I am listing two sources below that you might find interesting.
It is not known exactly from where the Aztecs drew their Knowledge and rituals, but in both resources listed, it is suggested that they were the direct descendants of those who inhabited Atlantis.
A great deal of Knowledge is possessed by those who are able to rise within themselves to the Spirituality within themselves, and one might conclude that there were such Souls in Atlantis at some point?
If this was the case, then the "world view" would have been quite different at one point than at the point where their rituals had descended and are interpreted by history.
