Quetzalcoatl

The story of Quetzalcóatl, one of the most important gods in Aztec religion, is vital to both the origin and the eventual demise of the Aztecs. The Aztecs traced their roots back to the Toltec people of Northern Mexico. In this culture, Quetzalcóatl was the priest-king of Tula, the Toltec capital. As ruler, Quetzalcóatl never offered human victims for sacrifice, choosing instead to spill the blood of snakes, birds, and butterflies. However, he was expelled from Tula by another Toltec god, Tezcatlipoca. When this happened, Quetzalcóatl began wandering to the south. After walking along the “divine water” (the Atlantic Ocean), Quetzalcóatl killed himself and emerged as the planet Venus (yet another connection between destruction and creation). There is reason to believe that some version of these events actually happened. Early Toltec civilizations practiced theology and were focused on peaceful, non-violent living. However, the rulers responsible for disseminating this worldview were overthrown by a military aristocracy with a decidedly more militaristic perspective. Quetzalcóatl’s travels to the southeast could refer to the invasion of Yucatan by the Itza, a tribe that was closely associated to the Toltecs. One of the most significant connections between Quetzalcóatl and history, though, actually refers to the eventual downfall and destruction of the Aztec Empire. Legend said that Quetzalcóatl would return from his journey in a 1 Reed year (see the description of the calendar below). The year 1519 when Hernán Cortés and his team of conquistadors arrived on the coast of the Mexican Gulf was in fact a 1 Reed year. This led the ruler of the Aztecs at the time, Montezuma, to consider the arrival of the Spanish as something divine. He thought that the newcomers could be the incarnation of Quetzalcóatl, and this caused him to welcome them with open arms. This obviously proved to be a fatal mistake, as the Aztec Empire would crumble within just a few years after their first contact with the Spanish. Quetzalcóatl represented many things to many different people. He was first conceived to be the god of vegetation, or of earth and water. In this sense, he was closely related to Tlaloc, the rain god. After a while, Quetzalcóatl’s cult began to revere him as a heavenly body, linking him with the morning and evening star. During the peak of the Aztecs, Quetzalcóatl was the patron of priests, the inventor of the calendar and books, and the protector of goldsmiths and other craftsmen. And he was also closely related to the planet Venus. Quetzalcóatl is also credited with bringing life to this Earth. He was the one who traveled down into Mictlan to gather the bones of the dead. and used his blood to bring them to life, further emphasizing the role of blood and sacrifice in creating life.

Silbato azteca de la muerte simula gritos y es catalogado como de los sonidos más aterradores registrados. Los aztecas usaban varios para asustar a sus enemigos y generar la percepción de que la muerte los estaba acechando.

Descubierto por primera vez en 1999 durante las excavaciones del Templo de Quetzalcóatl en Tela Telco, Ciudad de México. Lugar donde se estipula que se realizaron sacrificios humanos.

Creí que podría, pero al final decidí rendirme. Se que prometí terminarlo, pero es difícil, todos los días me cuestiono "¿está interesante lo que hago?" ...No pude cumplir la promesa y me siento fatal. No se merecen una disculpa, aún si realmente me siento muy mal. Tal vez no deba tomarle tanta importancia, ya que "es un simple webcomic". Me rindo, no puedo, realmente no puedo, Ni con el comic, ni con mi vida.
