Here's "I Will Pick the Lovely Blooms," the twenty-third cuicatl in SONGS OF THE LORDS OF ANAHUAC, my English translation of the codex "Romances de los señores de la Nueva España." Includes notes on the homoerotic subtext of the song, mostly missed by straight white translators of the past, heh.

El misterio de este pueblo Nahuatl, los sigue hasta las tierras Mayas, pues la toma de Chichén parece haber sido sin violencia, pero en definitiva marcó un cambió drástico en la sociedad de la ciudad, y prueba de ello, son las construcciones de este periodo, indudablemente de un estilo Tolteca

Fuera como fuere, y sin que se tenga aun certeza del porqué, entre 1150 y 1260, la influencia Tolteca disminuye. La leyenda dice que los Itzáes originales, migran de vuelta a su hogar, solo para encontrar un nuevo rival en ascenso: Mayapán

Before he can even begin the path toward retaking his father’s throne, he is tempted to turn his back on duty and revenge. Posing as a displaced minor noble seeking refuge, he works as a farmer and falls in love with a commoner who urges him to build a life with her and forget about Acolhuacan.

Stay and Create Sekalli pulls away from my kiss one cloudy, balmy night. “I feel the conflict in you. The loss of your family, the honor of your nation, your need for revenge. “And it may be unfair but I’m asking you not to go in search of what to destroy. Stay and create. Here by my side. “That’s the Way of Order, Neza. At the beginning of time, the Feathered Serpent himself was the first to shape chaos. “Didn’t he take the body of Cipactli, broken by his brother Tezcatlipoca, and forge the earth from her flesh? Prop up the heavens with her tail? “Didn’t he teach the first humans the double calendar and seasons, so they would know when to plant and which prayers to offer up? “And every time this world was burned, flooded, scoured by fierce winds— didn’t he patiently pick up the pieces and rebuild it all again? Oh, darling boy. “How can it be you don’t understand? He made us for a simple purpose. To fall in love and forge a duality, husband and wife, starting a family. “Building a home, bearing strong children, laughing together, lights in the darkness. Ephemeral joys, indelibly human. Loam between toes, a loom in one’s hands. “Life is too short to waste on destruction. Once you avenge yourself, what will be left? I’ll give you my body, my heart, and my soul, all that you need to build a new life. “Let’s compose songs together, boy. Lullabies for our babies, hymns for the gods, an epic of love that none can forget, the tale of a noble who chose to farm and erected a palace of maize for his owl-eyed queen.”

“In life we learn 
We grow 
We discover 
We write 
We erase
And write again 
We weave
We unravel 
And we weave again 
The day I learnt that the only thing I take with me is what I live, then I began to live that which I wish to take”

The great god of fire of the Purépecha sits cross legged, their eyes aglow and their hair wild, flying around the place and spitting fire.

The Maya civilization left an imposing legacy across the Yucatán Peninsula and beyond.

Visiting small, less crowded settlements is a true delight, a chance to breathe in the grandeur of this magnificent culture at its peak.

【アステカ絵】20240229
アステカでは、戦死者と生贄として死んだ者は、天国へ行き、太陽のお供をする名誉を得る。生前、戦場で盾に矢を受けた者は、盾の穴から太陽の姿を見ることができる。

Ok so lets see some of the pages finally! The story starts out in a city called Teko, inspired by the West Mexican Shaft Tomb cultures, with futurist Guachimontones which have become large civic centers. Also as you can see the comic is b/w though I'd love color I would have to hire a colorist lol.
