Not Ancient Ruins
We have heard of an old building ruin in the Lenah Valley or Glenorchy area but we can not work out where. We do know that it is not at the listed coordinates.
Sancia, a junior member of our group, saw a couple of people hide a message in a tree near to where she was sitting. She also overheard the people talking about the ruin. Miguel, the person who hid the message, said it revealed the location of the old building but it was encrypted and boasted that it would not be easy to understand since it contained both ancient and modern encryption methods.
To be sure about security Miguel mentioned that he had employed a modern encoding method. Sancia thought he said that he used the Ask Key Code.
Sancia also remembered that Miguel said he was from Mexico and that his ancestors spoke the classical Nahuatl language. He much admired the culture of his predecessors and regretted that he was unable to converse in their ancient language. However he said that he then used one of his forebears' other ancient practices to further encode the message thinking that that would protect the message if it got into the wrong hands.
Sancia was intrigued and made a copy of the message and it is shown below. Please help—what does it mean and where are the ruins?
