This phenomenon was not an isolated or regional event. On the contrary, it was a coordinated and concerted action in all knowledge centers, called today "archeological" sites. From north to south and from east to west. In less than 50 years they disappeared and what is also amazing, is that there are no archaeological traces of a migration and much less their reappearance elsewhere in the Anahuac.
