The mythology of the South American people is multifaceted. She describes the creation of the world by the gods, the control of the elements, the cycle of life. Ometeotl is the root cause of everything, the creator of the universe. The main gods: Huitzilopochtli (sun) and Quetzalcoatl (creator) created heaven and earth. The pantheon of the gods of the ancient Aztecs is very extensive. It includes the deities of the elements, love, war and death.
Aztec myths are diverse and culturally different from the myths of other ancient peoples. The Aztecs believed that before us there were four worlds (civilizations), each of which ended in disaster. Life was revived thanks to the efforts of the gods. The era of "four jaguars" ended with the extermination of giants by predators, the second era of "four winds" ended with terrible hurricanes. The civilization of the “four rains” perished in a fiery rain, the era of “four waters” disappeared as a result of the flood. At present, according to the Aztec myths, the civilization of the "four earthquakes" has come, which will end in terrible cataclysms.
