The Aztec creation myth describes five suns, each representing a different era of the world, known as "suns," which were created and destroyed in cycles. The first sun, called Tezcatlipoca, was made of earth and was destroyed by jaguars; the second sun, Quetzalcoatl, was made of wind and was extinguished by a great flood; the third sun, Tlaloc, was made of fire and was consumed by a rain of fire; the fourth sun, the current one, is made of movement and is associated with the god Tonatiuh. According to the myth, the future sun will be made of a combination of both fire and earth, leading to the end of the current era.

What were the 5 suns?

In Aztec mythology, the Five Suns represent five distinct eras of creation, each associated with a different sun that governed the world during its time. The first sun was Tezcatlipoca, followed by the sun of Quetzalcoatl, then Tlaloc, the rain god. The fourth sun was associated with Xipe Totec, and the current era (the fifth sun) is linked to Huitzilopochtli, the god of war and the sun. Each sun is said to have met its end through various cataclysmic events, such as floods or destruction by beasts, symbolizing cycles of life, death, and rebirth.
