what's the book's name? :)
I love how they just yeeted a random rabbit into the second sun/moon, that's such a random way to explain the craters on the moon and it's awesome.
LIES! LIES! LIES!...Early Europeans, the Celts were cannibals eating each others, also Africans, Americans of south or north were also cannibals, but the worst of those cannibals were the Aztecs of Tenochtitlan, Mexico. They butcher half of a million people EVERY YEARS! Their trunquated piramids were used to butchered half a million victims and their members were slipped own their bloody steep steps to the bottom to be caught by the people to take them home to cook them with salt, tomato, onion and chili inside their homes! NOTICE HOW TODAY THE MEXICANS ARE HIDING THEIR ATROCITIES!...They even try to blame the cannibalism on the Spaniards!🤮🤮🤮🤮
@@hotspur666 nobody is hiding anything and EVERY major culture or group has had cannibals at some time in their history. Get over yourself
Lol rabbits represent fertility, and the moon regulates the menstrual process
They should make an Assassin’s Creed based of Aztec mythology just like Origins, Odyssey, and Valhalla
They only care about Europe.
@@swargpatel7634 They did Egypt so...that's not Europe that's north African. So uh yeeeaah...
Bro I've been thinking the same thing since black flag.I think it would be badass
Haven’t played an AC game since origins came out (last good game IMO), but I would snatch this up in a heartbeat.
@Alexis Cruz wouldn't really feel Aztec. It'd be better if it was before spain
Aztecs had poetry festivals and poetry was the highest level of art because it comprised of passion creativity and uniqueness.
they also filled towers full of baby skulls - this culture does not deserve an ounce of glorification
@@whitleypedia tHeY FiLLeD tOWeRs wITh..... shut the fk up. You act like other ancient civilizations didn't give offerings to their "gods" be it human animal or otherwise
@@alx123094 and all you SJW apologists act like no other culture conquered other cultures besides the Spanish. Your worldview is fundamentally wrong.
@@whitleypedia I mean, if that's the case, no culture ever deserves an ounce of glorification, in fact, no person does either. Everyone from Spain, France, Great Britain, the US, they've all killed children and babies.
@@manofhealing None of them with the brutality of the Aztecs.
Interesting how many cultures have the great flood events in their mythos
Giants as well.
I think floods at the time would’ve been conceived as one of the worst possible scenarios, since they would have relied on land a lot back then (not that we don’t now).
I agree, I always thought the flood stories came from when all the glaciers melted after the Ice Age, and the stories of the floods survived and got molded in religion and myth.
The Bible says the angels who left their first estate married human girls and bore sons called nephilim. Evil was continually in everyone’s heart and that’s when God decided to flood the earth. Many people try to write the Bible off as crazy old ramblings but there’s truth to it.
@@thegreatiam8600 Sorry dude but the bible really is only crazy old ramblings. None of it has any basis to scientific truth and the most realistic thing is that people got intensily high and thought that God was sending them visions
I love how human the gods are.

We are all god
Humans, in their vanity, created god to their likeness
I love how god the humans are.
Not really lol
Too bad the Spanish destroyed most of the Aztec books who knows what else was written
True
The Spanish fell to the center of the earth it's true

You people are re+arded
I dont think it's a coincidence this story is a lot like Dark Souls. Reviving the sun through engulfing oneself in flame... Miyazaki really did his research.
And yet the way Latin America fights to this day is the most anti-soulsborne spectrum of fighting styles
Sun worship and sacrifice was common throught the world in previous ages.
Dark Souls is inspired by Runequests Glorantha's lore, which in turn is inspired by Meso-American, Mesopotamian and Egyptian mythology.
Im Mexican born and when they thought us about our ancestors they never mention the creation because (I think) they were conquered by a very Catholic people that mostly got rid of a lot of writings and stuff that had lots of info like our origins, regardless of it, or if it sounds like fairytales, it’s very interesting subject, glad I know the story know thanks!
Funny thing is how the Aztec speaks of giants and flooding and so does Catholicism simply traded one for another.
Hawah
@@solisprime2669 Lots of myths speak of a great deluge of some sort, even Greek myths
@@idkwhatimdoing5268 that's what's scary people spread all have common themes and stories. Makes you wonder.
@@solisprime2669 exactly, it's pretty interesting with the similarities and differences between mythos
Another version I know is that Cipactli wasn't just a random fish that was made into the ground and mountains for the world. It was supposed to be a ginormous reptile with several mouths, who ruled the earth which was entirely flooded.
Then Quetzalcoatl and Tezcatlipoca joined forces to defeat him and create a new world. Tezcatlipoca sacrificed his own foot to attract Cipactli into a trap, and slayed by Quetzalcoatl. Cipactli would be torned apart to create the world from its body, and the myth says that if Cipactli's body reforms again from its pieces, it would mean the end of the world

So interesting how there are 5 suns or ages in this mythology. Reminds me of the Ancient Greek 5 Ages. The Golden age, Silver age, Bronze Age, age of heros and the Iron age. Which is apparently the age we live today.
because they are all connected just like all the pyramids interconnect its not random
@@DRACO1ONER Kinda, although the love for human sacrifice was really popular among the Aztec and Maya. It wasnt really so in Ancient Greece.
@@andradeharo9796 You dont have a proper understanding on how the ancient Greeks and the original meaning of paedophilia was.
Although I do disagree completely with the sexualisation of children in any era and what modern pedophilia is.
But maybe in forgotten history, humanity truly has gone through 5 cycles ended by natural disaster and rebuilt. The only memory surviving from these myths. It's very intriguing.
I thought we lived in “The New Age” - Imagine Dragons
@@Aristocratic13 According to the Mayan calendar, we are. The new age started in 2012.
There should be a movie about this. Not about the documentary but a hypothetical reality of these gods. I wanna see these gods get mad and do stuff and of course showing the Aztec art with it.
You might like Onyx Equinox
I want this for a lot of these cultures. Next on my list would be a movie about any of the african myths but currently what I want the most is something about Sumerian mythology. The epic of gilgamesh might be a trippy movie
@@Trollamollex Good depictions of pre-Columbian civilizations have another layer of significance for indigenous americans and latines because our history is so colonized that mainstream stuff usually ignores indigenous history.
I immediately imagined a God of War where Kratos and Atreus travel to Ancient Mexico
watch Apocalypto

Glad you liked it!
Nanahuatzin is the true icon here: feast on the blood of those that bullied you.
Wow, this is a much different version from the one I heard at OSP, it even makes Quetzalcoatl looklike a bad guy.
OSP is great for a basic overview because that is their goal. To make short and informative videos while having some fun so they don't always go into a ton of detail and brush over some things. They did mention Quetxalcoatil fighting his brothers they just simplified it. I like coming here after watching their videos to see if I can find more details for the ones that interest me

Omg I'm from Mexico and it feels really weird to hear somebody pronounce these names whit an English accent. Really liked the video c:
This is awesome! I’ve studied Hinduism and Buddhism and find them interesting but I’ll never be able to remember the names of the Aztec gods! Shiva and Ganesh is a lot easier than Tonacatecuhtli and Tonacacihuatl 😨😅
i wish i was named by them instead of a saint in a bible
Nanahuatzin is comparable to Shiva who lived a loner life of acsecticism maybe that of his son Kartikeya who's represented with the numbers 666 of his birth respectively not including references of the Bible.
Or possibly my opinion Ganapati & Murugan compete for the love of there parents much like the tale of circling the universe 3 times.
Or as hunuman of the creation of the wind and humans become monkeys. 🤔
@@nativeam25 I m hindu & let me tell u lord Hanuman was not monkey turned human form he was from a hybrid species of both known as vanar(monkey primarily but stands like human & can talk) more like pre stages of todays humans so don't be disrespectful its not mythology
Another awesome video. It’s so worth the long wait.
Your voice is perfect for narration! I'm not even halfway through but I'm totally hooked on this video, it feels like childhood storytime all over again :D
Ive always loved this creation story. The way it highlights their sacrifice and hard work also their mistakes. They're not the perfect being we're used to these days. Rather they are an example to humanity of how to work together and to never settle for less to b humble and to sacrifice ourselves for those we love.
And sacrifice lots and lots of sacrifice.
@Johnny Michoacan I doubt pedophilia was a European creation many cultures practiced it like in the Middle East, Asia, Africa and Americas.
Much like racism it was a universal creation with no real starting point.
@@solisprime2669 pedophilia comes since the beginning of humanity. Since the roman empire found these evil religions in the different reigns they conquered. Even longer back in time the Phoenicians used to worship gods that demanded the sacrifice of children, including pedophilia practices. Pedophilia as a human problem(crime) exists anywhere, but as an(hidden)accepted general practice, took part far away from the new world.
@@solisprime2669ohhh yeah. Can’t forget the sacrifice. Look how far we’ve plummeted as a society due to our remission of the sanctity of sacrifice not just for our own selfish benefit
Creation story is very intriguing. The destruction of worlds has many parallels globally, and a few line up with current theories. One sounds like coronal mass ejection, another an extraterrestrial impact, possibly another type of plasma event "squatter man". There's also a theory where Saturn was our primary sun in conjunction with current. Very interesting. Thanks
Hi. If you put different myths together, you get informations that show humans knew about the creation of everything that happened before they even existed. And if you take în consideration how they were wiped out a few times, it gets interesting. How could they have known about destructions that now were already covered up because time has gone by since they happebed? Someone mustve told them. Who? I do think we really were created and we were supposed to behave în a certain way. We just got so displaced and lost parts of what we were supposed to know and obey. I think that one good way of knowing how to behave is putting yourself în others peoples shoes. If you see that we all suffer, all beings suffer, then trying not to add more suffering seems tge right way of acting.
Fantastic video! I love how all the characters are the same all over the world with no communication between them. Just the names have been changed.
Probably the only way to understand the legend. Thank you for creating this. JJares
Appreciate the unbiased approach! Thanks for sharing this important mythology...

Pillar men?
Amazing work! And by the way, Quetzalcoatl was the one who threw the rabbit into the second sun to turn it into the moon. Also, one of the gods who was sacrificed to make the sun/tonatiuh move was Xolotl, Quetzalcoatl's twin brother. So... yeah, Quetzalcoatl sacrificed his twin brother in order to make the sun move, no wonder other myths say he hates sacrifices.
Tlazocamati Pialli, I am loving this video that randomly gifted me so much ! grateful that you populated in my queue
THE AZTEC LEGEND OF THE FIRST HUMANS OF THE FIFTH SUN
During the fifth Sun, under the worship of Quetzalcoatl, the gods met and decided to establish a new human species that would settle the earth. Quetzalcoatl went to Mictlantecuhtli, this was the lord of the underworld and lord of the shadows.
Mictlantecuhtli exercised its sovereignty over the Mictlan, the nine underground rivers.
Quetzalcoatl told Mictlantecuhtli that he was coming for the bones that were in his custody.
He did not want to give them to him because he asked him to pass a test.
He had to sound the snail that was offered and turn it four times around the inner circle.
But the snail had no hole where Quatzalcoatl could go spinning around.
Then he called the worms to make the holes and the bees to come in and blow the snail.
When he heard it, Mictlantecuhtli had no choice but to give him the bones. He immediately regretted that the bones belonged to the past generations and his place was there, in Mictlán.
Mictlantecuhtli sent some quail in pursuit and got Quetzalcoatl to lose the bones, Quetzalcoatl did not give in and as he walked to where those bones were he sent his double and made them believe that he was coming back to life. The bones of a woman and the bones of man were separate, it was only a question of tying them up and taking them away. Quetzalcoatl already ascended from Mictlán and Mictlantecuhtli thought that he still had time to recover the precious objects and ordered his servants to dig a hole. Rushing forward, they overtook Quetzalcoatl, who fell dead in its depths.
As it fell, it released the bones, which quickly spread all over the surface.
But Quetzalcoatl resuscitated and picked up the remains again. Outside was the maid Quilaztli, who ground the bones and placed them in a vessel of singular beauty, while Queatzalcoatl rested from his mission.
Then the gods gathered and Quetzalcoatl poured his blood on the dust of the bones.
All did penance and, finally, decreed the birth of the humans of the Fifth Sun.
Also in the process Quetzalcoatl lost a few bones quarreling with mictlantecuhtli which is why we aren’t giants anymore and why we got shorter as humans
Why this channel is so underrated
Beautiful!!! What an effort to make this beautiful video!
My favorite end of the world Aztec story was the part where it rains Jaguars
That's metal as fuck
I love how the Gods were so humanized and could even be petty. Extremely wild creation story.
Sounds like a good anime story ngl
Crunchyroll already did that and they literally ruined great potential for an anime based on mezoamerican culture and not even in "anime style"
It is indeed.
It's a Jojo reference.
Don’t ever disrespect Aztec history with that bull shit
It would be great to have a series based on the Aztec creation myth, especially with great animation
@Ta pure bullshit
I love the way all the names feel upon my tongue! Thank you for the pronunciations! Now I’m saying them all the time! Think I’ll save this video for future dog names.
The Mexicah people or the Aztecs as the world better knows them took their religion from the Toltecs just like the Romans took theirs from the Greeks. The Toltec civilization is much older than the Mexicah civilization, the Mexicah just adopted and adapted the Toltec Gods and mythology to their religion. By the way, Mexico and the world should start giving more credit to the other Mesoamerican civilizations, ancient Mexico was much more than Aztecs and Mayans.
Now, if you look at the Sumerian version (and some others too) of the creation you will notice immediately the remarkable similarities they share, this is when you start asking yourself: what the hell has been going on here?, Are these just strange coincidences? or maybe someone has been playing games with our minds for a long time.
According to this mythology there's one more age the humanity has to go through: The Sixth Sun, where everything will be renewed again, that meaning everything must be destroyed and created again.
I like your video, it's educational, dynamic, easy to understand and fun, greetings from Mexico.

Thank you for sharing this valuable information 😊
You sir have earned a subscriber thank you for teaching me about my ancestry ❤️
Has anybody notice about how this creation myth is basically behind the idea of Darwin's evolution theory? In each world the gods create in their ins and out of power, a great catastrophe is sent upon the earth, which makes the current inhabitants do one of two things: die or survive. And in each catastrophe, the survivors evolve to a form that can withstand whatever came before, for example: when the world got flooded, and most people drawn, the survivors became the fish; after there was a big storm, and heavy winds blew the people away, then birds came into being. It's at its core natural selection distilled. It's actually rather beautiful and well thought
Yeah, i also noticed that, glad i'm not the only one
Creation myths from other cutures would be fairly different than that of say those of the Middle East which is where the Abhramic Relgion comes from.
Death, adaptation, evolution, and change are likely the realities of those cultures especially in a environment where such realities would be a constant things.

It’d be interesting to figure out how “half a sun” came to be. If stories were passed down from their ancestors about land bridges that eventually “sunk” ~ though it’s probably more likely to be related to a solar eclipse ~ or just the moon.
It's probably half the size of our current sun and not a circle cut in half
@@ramongraciano5669 wow this makes me really wonder if in the ancient time the sun was young and actually smaller than it is today because it has been swelling as a maturing star.
Love the Calendar was done before the full completion of the Sun!
Great video! Love mythos!
my dad always had a saying "conejo de la luna" which translates to rabbit in the moon. I never understood why he would say that til now. I know now that it comes from an old aztec story about the moon.
This sounds like a general back story to the eastern religions.
You got the river Gods - hindu
The twin sons thrown in the fire- egyptian
The brothers who turned into a tree- nortic
The 5th son that made the morning star fall and made all other Gods sacrifice themselves- christianity
because they're all the same.
Wow, this is interesting!
Interesting thing is, they were western.
Hidden Cosmology of course
There's a reason all of the ancient people had similar creation stories... GOD is real
Very interesting. I was familiar with Huitzilopochtli as the sun god but did not know until watching this video there were other Aztec sun gods with different names or that there were several different creation stories. Makes me wonder if the Aztecs absorbed or added the mythos of the tribes they conquered into their religion, which may explain why so many different versions of the creation story.

Best illustrated and yeah the animation is so real
This is a great and super informative video!!!
Pretty different story from what I heard. Huitzilopochtli killed his 400 brothers who became the stars and killed Coyolxauhqui and threw her head into the sky and it became the moon. He was born on the day that he killed his siblings. He was born as an adult, fully armored and his mother created the legendary weapon with which he cut and dismembered his siblings.
He does mentioned that there’s several creation myths in the Nahua culture, so some people might’ve heard different stories. The myth you’re thinking of is also quite popular, but very different to the one in the video. The Spanish destroyed nearly all of the Aztec scriptures, so we have no way of knowing what was canon. When it comes to the version you’re mentioning though it’s important to make a note of the difference between the Aztecs and the Mexica. The Mexica were a group of Aztecs who lived in tenochtitlan and their primary god was Huitzilopochtli. But not all Aztecs were Mexica and they didn’t all worship Huitzi as their primary god. Despite having the same genetic makeup and origins as the Mexica, the main god of most other groups was Quetzalcoatl. I believe the creation myth of Huitzilopchtli you’re referring to might’ve been the version created by the Mexica for the sake of their god and to elevate his importance, but most other Nahuatl peoples didn’t really care about Huitzi and likely followed some deviation of the stories in this video.
The Myth of the Suns is probably heavily influenced by older civilizations in Central Mexico. The creation story of Huitzilopochtli is probably a specific creation story to the Mexika.
I camt buy any of this am i too skeptic?
really, really, really, really good video. extraordinary. superb presentation.

sound like a story for new dark souls game
I came across this video when searching Aztec mythology game hoping I'd find a video game that does some justice to the stories of prehispanic civilizations because I would love to see a video game with all the gods and creatures, real and mythical environments and art and concepts based on these cultures. I'd love a dark souls type of game where you fight these gods at the top of pyramids or go travel through the mictlan as you're supposed to when you die.
Beautiful, very accurate. Åsė.
Wow the story is stuck in my head
the way that the moon was made has me dead LMAO

All I got from this is that aztec people during their time has obsession with the sun.
Yes, yes we did
the sun is eternal or sorta i mean todays power its all about the sun as it was back then
Actually all civilizations were obsessed with the sun. They just have different names or depictions.
The name Aztec itself translates to people of the sun

QUETZALCOATL
The main mythological god of Mexico 🇲🇽 is Quetzalcoatl.
Just as the Greeks have Zeus, the Nordics to Odin, the Egyptians to Amon-Ra.
We Mexicans 🇲🇽 have Quetzalcoatl.
According to Aztec mythology is the creator god, creator of man, god of life, light, wisdom, fertility and knowledge, pattern of the day and the winds, the ruler of the West.
Ancient Mexico wasn't a unified or a single country back then, it was formed of many nations and every nation worshiped one god more than others, for the Mexicah the main god was Huitzilopochtli.

@@LEGIONARIO1970 so like greek athens and spartan worship different gods but same religion mythology

Huitzilopochtli is the most powerful god though, they had built him a place in Templo Mayor along with Tlaloc. Huitzilopochtli is god of the sun, war, human sacrifice, gold, and rulership and the patron god of the Aztecs, by mere seconds of being born he had killed his sister the moon and his siblings the 400 stars. He is the supreme god of the Aztecs.
Kinda interesting how in every mythological tale theres a global flood,something clearly happened
Yeah. And a lot more specifically the same stories.
Even in the great flood of noah the sky "falls" we jews called it the firmament
Before that rain wasnt needed. It was like a super oxygen based wet placenta around earth. While it sounds dumb at face value. Upon learning that this would be necessary for giants and dinosaurs to survive less they collapse in on themselves it gains credence.
Then shortly after chunks of those gods were divided among the earth to help bring stability. Which with according to the bible would be around the time God took the sons of God aka small g gods and assigned them different locations to help humans after the tower of babel incident. Its also in sync with northern American native lore
@@evilovesperry I have never heard that before.
Possibly from the melting of the glaciers after the last Ice Age 🤔
yeah. floods happened.
and you know what's scarier than a flood? making it global.
Why do I get rhe feeling this is the exact lore style behind the dark souls series!! Great vid
its amazing how our minds creates something out of boredom
two primordial beings "substances" and the children were gravity, electromagnetism, the weak and strong forces.
😃👏👏👏👏
To see the pattern is to understand.
@@prodigalson6166 pretending that we see doesn't give us the sight.
@@VansLudwig you can say that about everything though 😔
It’s amazing the similarities between this creation story, the Indian story, and the sumarian story that was adopted by Christianity. There’s something to that if from different parts of the world you hear the same story. These parts of the world might also have been connected if you look at other things like stonework and such.
Ehm Babylon
Subbed!
Thank you.
Aztec gods smoked some serious weed
Peyote sounds familiar?
DMT
Wheeze
Psilocybin was reserved for the upper class including priests. Not weed but a whole bunch of shrooms.
I'm sure they drank tons of mescal
From the story I red, the age of the third sun ended because Tezcatlipoca raped and took away Tlaloc's first wife; sad Tlaloc has sunken himself into grieve, and he stopped doing his job as the god of the rain. After a long time without raining, the lands became dry and water are gone from earth. Humans gathered together, begging Tlaloc for rain fall day by day. Tlaloc, still in grieve, was annoyed by their voices, thus he gave the people a rain of fire, which destroyed the world.
EXCELLENT!
Found this video by chance...or was it.....? LOL! I loved it. I was told I was of Mayan decent so I am going to check now if you have any of those videos.
If you haven’t discovered already you should check out the Popol Vuh which is a translation of sacred Maya text.
No different from the Viking view on creation in a way. And the Maasi of Africa mix the blood of their cattle with milk because water in Africa is full of parasites more often than not. Right or wrong these stories are what we are used to and our way of making sense of things we have yet to investigate. Thunder blew our minds for a long time. There is more to such energies. Lightening might be mechanical, but there are more subtle energies that we don't notice.
Actually we have a lot in common with the vikings, specially with all the sacrifice thing
