Refimprove date December 2009 This article is about the historic cities. In the science fiction television series Stargate SG 1 , the Tollan are an advanced human civilization see Tollan Stargate . Tollan , Tolan , or Tol n is a name used for the capital cities of two empire s of Pre Columbian Mesoamerica first for Teotihuacan , and later for the Toltec capital, Tula, Mexico Tula Hidalgo , both in Mexico . The name has also been applied to the Mesoamerican chronology Postclassic Era Postclassic Mexican settlement Cholula Mesoamerican site Cholula . The name T ll n means Among the Reed bed reeds in the Nahuatl language, with the figurative sense of a densely populated place where people are thick as reeds . Names with the same meaning were used in Maya language Maya and other native Mexican languages. Teotihuacan seems to have been the first city known by this name. After the collapse of the Teotihuacan empire, central Mexico broke into various petty states. The Toltec created the first sizable Mexican empire after the fall of Teotihuacan, and their capital was referred to by the same name as a reference to the earlier greatness of Teotihuacan. In Aztec accounts at the time of the arrival of the Conquistador es, Teotihuacan and the Toltec capital sometimes seem to be confused and conflated. The epithet Tollan was also sometimes applied to any great metropolis or capital. Cholula , for example, was sometimes called Tollan Cholula , and the Aztec capital of Tenochtitl n was likewise given the title Tollan . The Mixtec translation of this, uu Co yo is still the Mixtec name for Mexico City to this day. Tollan in Mesoamerican mythology Tollan is the name given to the mythical place of origin in many Mesoamerican traditions, including those of the Aztecs and the K iche people K iche Maya civilization Maya . ref Read & Gonz lez 2000, pp.90, 123.n10. ref In the K iche epic Popul Vuh , the first people created are gathered at Tollan, the place of seven caves, where they rece ... more details
