The Teotenitztic site consists of a fifteen-centimeter-high triangular stone with etched scripts at the bottom and graphite spikes encrusted on its flat side, arranged in accordance to the navigation stars visible on that area of the pacific ocean. In front of this lays a smaller rectangular stone with a hole across the horizontal middle and a sharp obsidian blade incrusted at the top edge of the hole, these stones are known as the Tetlenitztic stones (tetl-stone, tenitztic-sharpening, IPA: [tεː t͡ɬ tεːnitstik]). Tetli language derived from the Nahuatl language (IPA: [ˈnaːwatɬ] ), is part of of the Uto-Aztecan language family, and thanks to the help of mesoamerican linguistic researchers, archeologists have been able to decipher part of the logosyllabic scrips etched at the base of the stones, and this way understand the development of the tetlilli state, their traditions, political structure, religion and veneration of the number two.

 

This last fact, repeatedly mentioned on the Zacamoa codex, later discovered by Dr. Lapetros's team, was quintessential to all aspects of Tetlilli life. On a mathematical level, their comprehension of a unit or one was understood as half, and two as a full unit, making all measurements, edifications, and city planning according to this principle. The Tetlilli state was ruled by a governmental body, consisting of a two-part entity, each formed by 4 representatives of the main municipal localities of the Island, who decided in consensus on all matters of state. Their calendar was divided into two seasons, Tonalmitl-Sunbeam & Tlilli-Blacksmoke, making it clear when to harvest and hunt. This same concept was the main inspiration of the Neihiotiloyan (place to breathe) ritual, devised to select the strongest swimmers on the island. This competition consisted of a free dive of almost, and sometimes more than, eighty meters of deepness in search of the Tamachiuhqui stone, the winner of the Neihiotiloyan was not to be the first person to emerge to the surface with the stone, but the second one, making it extremely dangerous, and a test of lung capacity and stamina. Among the most outstanding divers was Ecapitzactli, who was said to be undefeated during her lifetime, and able to hold her breath for the equivalent of an hour and a half.

 

Despite lacking fresh water and supporting no land animals, the Tetlillis developed a complex collect and supply system of rainwater, aided by the filtrating properties of volcanic stone, a sophisticated development of underwater farming and seasonal crop harvesting, as well as fishing and bird hunting techniques, which made possible the settlement of their civilization on Roca Partida.

 

Among one of the items that completely perplexed researchers on Tetlilli culture, was the tonalmitl pencil (tonalmitl-sunray, IPA: [toːˈnaɬmiːt͡ɬ ]), which according to the narration of the Zacamoa codex, this pencil was carried to their shores by their sacred bird the Kuala, marking the end of their time on this earth when the final Tenitztic turn was made. Dr. Otto Kirchmann, a specialist on German voyages in the 1800 hundreds, declared after a carbon test that the pencil a Kaspar Faber pencil produced in Nuremberg at the beginning of the 19th century, known to be used by explorers like Alexander von Humboldt, who in 1811 made a trip to the Revillagigedo archipelago, making it possible that the Tonalmitl pencil, was in fact his.

 

With a group of anthropologists, biologists, and researchers from the National Autonomous University of Mexico (UNAM), Dr. Lapetros's research continues to amaze anthropologists, biologists, historians, and professionals across all scientific realms.
