AZTEC MYTHS EDITED BY JAKE JACKSON

Details

Though the Olmecs (1250200 bc) were the first civilization in Mexico, the Aztecs (13251521) Mesoamericas last imperial civilization and the most significant of the militaristic post-Classic period are probably who first come to mind when we think of great empires of that region. Like other Mesoamerican cultures, Aztec gods and myths reflected a natural philosophy where ideas concerning life and death were linked symbolically to the earth, sky and sea in a grand cosmic scheme. Their religion was dominated by the tribal war god Huitzilopochtli, the rain/fertility god Tlaloc and the supreme deity Tezcatlipoca, the Lord of the Smoking Mirror. This fascinating collection explores the history, culture, gods, calendar, myths and tales of this people, from migration legends to the origin myth of the Five Suns.
