	The Aztec Creation of the Sun & Moon Lore (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-02)
		When the gods decided it was time for a new creation, they assembled themselves at Teotihuacan to decide who should receive the task of becoming the sun.
		After some discussion, it was decided that two of them, Tecuciztecatl and Nanauatzin, should sacrifice themselves to bring light to the world.
		Nanauatzin however, was determined and resolved and did not falter, but quickly threw himself into the fire and was burned.

		Nanauatzin, yo resisto a imaginarme que la presencia física, ya fuera de Jesucristo o Quetzalcoatl, pudiera tener un efecto más profundo y determinante en cualquier ser humano, que las enseñanzas que ya nos han dejado.

		Nanauatzin was next and without hesitation plunged into the fire (becoming the sun).
		But it wasn't enough, and Quetzalcoatl gathered all of his strength and blew such a fierce wind that the sun was blown on the right course.
		The story is basically the same except that it is Quetzalcoatl and Tlaloc's sons that play the roles of Nanauatzin and Tecuciztecatl.

	Huitzilopochtli (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-02)
		In Aztec mythology Huitzilopochtli was among the gods at the beginning of the world when they decided they needed a sun.
		Nanauatzin the future moon god was too cowardly to jump into the fire to become this celestial power and so Huitzilopochtli became the sun god because of His braveness and willingness to risk His life.
		The rest of the gods then threw ashes into the face of Nanauatzin who then became the moon god.

		For this reason, after the end of the fourth epoch, the sun failed to shine for 52 years (a full “round”) because there was too much evil to kindle a sun without sacrifice.
		A poor, ugly and “scabby” god named Nanauatzin took pity on mankind, and jumped into the flame sacrificing himself to become the “Fifth Sun”.
		However, although brave and self sacrificing, Nanauatzin was not able to keep the sun alive without human sacrifice in addition to his own.

		In order to sustain the sun which had been so perilously born in earlier time, human hearts had to be continually ripped out.
		The Nahuatl parallel to this section of the Popol Vuh had already been alluded to, in the story of the long darkness at Teotihuacan which could only be ended by the self-sacrifice of Nanauatzin and Tecuciztecatl.
		There too the motif of fire is central, for the gods are gathered around a fire in the darkness and it is into this fire that the sacrificial victims must cast themselves.

		All this belongs more with the Chichimec traditions told in the Legend and the Cuauhtitlan Annals, which attach to the epic of Quetzalcoatl who brings up the bones then ground by Quilaztli, and finds sustaining maize at Tamoanchan, at the start of the fifth Sun 4 Ollin set in motion by Nanauatzin at Teotihuacan.
