from Gjentagelsen, released April 6, 2016
Ancient Aztec myths as recorded in illustrated manuscripts by Nahua tlamatinime and saved from destruction by Father Bernardino de Sahagún.

After reading the "Leyenda de los Soles", the Nahua/Aztec creation myth - available here in Español: mexica.ohui.net/textos/1/ - I HAD to share with you all these choice tidbits:
"20. Those who lived under this third Sun, 4-Rain, also perished. It rained fire upon them. They became turkeys.
...
26. They who perished were those who had become turkeys.
27. The offspring of turkeys are now called pípil-pípil."
