The referenced paper is interesting, as going deeper often does add to the story...

"We also show that a long stone causeway in the summit of Mount Tlaloc aligns perfectly with the rising sun on February 23 to 24, in coincidence with the Basin’s new year in the Mexica calendar. Third, we demonstrate that, when viewed from the sacred Mount Tepeyac in the bottom of the Basin, sunrise aligns with Mount Tlaloc also on February 24."

Mt. Tlaloc is quite a site, apparently...


The causeway, though it may have been reconditioned, is interestng as well...
