Spanish writers who saw the ”Aztecs” and who knew the Africans called “Moors” had revealed that the Aztecs even wore the same clothing worn by the Africans called “Moors”
“They wear as clothes a kind of highly colored shawl, the men wear breechcloths about their bodies, and large mantles, very thin, and painted in the style of Moorish draperies”

The Aztecs named their first colony Mali-nalco...
In Old Mali there is one village called Mali-koma...
The name "Mali" was used with suffixes by Africans to name cities...
That could explain the name Mali-nalco...
