Arrows

I thought Sacrificial victums of this god were bound and then shot to death with arrows. Tourskin 23:43, 15 April 2007 (UTC)

From what I have read, I think the article is right as it stands, although a bit on the skimpy side. I could be wrong though, and I don't think there are any eye-witnesses left to set us right if we are. --Dumbo1 22:08, 15 July 2007 (UTC)

In popular culture

Xipe Totec (also known as "Orlando") appears as a villain in Grant Morrison's occult comic The Invisibles. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 71.146.32.39 (talk) 19:08, 31 January 2009 (UTC)

Problematic images?

Stone representation of Xipe Totec. The mouth of the deity is visible under the open mouth of the flayed skin.

I've been contacted by an academic concerned that these two images are post-Conquest fakes - pending checking up on this, which hopefully I'll be able to do shortly, I've moved them to the talkpage. I suspect that if this is the case, reinstating them and clearly labelling them as such is okay, but I'll defer to others! Andrew Gray (talk) 23:01, 14 June 2012 (UTC)

No big deal, we have plenty of photos of Xipe Totec on commons. I've dropped in an alternative image of a piece in the Museo de América, Madrid - but there are plenty of others. If we do use the removed photos and mention that they are fakes, we'll just have to make sure that any such claim is verifiable. All the best, Simon Burchell (talk) 09:02, 15 June 2012 (UTC)

Thanks - I was going to drop you an note about this, as the primary author, but it was late so I went to bed and filed it under "do it tomorrow" - you beat me to it! ;-) I've got a pointer to a couple of sources discussing the forgeries as forgeries, so I'll follow that up today or Monday and make sure the Commons images are clearly noted as well.

Xipe-Totec or Xipe Totec?

Well, all these sources use "Xipe-Totec". --Giggette (talk) 05:23, 19 September 2012 (UTC) Template:Quote

Well, my copy of Fernandez definitely uses "Xipe Totec", not "Xipe-Totec". I can give a much longer list of sources using the "Xipe Totec" form, but it's far easier to Google and see for yourself. Almost all the sources I used when writing the article use "Xipe Totec", the one exception being the website of the Museo de América. If the cited sources (and the majority of the literature) use "Xipe Totec", that's what we should stick with. Simon Burchell (talk) 09:03, 19 September 2012 (UTC)

See Google Books, not one instance of "Xipe-Totec" is on the first page of the search result (except the Wikipedia page that you renamed, which doesn't count), or Google Shcolar, likewise. Simon Burchell (talk) 10:58, 19 September 2012 (UTC)

I've gone back to my book collection and all the following books list "Xipe Totec":

• The Aztecs by Richard F. Townsend
• The Aztecs by Michael E. Smith
• Mexico from the Olmecs to the Aztecs by Michael D. Coe and Rex Koontz
• The Art of Mesoamerica from Olmec to Aztec by Mary Ellen Miller
• The Illustrated Dictionary of the Gods and Symbols of Ancient Mexico and the Maya by Mary Miller and Karl Taube
• Prehistoric Mesoamerica by Richard E. W. Adams
• Dioses Prehispánicos de México by Adela Fernández
• The Great Temple of the Aztecs: Treasures of Tenochtitlan by Eduardo Matos Moctezuma
• Moctezuma: Aztec Ruler by Colin McEwan and Leonardo López Luján
• Aztecs by Eduardo Matos Moctezuma and Felipe Solís Olguín
• Historia General de las de Nueva España, vols 1 and 2, by Fray Bernardino de Sahagún (Josefina García Quintana and Alfredo López Austin, eds).

Please stop moving the page. Simon Burchell (talk) 20:01, 19 September 2012 (UTC)

Overtly obsessive whith the human sacrifice part

Found little to none information about the mithology and fanatical obsesión on the fact that there were human sacrifices 🤷 TlaloqueNahuaque (talk) 13:18, 7 January 2022 (UTC)
