Description: This fascinating collection explores the history culture gods calendar myths and tales of the Aztec people the Incas the Mayans and other Mesoamerican and Central American peoples from migration legends to the origin myth of the Five Suns. Though the Olmecs (1250 200 BCE) were the first civilization in Mexico the Aztecs (1325 1521) were Mesoamerica's last dominant indigenous civilization and often the one that is thought about without understanding the region's rich diversity. Like the 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 collection brings together the stories and the history into a fine and collectable new volume in the Flame Tree Epic Tales series.
