Many parts of the MC2 are worn and faded including, unfortunately, the segment of the map that shows Cuauhtinchan's founding. Here, dimly visible in the center, a Chichimec kindles a flame in a New Fire Ceremony, an ancient rite of  new beginning. Behind him an eagle and jaguar watch from the Cave of Cuauhtinchan.
