English: Historical events represented in the Aztec hieroglyphic manuscripts.The drawing on the left shows the death of the Aztec ruler, Ahuitzotl, in the year 10 Rabbit (1502 A.D.) and the accession of his nephew, Montezuma II. The mummy of a human figure bound with ropes, with a crown on its head, indicates the death of a ruler, a mummy being the Aztec hieroglyph for death. The little water-animal attached to the crown by a cord shows that the dead ruler's name was Ahuitzotl, that being the Aztec word for "water-animal." The right half of this drawing shows a man seated upon a dais, with a crown upon his head and a speech-scroll issuing from his mouth. The Aztec word for ruler was "tlahtouani," "he who speaks," shown graphically by the speech-scroll. Finally both figures are attached by cords to the circle above, which represents the year 10 Rabbit (1502 A.D.), indicating the date of this event.
