Tlaltecuhtli The characterization of this deity comes from a series of appearances throughout history and from the origin of the earth. Because of the direct relationship that Tlaltecuhtli had with the earth, his image was purposely never visible. His image was represented under other works of art so that it was literally fixed to the earth, or to the ground. Therefore, a large majority of the depictions of this god have been found worked into the bottom parts of sculptures dedicated to other gods, like the Tepetlacalli – used to store pieces from self-sacrifice – or in Cuauhxicalli, vessels used to store hearts.
Tlaltecuhtli Tlaltecuhtli is represented in four forms: feminine anthropomorphous, masculine anthropomorphous, feminine zoomorphic, and as Tlaloc-Tlaltecuhtli. However, he will be described afterwards as a continuation of the most significant representations of Mexica mythology.
Tlaltecuhtli Tlaltecuhtli is a pre-Columbian Mesoamerican deity, identified from sculpture and iconography dating to the Late Postclassic period of Mesoamerican chronology (ca. 1200–1519), primarily among the Mexica (Aztec) and other Nahuatl-speaking cultures. Tlaltecuhtli is also known from several post-conquest manuscripts that surveyed Mexica mythology and belief systems, such as the "Histoyre du méchique" compiled in the mid-16th century.
Tlaltecuhtli According to Alfonso Caso There were four earth gods - Tlaltecuhtli who was male and three earth goddesses - Coatlique, Cihuacoatl and Tlazolteotl. In one of the Mexica creation accounts Tlaltecuhtli is described as a sea monster who dwelled in the ocean after the fourth Great Flood, an embodiment of the raging chaos before creation. Quetzalcoatl and Tezcatlipoca, in the form of serpents, tore him in half, throwing half upwards to create the sky and stars and leaving the other half to become the land of the earth. He remained alive, however, and demanded human blood.
