Tonatiuh - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia |
 | | In Aztec mythology, Tonatiuh was the sun god. |
 | | It is said that 20,000 people were sacrificed each year to Tonatiuh and other gods, though this number is thought to be inflated either by the Aztecs, who wanted to inspire fear in their enemies, or the Spaniards, who wanted to vilify the Aztecs. |
 | | The Aztecs were fascinated by the sun and carefully observed it, and had a solar calendar second only in accuracy to the Mayans'. |
