The famous: Itzamnà

In Yucatec Maya mythology , Itzamna was the name of an upper god and creator deity thought to be residing in the sky.Little is known about him, but scattered references are present in early-colonial Spanish reports and dictionaries.Twentieth-century Lacandon lore includes tales about a creator god ( Nohochakyum or Hachakyum ) who may be a late successor to Itzamna.In the pre-Spanish period, Itzamna, represented by the aged god D, was frequently depicted in books and in ceramic scenes derived from such booksThe Aztec deity corresponding to Itzamna is Tonacatecuhtli .God D is sometimes dressed as a high priest , and hieroglyphically identified as the god of rulership.Speaking generally, Classic iconography confirms god D's identity as an upper god, seated on his celestial throne while governing, among other things, the affairs of agriculture and the hunt.

Itzamna



sacrfice


Sacrifice was a religious activity in Maya culture, involving either the killing of animals or the bloodletting by members of the community, in rituals superintended by priests. Sacrifice has been a feature of almost all pre-modern societies at some stage of their development and for broadly the same reason: to propitiate or fulfil a perceived obligation towards the gods.
Animal sacrifice and blood-letting were a common feature in many Maya festivals and rituals. Human sacrifice was far less common, being tied to events such as ill fortune, warfare and the consecration of new leaders or temples. The practice was also far less common than in the Aztec societies. When it did occur, the Maya people would sacrifice their prisoners, who were most often from neighboring kingdoms.
