Pictured above is an absolutely surreal Aztec deity of death – a quite literally dead god! He’s just one of several supernatural beings connected with Mictlan, the Land of the Dead.
My sixth gallery of refurbished/repaired/restored/recreated images from the ancient codices features The Aztec Deities of Death including Mictlantecuhtli, Mictlancihuatl, Tlaltecuhtli, Xolotl, Itztlacoliuhqui, and Chalmecatecuhtli. Check it out for some mind-bending visions from the Aztec Underworld.
