Anyway, I'm rejecting that religion because either it's a myth that Coatlicue is in a mountain somewhere in New Mexico or someone has been very forgetful in the last 600 years to remember where that was. Either way it seems less than credible to me.

Not so mucc forgetful as the subjects of a campaign to stamp out Native American religion. The mayan writting system was in common use at the time that the spanish conquistadores arrived in the Yucatan. They were so succesful at suppresing native beliefs that they managed to stamp out all knowledge of it in at most about 200 years.
So, if people don't remember where Aztlan is, that's not much of a surprise.
Morover, I'm not sure Coatlicue wants a bunch of white tourists (Descendants of the people who destroyed her son's empire, and his physical embodiment on earth) stomping around sacred Aztlan.
That said, I'm not really convinced you wouldn't find Aztlan if you really looked for it.
So, does your story have any physical evidence to support it?
