		Chalcatzingo, located 120 kilometers southeast of Mexico City in the state of Morelos.

		Since the Chalcatzingo cave supernatural is an underworld entrance, one can assume that if the rest of the face on the left scepter were visible it would function similarly.
		Not only is the placement of the mythico-religious monuments at Chalcatzingo similar to the placement of the secondary information on "Slim," but the axial position of the Middle Formative ruler is also indicated.
		With the carved portrait on the summit and the charter of rulership carved on its flanks, Cerro Chalcatzingo became the axis mundi and the ruler of Middle Formative Chalcatzingo metaphorically became the mountain.

		The Olmecs were a people of the Gulf Coast plain, a hot swampy region, who apparently early on began to trade with the inhabitants of the central highlands, where they left a most significant mark at Chalcatzingo.
		"Chalcatzingo," Nahuatl in origin, is variously taken to mean "the Chalcas' most precious site," "the revered site of the sacred water," and "the revered site of precious jade stones." I suppose you may take your choice.
		The settlement is situated at the base of three outcroppings of lava, which tower over the surrounding agricultural land, that were considered sacred not only by the Olmecs but also by the Aztecs and even by modern peoples.

		The site of Chalcatzingo, located 120 kilometers southeast of México City in the state of Morelos, is situated at the base of two large hills on the only good expanse of agricultural land for many miles (Figure 1).
		Chalcatzingo provides a unique opportunity to investigate the form and function of monumental architecture since it is the only known Central Mexican site with evidence of monumentality in the Early Formative Period (Grove, 1984; 1987; Grove et al., 1976).
		The data yielded by the excavation of the platform mound was also used to examine theories of the rise of sociopolitical complexity at Chalcatzingo.

		Founded in the mid-second millennium B.C., Chalcatzingo is among the most important early Olmec sites.
		Despite its importance, Chalcatzingo, which has been poorly investigated, faces an uncertain future as its architectural remains continue to be harvested for modern building projects, and much of the archaeological zone is regularly overrun by cattle from an adjacent ranch.
		Chalcatzingo will remain at risk, however, until plans are drafted for its long-term management and conservation.

		At this site we found the sacred Amate tree which is used to produce paper.
		This type of amate tree, popularly known as a “matapalo” (a stick killer), always surrounds the closest tree to it in what at first seems to be a loving or, at least, protective embrace, but later turns out to be a form of asphyxiation.
		Here at Chalcatzingo, the amate trees (Ficus tecolutensis)which grow attached to the cliffs and exhibit a great flexibility are integral parts of the "sacred landscape".
