Acacitli

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 Crónica mexicayotl, his daughter Tezcatlan Miyahuatzin was married to Acamapichtli, the first tlatoani of Tenochtitlan, and gave birth to King Huitzilihuitl.

[4] The Memorial de Colhuacan shares (and complements) its conclusions with the Seventh relation, for they establish that there were nine cuauhtlahtohqueh ('interim leader/ruler') who guided[5] to the Mexica from 1116 (1-Tecpatl) comparing computations with the beginning of the migration presented in the Codex Boturini to 1312 (2-tecpatl)[6] To try to give more historical depth to the facts, although the Memorial of Colhuacan creates a kind of "lagoon" equivalent to a New Fire Ceremony, 52 years (from 1188 to 1240)[7] This creates confusion considering that lately, there have been attempts to spread connections between the indigenous calendar and symbology from a Western vision that leave aside the original conception recorded in the sources.

The Annals of Tlatelolco present a different list that does not clear up the problem in its entirety, taking into account that Rafael Tena (translator and paleographer of the edition of CONACULTA in 2004) proposed an incorrect chronology, but agrees that there were nine cuauhtlahtohqueh.

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.
