dried up.
At the end of that Ice Age, Folsom Man would have been moving into New Mexico. Who knows if they actually died out or were just absorbed by the people that followed them into the area.
To my way of thinking, there are a number of similarities between those early people and the Aztec.
Take care,
Joe
