Editing Tláloc (section)

===Archaeological evidence===
The first detailed account of Cerro Tláloc by Jim Rickards in 1929 was followed by visits or descriptions by other scholars. In 1953 Wicke and Horcasitas carried out preliminary archaeological investigations at the site; their conclusions were repeated by Parsons in 1971.  Archaeo-astronomical research began in 1984, some of which remains unpublished.  In 1989 excavation was undertaken at the site by Solis and Townsend.<ref>Iwaniszewski, Stanislaw. (1994). p. 160.</ref> The current damage that is present at the top of Cerro Tláloc is thought to be likely of human destruction, rather than natural forces. There also appears to have been a construction of a modern shrine that was built in the 1970s, which suggests that there was a recent/present attempt to conduct rituals on the mountain top.<ref name=":7" />
