Aztecs’ Five Suns Creation Myth And Prophecy
AncientPages.com | July 18, 2018
A. Sutherland - AncientPages.com - Although the Aztecs had several creation myths, perhaps the most widely known is story of the five suns, including the Earth Sun, the Wind Sun, the Rain Sun, the Water Sun and the Earthquake Sun.
There are some similarities between Aztecs’ creation myth of the five suns and ancient Greeks myths that describe how each human race created by the gods was less advanced than the previous one. In our article about gods’ creation of five different human races we talked about how previous ancient races were doomed to be destroyed. Like many other ancient civilizations, the Aztecs saw time as a cyclical process and they were convinced that the world we live in, will eventually be destroyed, just like the previous worlds were.
