In Aztec tales, the Five Suns represent the different epochs of creation, each ruled by a distinct sun. Each sun was associated with certain gods, events, and ultimately, the destruction of humanity. The final sun, the current one, is associated with Huitzilopochtli, the god of war and the sun, emphasizing the importance of sacrifice to maintain the world’s balance and prevent chaos. The cyclical nature of these tales highlights the Aztec worldview of life, death, and regeneration.
