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.
