Huitzilopochtli was said to wear feathers and a hummingbird helmet. He carried a shield and a weapon described as a turquoise snake. He sometimes appeared as an eagle. The Aztecs believed that Huitzilopochtli fed on human blood and hearts.

Huitzilopochtli killed his 400 half brothers , even many of them tried to run and beg for mercy, but Huitzilopochtli had no mercy with them, he hunted them like rabbits, all of them become stars in the sky after dead. Finally he confront his sister Coyolxauhqui and although she fought better than her brothers, she could not defeat Huitzilopochtli who decapitated her and threw her head and limbs into the sky, turning her into the moon along with her brothers the stars, while Huitzilopochtli became the sun, being separated from they. That's why we only see the sun during the day, and at night we see the moon surrounded by stars running from the Sun, and appearing when he is not there.

Perfect example of creation and destruction dancing simultaneously since the beginning 💯

Huitzilopochtli has been illuminated in such a profound way. In a masterful performance, this film delves into the extensive mythology of the Aztec sun god and god of war. I am captivated and amazed by the realistic portrayal of his daily struggle to overcome nightfall and bring about the dawn of a new day. I must commend the creators for their amazing depiction of this renowned god and his lasting impact on Aztec culture!

Great job with the pronunciation. Must be hard, many people have problems telling Nahuatl names.

This will be interesting. We’re diving into the Aztecs, an interesting group of people with even more interesting stories.

So, was he very small? Because those are some awfully large hummingbird feathers. A commenter mentioned he wore a hummingbird helmet too....how big are hummingbirds in Mexico?!

The title of “Aztec god of the Sun” seems to be shared by a lot of Aztec Gods

[@troya700]

That’s because the sun wasn’t a god but a job position any god could fill. Usually one god took the job for a time before the world “ended” and when the gods rebuild another took the position to symbolize the new era

Repent of Jesus, Allah, Vishnu and other false gods. Worship one and true Huitzilopochtli!!!
