At the beginning of time, Tezcatlipoca, god of night and change, inaugurated the first era of the Aztec world, the Age of the Jaguar, inhabited by giants. However, Quetzalcoatl, god of life and order, challenged him, leading to a cosmic battle. Defeated by Quetzalcoatl, Tezcatlipoca transformed into a furious jaguar and destroyed the first era. Quetzalcoatl’s victory ended the chaos, established a new era, and restored cosmic balance, preparing the world for a new cycle.
No principle of temples, when the cosmos was still a shapeless abyss,
A being of immeasurable power emerged from the primordial mists.
Tskatlipoca, the god of night, discord and change.
His skin was black like obsidian, reflecting a darkness of emptiness,
And his eye was a smoking mirror, capable of revealing the darkest secrets of the human soul.
For the Aztecs, the universe was not a static place,
But a stage for a cosmic drama in constant motion,
based on the belief that the world had been created and destroyed many times.
Each cycle, or sun, was ruled by a different god and ended in catastrophe.
I'm opening the way for a new cycle.
Tskatlipoca, as the god of change and transformation,
You play a crucial role in this cosmic drama.
He was the first to assume the mantle of the sun, ushering in the world's first era.
Known as Nahui Ocelot, an Era of the Jaguar.
Nessa was primordial, Tskatlipoca was supreme,
molding the world according to his will.
He believed the first living things, the giants, to have inhabited the earth.
These giants were colossal creatures, with voracious appetites and enormous strength.
They fed on wild fruits and raisins.
And their footprints were so deep they formed lakes and mountains.
Under the rule of Tskatlipoca, the world was a wild and untamed place,
where nature reigned sovereign.
While Tskatlipoca reigned over the first world,
A new force is erecting no cosmic horizon.
Quetzalcoatl, a snake that was born.
Unlike Tskatlipoca, Quetzalcoatl was a god of life, wisdom and order.
He was the patron saint of two artisans, two farmers and two priests,
Master of speech and writing.
Quetzalcoatl was represented as a serpent covered in green feathers,
A symbol of fertility and renewal.
The conflict between the two gods has reached its apogee.
When Quetzalcoatl challenged Tskatlipoca for the domination of the world.
A battle that was followed by a cosmic cataclysm,
A titanic confrontation between order and chaos, light and shadow.
Quetzalcoatl, with his wit and wisdom, succeeded in overthrowing Tskatlipoca do Céu,
Turning them into a furious jaguar.
The fall of the Tskatlipoca marked the end of the Jaguar Era and the beginning of a new era.
The rage of Tskatlipoca, now a bloodthirsty jaguar, was terrible.
He's throwing himself on the giants, devouring them one by one.
A earthquake, volcanoes erupted and the sky turned red.
Total destruction was felt and the first world came to an end amidst chaos and violence.
A destruction of the first world and a fall of Tskatlipoca
I left a profound lesson for the Astecas, the importance of balance.
O reign of Tskatlipoca, marked by force brutality and arrogance,
led to destruction and chaos.
A intervention by Quetzalcoatl, the god of order and wisdom,
Restore cosmic balance, but at a terrible cost.
Despite the destruction, a hope did not die.
Quetzalcoatl, the god of life, survived a catastrophe
And with his wisdom and power he created a new world, or second sun,
It would bring new challenges and opportunities for humanity.
