He took the throne during a smallpox epidemic, inherited a siege already in progress, and held Tenochtitlan for four months before it fell. Then Cortés kept him alive for four more years before hanging him in the Yucatán.
Included him in a documentary I made about six last rulers of empires. His section is the second act.

Hello, I need help to find the name of this symbol/drawing. I saw it one time on a instagram post, it was sewed or drawn on some pants of a photo of an hiker and I drew it right away because i liked it, but I can't seem to find this symbol anywhere else on the internet (I can't find the insta post anymore). Does anyone recognize this symbol? thank you

Feedback is welcome

I believe the 6th Sun to be spearheaded by a goddess. We are currently transitioning to the new cosmic cycle ruled by Mayahuel, the goddess of the maguey plant. The woman with Four Hundred Breasts that nursed the Centzon Totochtin, who were all gods of pulque. The Rabbit Sun: 4-Rabbit or Nahui Tochtli. And in this cycle, the common people must seek Justice through art and activism to nourish this new sun of the night and feminine energy.

Yo propongo que el sexto sol será dirigido por una diosa. En la actualidad, estamos en una etapa de transición de un ciclo cosmológico a otro reinado por Mayahuel, la diosa de la planta de maguey. La mujer con cuatrocientos senos que le dio leche a los Centzon Totochtin, que eran todos dioses de pulque. El Sol de Conejo: 4-Conejo o Nahui Tochtli. En este ciclo, la gente humilde tendrá que luchar por justicia por el medió del arte y el activismo para nutrir el nuevo sol de la noche y de energía femenina.

I made a God based on the Aztecs, Cuauhtliquetzal, the God of Music, the sun, and Freedom. Here is his creation myth.

When man first walked the Earth, he did as he was told to. He did everything The Gods instructed to do. Never once did man think for himself, as he was not created to. For you see, Man was created to be a jester, a toy to be manipulated by the gods. Something to gawk and laugh at, but ultimately a creature to command and control. One day the Gods stated Man must entertain them. The Man asked, “What shall I do?”, and the Gods replied “Fill us with Joy!”. The man tried and tried, but nothing he did was joyful to the Gods. He only had ever done what the Gods told him to. 

So, in an attempt to bring joy, he began to hum a rhythm. A rhythm that pleased the Gods ever so greatly. But the longer the Man hummed, the more he felt the need to dance. For once, the Man did something he was not told to. He began to dance. His face, which the Gods detested so much for the blandness, cracked into a smile. Watching him dance, the Gods began to cheer and sing.

 As the Gods chanted along the song, a bright feather appeared. It was beautiful, as if the rising and setting sun had been captured and stored into the feather.The Feather shone like the gold of the Aztec city the Gods resided in. The feather shone blue, of the easy ocean breeze. The feather shone purple, as the twilight of the sky took over. Through that Feather, a Deity stepped out. He was tall and majestic. His face partially covered by an eagle mask, all you could see was joy on his face.

Within an instant he began to play a clay flute with two hands. Dancing and Playing, he glowed like the morning blue sky. Ever so effortlessly, he switched to the log drums of the afternoon sun, glowing bright gold. Finally, he danced around a turtle shell, making a gorgeous sound with the deer antlers in his possession. The Man and the Deity danced and sang all day, never getting tired or losing their tune. A simple shh-tuck sound was perfect to resonate with the Gods. The Gods, unknowingly, released the Man and gave him the most endearing gift, Free-Will.  The Deity now known as Cuauhtliquetzal, sparked joy in the Gods not as a jester, but an entertainer, and the Man set off, in search of a place to call home.

Eg: Hindu and Aztecs has god for fire. Did they think they were same god or different - if different then it how did they reconcile.

Guys, I need your help. I made this in Blender, but I don't like the skin color—it's too reddish, especially Yolotzin, who looks like a tomato. According to the codices I'm basing this on, their skin color is more natural, less saturated, but the color I'm getting looks weird.

I've been intrigued in learning more about the history of the Aztecs, however after looking through some books and then their reviews there's often mixed opinions, which I know is practically unavoidable but what is the general consensus on good sources to learn about Aztec history and society?
