'''Tlapallan''' {{IPA|nah|ˈt͡ɬilːan t͡ɬaˈpalːan|}} From Aztec mythology: a legendary place on the coast Mexico. When the divine lord [[Quetzalcoatl]] was afflicted by old age and illness, and outraged at the violence of the trickster Titlacuahan, he fled to Tlapallan. From there he sailed away on a raft of snakes. The source says,


The tale can be found in an important 16th-century [[manuscript]] (the [[Codex Chimalpopoca]]) containing the Annals of Quauhtitlan. Written in [[Nahuatl|Nahua]], the text basically translates a pre-Spanish book. The tale also occurs in [[Bernardino de Sahagún]]'s ''General History of the Things of New Spain''. The name "Tlillan-Tlapallan" has been interpreted as referring to writing and books.
