ResumoIn a rather complex argument brought forth in 1993, Ross Parmenter tried to identify one of the place signs in the center of the Lienzo de Ihuitlan, called “Water” by Alfonso Caso (1961) as the place sign for the village of Tulancingo. This identification was mainly based on the fact that several of the royal couples associated with the place “Water” in the Lienzo de Ihuitlan also appear scattered around the dominant central church on the Lienzo de Tulancingo, which was photographed for the first time in 1974 by Jesús Franco Carrasco in the village of San Miguel Tulancingo. The same argument was presented by Carlos Rincón Mautner (1994). There is strong evidence, however, indicating that the place sign “Water” represents the village of Ihuitlan itself and that the Lienzo de Tulancingo originally came from the village of Ihuitlan.
