Overview

Before the first sunrise, before time itself began, the gods fought, loved, and bled to keep the universe alive. In Aztec Mythology: Tales of Divine Power, Human Sacrifice, and the Endless Battle to Sustain Creation, by Kenneth M. Simmons takes you deep into one of the most breathtaking and mysterious mythologies ever told. This is the story of how the Aztec gods built the world again and again, each time through fire, flood, and sacrifice-until they gave everything to create the light that still burns above us today. Few people know that according to the Aztecs, our world has already died four times. Each age-called a Sun-was destroyed by jaguars, storms, fire, or floods. What you're about to discover will change how you see creation, life, and the fragile balance that keeps everything from collapsing back into darkness. Follow the divine twins Quetzalcoatl and Tezcatlipoca as they battle for control of existence, walk through the sacred fires of Teotihuacan where the humble god Nanahuatzin becomes the Sun, and witness the moment when even the gods realize that only sacrifice can keep the world alive. Every chapter brings to life the struggle, beauty, and spiritual depth of a civilization that saw every sunrise as a victory earned through devotion. This is more than mythology-it is a mirror of the human condition. Through poetic storytelling and vivid historical detail, you will learn why the Aztecs believed life and death were not opposites but partners, and how their myths shaped an entire worldview grounded in courage, humility, and purpose. Perfect for readers of world mythology, history lovers, and seekers of meaning in ancient wisdom, this book reveals the timeless truth hidden behind the legends-the universe survives only because someone dares to give.
