One thing I noticed (that others have as well) is that the gods in the show are an amalgamation of many. For example, Acat seems to have some references to Ītzpāpālōtl, "Obsidian butterfly."

Acat's "feathers" turn into obsidian daggers, same as Ītzpāpālōtl's.

Okay, this has been driving me up a wall for awhile now, but I can't find much information about it.

Does anyone know who this figure is?

#Archaeology31 day 22: Red

The Tlatlauhqui Tezcatlipoca, or the Red Tezcatlipoca, from "Historia de los Mexicanos por sus pinturas".

Named Camaxtle, Camaxtli, or Mixcoatl (who he transforms into in chapter 8).

His depiction here is from the Codex Magliabecchiano (pg 42r).

#Archaeology31 Day 13: Gender

I have a lot I'd like to say about this topic, but my thoughts are a jumbled, rambly mess right now, so I'll start with this:

Tēcciztēcatl as a gender-changing (or genderfluid) deity

On a more serious note, the show appears to adapt Quetzalcoatl's design straight from page 22 of the Codex Borbonicus, where he's shown holding an actual snake.

Okay, so, everyone (rightfully) loves Meque, but can we talk about..............

HIM???

#OnyxEquinox

One of my favorite details from #OnyxEquinox - an ehecailacocozcatl in Ep 9!

Very few of these have survived to the present day!

Johannes also pointed out that there is some sort of blue figure who looks like Tezcatlipoca in the Codex Fejéváry-Mayer but that this version doesn't seem related to Huitzilopochtli in the slightest (also his eyes are missing and it's slightly horrifying).

I'm bad at introductions, so let's just jump to the point, shall we?

The "myth" of the Four Tezcatlipocas, and why it...doesn't really exist 😅

2) "His brother serves Mictlāntēcuhtli."

A reference to Xolotl, nāhualli and twin to Quetzalcōātl. I've discussed him before, but I did find it veeeeery interesting that he was brought up in the first episode. 👀
