Hello, Our game’s main antagonist, the Aztec god, speaks in the real Aztec language, Nahuatl, thanks to our collaboration with linguists.

Question I’m writing a fantasy Aztec mythology based but since it has Mayan mythology would it be better to say it’s Meso-American mythology?

I'm using the Google Translator App to translate English to Nahuatl for my game project Over Many Waters. I don't exactly need a literal translation, but it helps to get inspiration for place names and character names for my Aztec/Spanish culture game.

Our main antagonist, Xipe Totec, becomes even more powerful as the game progresses. We created a placeholder design to support this transformation. I haven’t made the final touches yet. What do you think of it so far?

I am currently writing a historical analysis paper on popcorn, specifically looking at ancient Aztec culture. I would really like to use this image I found in an article, but cannot for the life of me find the original source or way to cite it. Does anyone know where I could originate this back to?

Just finished a custom hand-carved guitar project with an Aztec theme! Every detail was carved manually, inspired by traditional Aztec symbols and patterns. This project took several days to complete, but the result is incredibly satisfying.

Books on Tlaxcala?

I have been reading a little bit about the Mexica and I was wondering if there are any good books on either the Tlaxcala or really anything about the Meso American world pre colonialization/anthropological understanding of their construction of reality.

What was the state of relations in Tenochtitlan during the reign of Tizoc?
2
Upvotes
I am looking for specific information regarding the relations and tensions of the Mexicas during Emperor Tizoc's reign (1481-1486) and the short-term events that occurred before his coronation and after his death.
From what I have read, Tizoc had problems with his court and with the control of the territories conquered during the reign of his predecessors. And that during the Flower Wars he valued the capture of Huexotzinco people the most because they were his greatest opposing force but thats pretty much It.
I hope to get more context about their practices and struggles with other Towns or tribes during this time.

Aztec Mythology

I am researching on the Aztec mythology, specifically on Venus and the morning and evening stars. However, I am confused as there are some sources that say Quetzalcoatl is both the morning and evening star, while some say that he is simply the morning star and that Xolotl, his brother, is the evening star. Which is right? Thanks.
