Mesoamerican mythology – Ge

Three images depicting different mesoamerican mythic scenes. 1: Tezcatlipoca, the god of the night sky and war in a dark temple hall, flanked by two living jaguars. His face is half-covered by a mirror made of polished obsidian that reflects the starry sky. 2: A mayan creation myth: The first humans created from corn, as described in the Popol Vuh. Two Mayan gods fashion delicate human figures from golden corn kernels and white cornmeal, srrounded by a cornucopia of tropical fruits and vegetables in a mythical garden. 3: Aztec mythology: The battle between Huitzilopochtli (the sun god) and Tezcatlipoca (in jaguar form) to become the fifth sun.
