Btw : Wikipedia has got it wrong, that picture is not from the Nærøyfjord, but the Aurlandsfjord (Same county but a half hour drive away). And the Nærøyfjord looks way better

"The name Aztalan was given to this place by Mr. Hyer, because, according to Humboldt, the Aztecs, or ancient inhabitants of Mexico, had a tradition that their ancestors came from a country at the north, which they called Aztalan; and the possibility that these may have been remains of their occupancy, suggested the idea of restoring the name. It is made up of two Mexican words, atl, water, and an, near; and the country was probably so named from its proximity to large bodies of water. Hence the natural inference that the country about these great lakes was the ancient residence of the Aztecs."[5]
Hyer wrote, "We are determined to preserve these ruins from being ruined." However, in 1838, President Martin Van Buren refused a request by Massachusetts statesman Edward Everett to withdraw the site from public sale, and it was sold for $22. In the following years, the surface was plowed, the mounds were leveled for easier farming, pottery shards and "Aztalan brick" were hauled away by the wagonload to fill in potholes in township roads, and souvenir hunters took numerous artifacts.

In 1850, Increase A. Lapham, an author, scientist, and naturalist, surveyed the site on behalf of the Smithsonian Institution, and urged its preservation. At the time, the stockade was still standing, though not in the condition it had once been.

For example, an officer may pin the suspect’s body to the floor with a knee on their back, and another may immobilise the suspect’s head by kneeling on their neck.

Holy shit... Did they film some of Attack of the Clones there? Not being sarcastic, it looks almost exactly like the place where Hayden Chistensen and Natalie Portman's infamous and agonising "I don't like sand" scene was filmed:



Unless you've seen the film (and if you have, my condolences) you'll just have to take my word for it that the area they are standing in looks just like where you're moving to. That's awesome.

there's no goin' back to that

i'm so numb can't even react

didn't say it's not ok

but we aren't dealin' the same way


it's the last thing on my mind

still you won't let things unwind

spinnin' tight around your head

can't you hear a word i've said?


when you call it's just not fair

it's the last thing you should share

i can't deal i'll let you know

still i wish you'd let it go


i'm tellin' you for one last time

it's not just you the problem's mine to hide

i waited as long as i could

if you need it sure i would drop by

i'm takin' away a lot of stuff

i'm tellin' you it's rough
but not goodbye
