Aztec Creation Story The mother of the Aztec creation story was called "Coatlique", the Lady of the Skirt of Snakes. She was created in the image of the unknown, decorated with skulls, snakes, and lacerated hands. There are no cracks in her body and she is a perfect monolith (a totality of intensity and self-containment, yet her features were square and decapitated). Coatlique was first impregnated by an obsidian knife and gave birth to Coyolxanuhqui, goddess of the moon, and to a group of male offspring, who became the stars. Then one day Coatlique found a ball of feathers, which she tucked into her bosom. When she looked for it later, it was gone, at which time she realized that she was again pregnant. Her children, the moon and stars did not believe her story. Ashamed of their mother, they resolved to kill her. A goddess could only give birth once, to the original litter of divinity and no more. During the time that they were plotting her demise, Coatlicue gave birth to the fiery god of war, Huitzilopochtli. With the help of a fire serpent, he destroyed his brothers and sister, murdering them in a rage. He beheaded Coyolxauhqui and threw her body into a deep gorge in a mountain, where it lies dismembered forever. The natural cosmos of the Indians was born of catastrophe. The heavens literally crumbled to pieces. The earth mother fell and was fertilized, while her children were torn apart by fratricide and them scattered and disjointed throughout the universe. Ometecuhlti and his wife Omecihuatl created all life in the world. Their sons: Xipe Totec - The Lord of the Springtime Huitzilopochtli - the Sun god Quetzalcoatl - the Plumed Serpent Tezcatlipoca - the god of Night and Sorcery. Coatlicue - She of the Serpent Skirt.

Neat article! I wonder if the canine/fox feces could be present with the human feces because even back then they had been domesticated and were living with the humans as companions? As for Cherokee and tribes being of Asian origins, a long time ago, I wrote a paper for a college course about blood type and race. If I recall correctly, one of the things I discovered during my research was that type O blood was the predominant blood type among South Americans and Indians-with the exception of the Blackfoot who were predominately type A. Types AB, A, and B were predominate in Europe. There are some maps online that show blood type distribution. http://anthro.palomar.edu/vary/vary_3.htm I'm not sure what this means concerning the origin of Indians, Just another thought for whatever it's worth.
