It is more likely that the Toltec, more than a "culture", was a knowledge degree of the wise men and women of the millenary ancient Mexico and that Teotihuacán was the generator and irradiator center of Toltecáyotl for all the Cem Anahuac.
It surprises today, to find peoples such as the Tacuates in Oaxaca and the Maya in the Yucatan Peninsula, and cannot find Toltec people in the ethnic mosaic of the country.
In the same Cem Anahuac historical memory, the Toltecs are recognized as precursors of ancestral knowledge and wisdom.
"When it was still night,
when there was no day,
when there was not even light,
they got together,
the gods were invoked
there in Teotihuacan.”
“The Toltec had the advantage
at all times,
until they approached the chichimeca land.
It cannot be remembered
how long they walked.
They came from the interior of the plains,
between the rocks.
There they saw seven caves,
and turned these caves into temples,
their place of pleading.
And the Toltec
were always ahead."
