Historian Enrique Florescano has argued that the " original " Tollan was probably Teotihuacán, and that the Mayan sources refer to Chichén Itzá when talking about the mythical place Zuyua ( Tollan ).

While Aztlán has many trappings of myth, similar to Tamoanchan, Chicomoztoc, Tollan, and Cibola, archaeologists have nonetheless attempted to identify the geographic place of origin for the Mexica.

Around 1000 CE the Toltec people, normally assumed to have been of Nahua ethnicity, established dominion over much of central Mexico which they ruled from Tollan Xicocotitlan.

Mesoamerican migration accounts often state that Tollan was ruled by Quetzalcoatl ( or Kukulkan in Yucatec and Q ' uq ' umatz in K ' iche '), a godlike mythical figure who was later sent into exile from Tollan and went on to found a new city elsewhere in Mesoamerica.

The rivalry between Quetzalcoatl and Tezcatlipoca is also recounted in the legends of Tollan where Tezcatlipoca deceives Quetzalcoatl who was the ruler of the legendary city and forces him into exile.

Tlillan-Tlapallan ' Place of the black and red colour ' is a legendary place or region on the Gulf Coast of Mexico where king Quetzalcoatl went on his flight from Tollan in order to burn himself and change into the Morning Star.

After the fall of the Toltec capital of Tollan, large migrations of people moved into the Valley of Mexico, bringing with them the concept of city-state.

The Tollan later incorporate this technology into a powerful bomb developed for the Goa ' uld Tanith and were planned to be used to destroy Stargate Command before the Tollan rebelled against Tanith.

Under Goa ' uld pressure, the Tollan offer ion cannon technology to Earth in exchange for trinium.

In the Mesoamerican concept of urbanism, Tollan and other language equivalents serve as a metaphor, linking the bundles of reeds and rushes that formed part of the lacustrine environment of the Valley of Mexico and the large gathering of people in a city.

He attributed the Aztec view of the Toltecs to the " tendency of the human mind to glorify the good old days ", and the confounding of the place of Tollan with the myth of the struggle between Quetzalcoatl and Tezcatlipoca.

This school of thought connected the " Toltecs " to the archaeological site of Tula, which was taken to be the Tollan of Aztec myth.

This interpretation argues that any large urban center in Mesoamerica could be referred to as " Tollan " and its inhabitants as Toltecs — and that it was common practice among ruling lineages in Postclassic Mesoamerica to strengthen claims to power by claiming Toltec ancestry.

** The Tollan followed a policy effectively the same as the Prime Directive, following the destruction of a neighboring planet caused by the misuse of power-generating technology given to them by the Tollan.

Aztec legends identify the Toltecs and the cult of Quetzalcoatl with the legendary city of Tollan, which they also identified with the more ancient Teotihuacan.

Mexica legends identify the Toltecs and the cult of Quetzalcoatl with the mythical city of Tollan, which they also identified with the more ancient Teotihuacan.

This suggests that the Maya of the Classic period understood Teotihuacan as a Place of Reeds similar to other Postclassic Central Mexican settlements that took the name Tollan, such as Tula-Hidalgo and Cholula.

This naming convention led to much confusion in the early 20th century, as scholars debated whether Teotihuacan or Tula-Hidalgo was the Tollan described by 16th – century chronicles.

It now seems clear that Tollan may be understood as a generic Nahua term applied to any large settlement.

During Aztec times, the city was a place of pilgrimage and identified with the myth of Tollan, the place where the sun was created.

In the K ' iche ' epic Popul Vuh, after the first people were created, they gathered at the mythical Tollan, the Place of the Seven Caves, to receive their language and their gods.

The Toltec capital, Tula, also known as Tollan and located in the present-day state of Hidalgo is the most significant archaeological site associated with the Toltec.

Tollan, Tolan, or Tolán is a name used for the capital cities of two empires of Pre-Columbian Mesoamerica ; first for Teotihuacan, and later for the Toltec capital, Tula-Hidalgo, both in Mexico.

The epithet " Tollan " was also sometimes applied to any great metropolis or capital.

Tollan is the name given to the mythical place of origin in many Mesoamerican traditions, including those of the Aztecs and the K ' iche ' Maya.

In the K ' iche ' epic Popul Vuh, the first people created are gathered at Tollan, the place of seven caves, where they receive their languages and their gods.
