A Fragmented History, a Long Overdue Return The recent loan of the Codex Azcatitlan to Mexico City's National Museum of Anthropology has sparked both celebration and frustration among those who have been fighting for its permanent return from France.
This 16th century manuscript is more than just a historical artifact – it's a tangible connection to the rich cultural heritage of the Aztec Empire, which was brutally suppressed by Spanish conquistadors.
The loan is being touted as a "first step toward restitution" by Foreign Minister Roberto Velasco.
