Rating: 4.0; Vote: 1
Nanahuatl, weakest of the Aztec gods, sickly and covered in pimples, had been chosen to form a new world. There had already been four worlds, each set in motion by its own Lord Sun, and each had been destroyed. For a new world to be created, another god had to leap into the great bonfire and become the fifth sun. Will Nanahuatl complete the sacrifice? Kay A. Read recounts the myth of the sun. Lesson by Kay Almere Read, directed by Toms Pichardo-Espaillat

the moment you realize that humans have always interacted in a cult manner, with the most self confident person with the best story leading the people and diminishing his rivals, is the moment you should rethink about your belief system and what cult, religion or whatever you wanna call it you want to follow. Diversity is great, there need to be different belief systems so a natural selection of the best ones can happen, but it's important to realize that sometimes the best are not actually the ones most followed. IMO our system and the belief in money has brought a lot of progress for humanity, but there might come a time to rethink it. Always think ciritcally, question your beliefs and the ones of others but just as importantly tolerate those beliefs because none of us is actually right, it's just a point of view.

its insane how they added that rabbit detail for the moon, since there is an actual image of a rabbit on the moon's surface. makes me wonder if the aztec people had their own kind of telescope
reply

Oh wait i learned this in science. Apparently this is why we see a rabbit on the moon. The dark spots look like it forms a rabbit. Yall should check out the moon sometimes
reply

The four elements. Fire, wind, water, jaguar.
Who thought it would be a good idea to make toph a jaguar bender. As if she wasn't mean enough already

Dear ted, there are plenty of myths by natives (yaquis, raramuris, paipai, purepecha, etc, and it would be lovely to see more about them in here: )

How can i understand something the same time i dont understand it? Like, i know but i dont know? I think i have been in quarantine way too long.
reply

And will we continue to doubt why Aztecs were so bloodthirsty? But I like their culture it isn't similar that I know. It adorns culture of humanity.
reply

Why isn't a film studio/comic books picking on these stories? they're fascinating and mostly entertaining with beautiful colorful visuals.

It's so cool that the romans also have the myth of someone firing an arrow at the sun! And in Japan the moon is also a rabbit! So cool
