Tonatiu

Omecihuatl and Ometecuhtli original deities of the Toltecs universal duality, created Quetzalcoatl, Tezcatlipoca, Huitzilopochtli, and Xipe Totec. In its turn, they created the earth and its nature, then created four consecutive ill-fated humanities. Quetzalcoatl then went down to the infra-world to steal bone splinters to create the fifth humanity; throughout many years, opposing forces tried to stop him; at the end, old and poor, Quetzalcoatl, as an offering, throws himself into the fire to give life to the fifth sun and to the actual humanity.

Representing a Toltec legend of The Fifth Sun

Omecihuatl y Ometecuhtli, dioses originales de la dualidad universal crearon a Quetzalcóatl, Tezcatlipoca, Huitzilopochtli y a Xipe Totec. Estos a su vez crearon al mundo con su naturaleza, después crearon cuatro humanidades consecutivas, mismas que se malograron: Quetzalcóatl baja al inframundo y roba una astilla de huesos para crear la quinta humanidad; por años fuerzas opuestas tratan de impedírselo; al final, viejo y pobre, Quetzalcóatl se ofrenda al fuego para dar vida al quinto sol y a la humanidad actual.
