| 説明 | Museo Nacional de Antropología, México city.Prehispanic people considered the light and warmth of the Sun to be equal to life itself. Therefore their creation myths saw in the presence and destruction of that star the precarious nature o life and the need for men to help maintain the Sunas the supreme deity.The creation myth, the cosmogonic suns, explains how different gods played a part. The essential aspect is the nature of each of these stars, that in their momont ruled the different stages of life. The first sun was earth, it's patrón, Texcatlipoca, and it's signs, the jaguar and darkness. The second sun was created by Quetzalcóatl, the wind being his nature, tied to Tlaloc to make the third sun, in the form of a man of fire, and Chalchuhtlicue made the water Sun, which took the fourth position. All of them were created and destroyed by the very essence of their nature. The four elements of life, having come together: earth, wind, fire and water, in the fifth creation ot was the turn of two other noumena: Nanahuatzin and Tecuciztécatl, who became the Sun and Moon respectively. For this act of generation to take place, both gods had to set themselves on fire. that is why when man was created, he had to repay the gods with his and his enemies' blood. The son equalsthe victorious warrior who wins over his contraries (the Moon and the stars) or makes them run away. He clears away the shadows and the darkness and brings the light and warmth that illuminate the universe. Piedra del Sol: (Stone of the Sun?)The scultoric monument refered to the Mexica people by excellence is Piedra del Sol, found in december 1970, at Zócalo, México city. For its simbolic content, where days and cosmogonic suns can be found, it was unfairly called Calendario Azteca.It's abou a great gladiatoire sacrifice altar, known as temalacatl, which was not concluded due to a profund break, which starts in one of it's sides and goes to the center of the piece through the back. But in spite of the fracture, it was used with the purpose of sustenting the fight of the warriors in the Tracaxipehualiztli ceremonyIn the design of the disc we can recognize the face of Xiuhtecuhtli, who emerges from the hole in the earth, holding a couple of human hearts, and showing his tongue transformed into a sacrifice knife. He is surrounded by the Four Suns which preceded the Fifth Sun, also inscribed (the 4 suns) into the sequence of the twenty signs of the days; which are surrounded by the digure of the Sun with his four rays, accompained simetrically by the prongs of sacrifice. Surrouning the aster there are two Xiuhcóatl or "Fire serpent", who take him through the firmaments.To see an image of Xiuhcóatl: flickr.com/photos/bombarosa/2294105500/Info: Museo Nacional de Antropología, México city. Lousy translation: Bomba Rosa.. heheheI'm not sure it's true, but I've heard that the face has almost dissappeared because some french soldiers used it as a shooting target.. hehe I hope it's not true :P |
