Who was the sun god for the mayans?

Answer 1

Tonatiuh was a sun god throughout central Mexico of the present age we live in, (there were 5 altogether), he started out as a Toltec god and was later adopted into both Maya and Aztec mythologies. According to the Aztecs, Tonatiuh started out as Nanautzin, a god of no importance, and through good luck acquired the position of god of the sun of the current age. Tonatiuh was responsible for the sun moving through the sky, and the Aztecs sacrificed countless humans to keep this happening.

Answer 2

Coyolxauhqui the goddess of the moon.

Upon the pregnancy of her mother Coatlicue (Earth goddess) by a ball-of-feathers embarrassed Coyolxauhqui and her brothers (numbered 400; the Centzonhuitznaua or "Four Hundred Southerners," star gods). They attacked her, but before they could kill her, the son of this pregnancy was born, Huitzilopochtli God of War and the sun.

He killed his brothers and his sister Coyolxauhqui, and her dismembered head became the moon.
