I am specifically interested in the art of the designs and symbols used in the illustration of the gods, as well as the meaning behind these symbols.
I redraw and come up with my own 'Aztec gods', to better understand the thoughts that went into their original creation. It is enjoyable to learn
about the Aztec mythologies and history. Have fun on Wikipedia, I know I am.
