Temascal or Nuevo Soyaltepec is the main town and seat of San Miguel Soyaltepec a municipality in the state of Oaxaca. It is part of the Tuxtepec District of the Papaloapan Region. The name Soyaltepec means “hill of palm trees” in Náhuatl but the area also carries the Mazatec name of Naxhingee which means “ragged hill”. ==The town== The original town of San Miguel Soyaltepec was founded in 1500. The area saw a battle on 25 April 1865 where invading French forces were defeated by Colonel Luis Pérez Figueroa. For this reason, the name of the town was changed to Patriótica Villa de San Miguel Soyaltepec in 1868. The Presidente Miguel Alemán dam was completed in 1954, flooding the original town of San Miguel Soyaltepec and forcing the relocation of about 22,000 Mazatecs. This is the reason why the municipal seat is Temascal, and called Nuevo Soyaltepec.〔 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Temascal or Nuevo Soyaltepec」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
