Quinametzin

Quinametzin were a race of giants from Aztec mythology, credited with construction of the pyramid of Cholula and the City of Teotihuacan.

History
The Quinametzin populated the world during the previous era of the Sun of Rain (Nahui-Quiahuitl). They were wiped out prior to the creation of mankind because they did not venerate the gods. The Friar Diego Duran also mentioned the presence of giants in the region of Puebla-Tlaxcala: “The other people who say they found those of Tlaxcala and Cholula and Huejotzingo, say they were giants. – extracted from Durán, 1951, P. 14. Durán stipulated that long and large bones were found in that region of Puebla that he himself saw when they were being extracted. In addition, Fray Andrés Olmos reported the collection of gigantic standing bones in the palace of Antonio de Mendoza, viceroy of New Spain.

Explanations
Academic historians believe that the giant bones found by the Spanish may have been dinosaur fossils.
