All things important to the Mesoamerican civilizations were recorded in the Amoxtin, long pieces of amate paper or deer skin that are the prehispanic books.
The European dichotomy good/evil was a concept #Mesoamericans found hard to comprehend. To them the world at heart was good ('cualli' in Nahuatl); with no notion of '(d)evil', these could only be translated as 'amo cualli' (not good). As for 'sin' - 'what the hell is that?'!
Tobacco - picietl ('little perfume') in #Nahuatl - was not just smoked by #Mesoamericans, it was used medicinally: ground up to treat diarrhoea, poisonous snake/spider bites, gout, headache, and as a rubdown to relieve fatigue. Image from Florentine Codex.

David Alvarez Mexican illustrator beautiful black-and-white illustrations that seem to glow from within, due the rich nuances of greys and pen strokes. They say that we dream in black and white, this is certainly a proof
Symbolism and Mesoamerican cultural themes

Ode to the #Mesoamerican #ballgame (new Aztec limerick...)
The great ritual sport known as 'tlachtli'
Was the word for the COURT itself, actually.
This game of such fame
That could leave players lame
Was 'ullamaliztli' - well, naturally!

Interesantes ilustraciones de los guerreros mesoamericanos. En la primera imagen vemos a los nahuas del posclásico. En la segunda podemos apreciar un guerrero tolteca y un par de combatientes mayas. Se distinguen por sus collares de jade y sus grandes tocados. Desconozco el autor
Some concept art of a mesoamerican golem for a studen game project. #gameart #conceptart #characterdesign
@LilNasX Here are some of my more recents that have become my favs, including a “Draw this in your style” with my original character, a mesoamerican mythical creature known as a Quinametzin! Her name is Nennemiz, náhuatl for “She will walk”. I love drawing themes of glowy floaty magic🔮✨
Five hundred years ago, a massive coalition of scrappy Mesoamerican rebel states overthrew their long-time oppressor, the Mēxihcah Triple Alliance. Some Spaniards who were there too took all the credit, then ruined everything immediately via several genocides.
There. Fixed it.
Solis in his typical vestments.
When I think of suns and gods, I think of mesoamerican design, so I wanted that for his unarmored look. 🌞
