Writing & Culture
The Aztecs used ‘codices’ to record their artistic pictorial manuscripts, which children were taught at an early age in school. All children were allowed to go to school in the Aztec Empire, regardless of their status. The codices were preserved in libraries and documented historical events, calendar dates, information about tributes and ancestries as well as the Earth’s creation myth. This information was chronicled in the form of recurring colorful pictographs made by the People of the Sun.

Feathered Serpent
As a creator deity, Quetzalcōātl (QUE) – the feathered serpent – was involved in the creation of humankind. He was known as the Aztec god of the sun and wind, air and learning. His name means ‘serpent with precious feathers’. The ‘feathered serpent’ has been worshipped since the first century BC and was later said to have been the inventor of books and the calendar. In mythology, Quetzalcōātl (QUE) goes to the underworld to create new human beings from the bones of the dead. However, the bones had been broken into different lengths. This was thought to be the reason we humans are different heights.
