THE DEADLIEST in Aztec Mythology: The Ahuizotl, Water Cryptids, and Lake Monsters | Watery Grave Hierarchy

from Myths & Battles: Global History and Mythology

In this massive episode, we establish the definitive terror hierarchy of Aztec Mythology. We move past the popular imagery to rank the cosmos's true masters: the Water Cryptids (like the Ahuizotl, the Cipactli, and the Tlaltecuhtli), the brutal Rain Deities (led by Tlaloc), the Underworld Lords (Mictlantecuhtli, Mictecacihuatl, and the Tzitzimime), and the terrifying Beasts that were born to destroy them.Who commands the universe? Is it Huitzilopochtli with his Xiuhcoatl fire serpent, or the deep, unavoidable force of Tlalocan's watery grasp? We analyze the feats, the wars (the Creation of the Fifth Sun and the Fall of Tula), and the mystical weapons that decided who ruled and who was imprisoned for eternity.#AztecMythology #MythologyExplained #Ahuizotl
