Ancient Aztec Bedding Design
Civilizations lost in the dust of time, often leave a unique footprint of patterns and shapes, so appealing they can be found as popular decor, in modern, 21st-century homes
One such culture was the Aztecs who left a mark in history with their grandiose temples and striking Aztec patterns we find on pillow covers and artwork, hung on the living room wall. The legacy of pyramidal architecture is revered and geometric designs have been popular since their reign in the 14th to 16th centuries. This was the age of the Aztecs, a society of warriors, who ruled central Mexico. Like many of the ancients, the Aztecs were a god-worshiping people whose deities governed every aspect of their lives. Their creation story was born of a god both male and female possessing a duality of dark and light. From this evolved four-god sons. who created the universe, other deities, and humans. In-house fighting and a mythical sea monster saw an eventual line-up of gods and goddesses with specific titles and roles overseeing their world, war, and sacrifice. The stories of how Aztecs evolved are variable and open to interpretation, unlike spirituality which relies on one supernatural being, consciousness, or god. The reason for this could be differing versions handed down and their historic records were a series of pictographs (symbols), written only by priests onto animal skins or fibers made from plants.
‘Aztec astronauts’
Since man has walked the earth a concept of religion has been in place with cavemen believing everything you could see and touch had a soul. This enlightening ideal is a quest for archaeologists and researchers who marvel at primal humans, knowing animism. A long-held belief by those who follow Hinduism and Buddhism. The seeds were planted for faith to emerge, as each culture adopted a version they felt comfortable with. If we dare to question why the Aztecs believed in various gods, it could lead to a labyrinth of beliefs that ancient, alien visitors were a source of religious and technological influence. Have you ever wondered how the Mayans (predecessors to the Aztecs) and Egyptians had such awareness of astronomy? Early Mayan text implies that “men came from the stars” and perhaps were alien astronauts from other galaxies. Their forward-thinking could have helped the ancients advance. And over time as people migrated to other lands, the stories told of gods that came from above may have been adapted from culture to culture.

‘Aztec Sun Stone’
The Aztecs honored an array of gods especially the sun god whose survival was appeased with sacrifice. The Aztecs called themselves “the people of the sun” as they considered the universe had been re-invented four times, before their time on Earth and heralded the fifth sun and the god Tonatiuh. Legend has it the sun was under siege from darkness, so the Aztecs offered a multitude of souls to aid in the fight. The fear of offending the gods was deeply entrenched in their psyche and highlighted in the imagery on their Aztec calendar carved in 1479. Measuring 12 feet in diameter and weighing around 24 tons, the Aztec calendar stone features images of animals, the sun god, and two calendars, both very different but cleverly designed to work in conjunction. Putting it simply the creative partnership of these ancient almanacs meant no date was repeated for 52 years, when the universe would self-destruct. So you could say they invented a system of avoidance and when the fateful day did come around there was the “New Fire Ceremony” and sacrifice to prevent the world from ending.
