“MEXICAN PURPLE Although the source of this exclusive dye was long a Phoenician trade secret, by the time of the classical Greeks it was known to be manufactured from a gland of the murex sea snail. Surprisingly, while traveling in Mexico in the 1830s, Thomas Gage observed that traditional purple dye manufacture there used the same techniques to create dye from the same sea snails.95”

“The Aztecs called the homeland across the ocean Tlillan Tlapallan, “Black Land Red Land.”59 Today, most scholars consider this land to be either purely mythical or perhaps a reference to the Yucatan. What has been missed is that there actually was a land of this name and it lay where they said it did, to the east across the Atlantic. The ancient Egyptians knew their own country as Kemet Deshret, “the Black Land and the Red Land.”60 Like the name of Quetzalcóatl’s distant homeland, this consists of two words meaning “black land” and “red land,” even occurring in the same order.”
