The etymological meaning of the name of
Cacaxtla from the Nahuatl word that means cacaxtli instrument used for
loading goods.
One of the earliest references to the chronicler makes Cacaxtla
tlaxcaltecas Diego Muñoz Camargo in his History of Tlaxcala, who wrote:
... and here at this site were the Olmec and its major populated places,
like today it expressed the ruins of its buildings, according to the
samples that were big and strong, and the forces and ansi barbican,
Albarrán, trenches and bastions ... and a large copy of the people
who came to town, where it had its principal place or a fortress or
Penol hill that is almost two miles of circuit, and on this Penol ...
Albarrán and five champagnes and many other sites ...
Furthermore, the Codex Xochitécatl is represented in the hill
Xochitécatl whose right rear of the drawing is another hill named
Cascasmeme, identified by the teacher as Cacaxtla Luis Reyes García.
Also in the map Cuauhtinchan number two, in one of its details there is

hand and the chronicler Juan Buenaventura Zapata Cacaxtla described in
