Sheik Moses-Divine Chief, of the Aztecs - Chicomoztoc
From various sources, and especially the amazing historical book "The Aztecs" by Richard Townsend, I am strongly convinced that the ancient legendary figure/location called Chicomoztoc is the Aztecan name for Prince/Sheik Moses, Divine Chief.
Of course, Wikipedia lists it as a 7-cave mountain location, but it also has the name prefix of Chico which is definitely Sheikh, or Prince. As in modern times, names of Kings, Heros, Gods, can also be location names... i.e., Washington, Lincoln, Jefferson, Franklin, etc.
The figure above carries in his left hand, a shepherd's crook, which is part of the symbolism identified with Pharaohs of the 18th Dynasty, which included Thothmoses and Rameses/RaMoses.
This is one of those items where I table my observations as a tourist, then hope some brighter person than myself can decipher the speculation in the next 20 years.
