Archaeological finds show that it was inhabited by village communities 8500 yearsbefore Christ. He had a major role in the process of domestication and cultivationof plants. In Tehuacn found the oldest fossil of corn in the world.

Shield Tehuacan

The Shield of Tehuacn is composed of four quarters:

In the first room is the black eagle on a cactus with two arrows in the right claw and

one crossed by the legs and left three cornstalks with ears of gold that the Indians

call Miahuatl in the blue field.

The second quarter shows a black eagle on a white field with golden beak put a

paw on a teponaxtle golden and the other holding up two arrows. To the right of

that eagle one ayacaxtle or rattle, an instrument playing and dancing with the

natives. Shortly below a drum, the two sides left the teponaxcle, and below a

quetzal feathers or beam.

In the third quarter a matte finish and made to order a flower red branches which in

their language called tlaxochitl. A bird biting a flower at the foot of a tree that kills

leaving it to those who call their language Mezquite. On the right a castle on a hillthat has a large cave underneath and near the castle some red and white stones,

four pockets having said castle out three arrows on the one hand and between the

first and second top out one maixquahuitl, instrument with which fought in antiquity

and in the other two side pockets two arrows left and go through them in one

Glyph of Tehuacan

This is the currently accepted glyph city of Tehuacn. It is based on the work of

Felipe Franco's 1946 Geographic Indonimia Puebla State, same as inferred from

the word Teohuacan, ie instead of gods or the sun.

(From "La Fortaleza del Cerro Colorado Tehuacan Puebla," Galvez Mauricio

Rosales)

The glyph is interpreted as follows: At the bottom you can see a gum with teeth,

which means "place". The album is a solar symbol, or sacred. Hence, to be known

as Tehuacn "City of Gods", "Place of those gods", "Place of those with God" or

more currently "Sun City"

Traditional Food Tehuacan

Mole de caderas

Every year pamphlets explaining the origins of this dish, along with a list of

ingredients, are distributed in Tehuacan's restaurants by the city's GastronomicCouncil, an association of restaurant owners formed to promote local cuisine. If

you live in a place where goat meat is available, this is worth trying. The

proportions come from La Cocina Familiar en el Estado de Puebla, a regional

cookbook published by Editorial Ocano de Mxico.

We enjoyed mole de caderasat Tehuacan's Restaurante Casa Vieja, but the

recipe is very traditional and the ingredients are standard and well prepared at

most of the city's restaurants. Fans of goat barbacoa will love this dish, though you

might start with less chile than is used in the Mixteca.

Ingredients:

4 pounds goat meat, cut into chunks

2 onions, peeled and coarsely chopped

1 head plus 5 large cloves garlic, peeled

3 pounds tomatoes

2 pounds tomatillos, husked
