Re: has montezuma's tomb been found ...?
you want to really know something , did you know that out of the 7 tribes known to inhabit the seven caves only one tribe did not speak Aztec , they were the Acolhua,,see if mix and match the spellings of the word you start to see a pattern , Acolhua ..Aco ma ...ma could be the home of Acolhua
did you know that only two the tribes name do not end in the ca letters , the Acolhua and the Tlaxcalan .if this is the case then 3 of the tribes have some common ground between them ....Xohimilca and the Acolhua and the Tlaxcalan ... if i am right the letters of the names were combined to make other names like chicomoztoc chi would have linked Xochimilca..+Acolhua+ Montezuma+Toltec
note the words :A general term used to refer to simple village farmers living on the northern fringes of Mesoamerica around the turn of the 1st millennium ad. The Chichimec were regarded as barbarians by the more sophisticated people of central Mexico, and were portrayed as fierce warring people. Between ad 1175 and 1425 some of these peoples moved south into the Basin of Mexico, the best known of which were the Aztecs. Chichimec is also a language group.

Columbia Encyclopedia: Chichimec
(chēchēmĕk') , general term for the peoples of the Valley of Mexico between the periods of Toltec ascendancy and Aztec ascendancy. Before the 11th cent. the Chichimec were nomadic peoples on the northern fringes of the valley. The Chichimec period (c.950–1300) was one of intertribal warfare and political confusion, but it prepared the way for the tributary empire of the Aztec.

Wikipedia: Chichimeca
Chichimeca was the name that the Mexica (Aztecs) generically applied to a wide range of semi-nomadic peoples who inhabited the north of modern-day Mexico, and carried the same sense as the European term "barbarian". The name was adopted with a pejorative tone by the Spaniards when referring especially to the semi-nomadic hunter-gatherer peoples of northern Mexico. In modern times only one ethnic group is customarily referred to as Chichimecs, namely the Chichimeca Jonaz, although lately this usage is being changed for simply "Jonáz" or their own name for themselves "Úza".
Overview and identity
The Chichimeca peoples were in fact many different groups with varying ethnic and linguistic affiliations. As the Spaniards worked towards consolidating the rule of New Spain over the Mexican indigenous peoples during the sixteenth and seventeenth centuries, the "Chichimecan tribes" maintained a resistance. A number of ethnic groups of the region allied against the Spanish, and the following military colonization of northern Mexico has become known as the "Chichimeca Wars".
Many of the peoples called Chichimeca are virtually unknown today; few descriptions mention them and they seem to have been absorbed into mestizo culture or into other indigenous ethnic groups. For example, virtually nothing is known about the peoples referred to as Guachichiles, Caxcanes, Zacatecos, Tecuexes, or Guamares. Others like the Opata or "Eudeve" are well described but extinct as a people.
Other "Chichimec" peoples maintain a separate identity into the present day, for example the Otomies, Chichimeca Jonaz, Coras, Huicholes, Pames, Yaquis, Mayos, O'odham and the Tepehuánes.
Word origin
The Nahuatl name Chīchīmēcah (plural, singular Chīchīmēcatl; pronounced [tʃiːtʃiːˈmeːkaʔ]) means "inhabitants of Chichiman"; the placename Chichiman itself means "Area of Milk". It is sometimes said to be related to chichi "dog", but the i's in chichi are short while those in Chīchīmēcah are long, a phonemic distinction in Nahuatl.[1] The word could either have a negative "barbarous" sense, or a positive "noble savage" sense.[2]
The word "Chichimeca" was originally used by the Nahua to describe their own prehistory as a nomadic hunter-gatherer people and used in contrast to their later, more "civilized," urban lifestyle that they identified with the term Toltecatl.[3] In modern Mexico, the word "Chichimeca" can have pejorative connotations such as "primitive", "savage", "uneducated" and "native," and can be used in much the same way in Mexican Spanish as the word "Apache" can be used in American English.
the fact remanis the "Area of Milk" could be related to the word MA or mother , the brith place ...here is one of the oldest know related sites to Aztlan and a clear link to chicomoztoc or in this case chichimeca ,could this mean the Xochimilca and the Mexica , is this in some way explaning the translation being part of the confussion of these site ...?
yet dose this help explan what tribe became the 7th tribe of the seven caves ... this is what i am working on , i do beleive i have found the seven caves and chicomoztoc ...the next question in my mind is i have found 6 out of the seven caves yet the 7th is sealed and hiden wihin the others 6 caves ...where and why is the real question ,i beleive the Acolhca is the 7th tribe , they are the only tribe that didnt speak the native language of the area at the time , and they are dirrectly related to the chichimeca legend ,and then we now see the posable link between the chichimeca and site #1...
i guess my piont is that these tribes used sound and not the writen words and had a lot of mis translation between them and the spainish ,and the spainish was the totall oppisitie of that so many things were mis under stood and were just translated wrong between the two ...but yet here we see what could be a link between the Acolhca and site one useing the signal mean of given words not that these words could not mean other things , but yet we see the site #1 location of MA matching not only the word meaning but also the location and other site of chicomoztoc in the same area ,, this is a unbeleiveable high ratio , the odds this is Aztlan are far greater then it not being Aztlan at this piont ...
maybe the piont Aztlan was beleived to be in northern mexico and as histroy changed the site was in fact what became Arizona dose not change the fact this area was know as part of sonora when the spainish frist started new spain ,yet the out line of these areas were never clearly defind before the areas changed hands ....i beleive i have enough evidence to prove i have defind what was once Aztlan and even if there is little evidence of it left ,, there is evidence here at these sites , and i can prove this ...
