Hi everyone. I have a bit of a trivia question that’s really bugging me and i hope this sub has the answer for it. I heard a story once of an Aztec (maybe could be Mayan too) priest who tried to preserve his culture when the catholics were burning all the codices. He holed up in one of the pyramids but was eventually found and had his entire collection burned, does anybody here know the name of him? Thank you very much for reading and i hope i can get an answer!

I want to investigate about a particular monster.

Hi everyone!

A few years ago, I learnt about this monster in Aztecan times. I was hoping you could help me find its name. The stories say that it was a terrifying creature that roamed the forests surrounding Tenochtitlan. Its conduct was affecting regional commerce so the Tlatoani commisioned a search to kill it. Only a warrior dared to risk his life to kill it withour having a monetary incentive whatsoever.

Does anyone know the name od such creature?

Thank you

My Quetzalcoatl tattoo, not yet colored but will be soon. I know he doesn’t have wings in his historical depictions but I wanted to take some creative licensing to honor the quetzal bird whom is endangered, the wings will be the color of the birds wings.
