The Second Age of the Sun and the Origin of Humanity – Aztec Mythology



After the conflict that destroyed the First Age of the Sun, Quetzalcoatl created the Second Age, known as the Age of Wind, along with a new humanity made from corn, adaptable and resilient. Governed by Ehecatl, the god of wind, these humans learned to cultivate corn and build shelters against the winds, living in harmony and gratitude. However, Tezcatlipoca, envious of their prosperity, transformed into a destructive storm, turning humans into monkeys and brutally ending the cycle of the Second Sun.

  2. This fascinates me. I'm not as much a fan of Aztec mythology. As I am with Greek mythology (lots of people seem to feel the same). BUT the story is still interesting.
    More so the fact that the Aztecs were into cycles. And those cycles were constantly happening in their minds. Which leads to some very surprising things happening. 🤔

  3. I’m blown away by how engaging and informative this was! Your explanation of the gods and their roles in the Second Sun is both enlightening and entertaining. The balance between mythology and humanity’s enduring spirit was masterfully told—fantastic job!
