Yes.  Fear was an important part of their culture.  Human sacrifice doesn't happen in a love based culture.

You may find the information listed below regarding a recent discovery of a female figure  interesting.  It suggests that women may have had a high rank within Mayan society.\n\nI hope this helps!\n\n-Tom

I think it is likely there was, as most myths have some basis in reality.  However, who he actually was is lost to the mists of time.  Check out the link for interesting details, especially about the evolution of the legend.

It's the Mayan Long Count calendar, not the Aztec calendar.\nAnd it doesn't end.  It just rolls over form 12 Baktuns to 13 Baktuns, not unlike ours rolling from 1999 to 2000 except that a Baktun is about 400 years long. That day in their count is 13.00.00.00.00 and the next day is 13.00.00.00.01. No ending.\nOn that day, (12-21-2012 on our calendar) there IS an grand astronomical alignment which only happens every 26,000 years and that the Maya saw as the BEGINNING of a new world age. Not the END of this one...which btw has been over for 15-20 years.\nRead "Maya Cosmogenesis 2012" by John Major Jenkins for a lot more on this subject. Read my 2012 article on my Jaguar Nights blog or my regular website for other information on that day.

actually I found out a lot\n\ncome to find out I was both a Sioux and a Cherokee.  I was also a Mayan. (Thought that was interesting, but explained my desire to go to Central America)\n\nAlso, I lived in France. My best friends mother one time called me some name and I responded without even knowing she didnt say my real name.  She looked into it (she was a psychic) and told me that she was my mother and thats why we met this time around.\n\nUm..oh yea, I was a pirate I was told.  Guess that explains my love for boats and the ocean.\n\nPretty cool...if you believe in this stuff.  I do and I was very interested and excited.\n\nNow, if you really want to see what you believe in, I was also told that I once lived at Atlantis and I was a leader, however because I wasnt very patient and got angry quickly, I wasnt a leader for long.  Eh well.

There are several myths (I believe they are Navajo or one of the Pueblos) about the "Hero Twins."  You could use them as a comparison to other works such as "David and Goliath" or "Jack and the Beanstalk."

If the links between myths and religion are of interest to you the  PBS interview series "The Power of Myth" (with Bill Moyers) based on the writings of Joseph Campbell is a must.  There is a book by the same title, and my public library in a town, pop. 5000, has both the series on VCR and his books.  \n\nCampbell has many other writings from a lifetime of fascination with myth.  He taught for many years at Sarah Lawrence\n\nI taught religion for several years, and was ignorant of the common threads between what is now called mythology and today's religions until I explored his writings.  It was truly a life altering experience and one of the finest elements of my education.  \n\nYour  perception of  "Mythology" will evolve and 'write-off' won't be meaningful if you delve into this subject, so I can't answer the question you posed except to say that the peoples of the world have had religion forever.\n\nBe prepared to be addicted, and transformed.\n\nPS \nCharlie Rose  interviewed Bill Moyers and his wife last night.\nThey will present about 13 persons of all religious persuasions on a new program about religion tonight on PBS

The term, Aztec, is a startlingly imprecise term to describe the culture that dominated the Valley of Mexico in the fifteenth and sixteenth centuries. Properly speaking, all the Nahua-speaking peoples in the Valley of Mexico were Aztecs, while the culture that dominated the area was a tribe of the Mexica (pronounced "me-shee-ka") called the Tenochca ("te-noch-ka"). At the time of the European conquest, they called themselves either "Tenochca" or "Toltec," which was the name assumed by the bearers of the Classic Mesoamerican culture. The earliest we know about the Mexica is that they migrated from the north into the Valley of Mexico as early as the twelfth century AD, well after the close of the Classic Period in Mesoamerica. They were a subject and abject people, forced to live on the worst lands in the valley. They adopted the cultural patterns (called Mixteca-Pueblo) that originated in the culture of Teotihuacán, so the urban culture they built in the fifteenth and sixteenth centuries is essentially a continuation of Teotihuacán culture. \n\n   As stated in the section on the Toltecs, the peoples of Mesoamerica distinguished between two types of people: the Toltec (which means "craftsman"), who continued Classic urban culture, and the Chichimec, or wild people, who settled Mesoamerica from the north. The Mexica were, then, originally Chichimec when they migrated into Mexico, but eventually became Toltecs proper. \n\n   The history of the Tenochca is among the best preserved of the Mesoamericans. They date the beginning of their history to 1168 and their origins to an island in the middle of a lake north of the Valley of Mexico. Their god, Huitzilopochtli, commanded them on a journey to the south and they arrived in the Valley of Mexico in 1248. According to their history, the Tenochca were originally peaceful, but their Chichimec ways, especially their practice of human sacrifice, revolted other peoples who banded together and crushed their tribe. In 1300, the Tenochcas became vassals of the town of Culhuacan; some escaped to settle on an island in the middle of the lake. The town they founded was Tenochtitlan, or "place of the Tenochcas."  \n\n\nTenochtitlan Ruins, Mexico City    \n    Relations between the Tenochcas and Culhuacan became bitter after the Tenochcas sacrificed a daughter of the king of Culhuacan; so enraged were the Culhuacans that they drove all the Tenochcas from the mainland to the island. There, the Tenochcas who had lived in Culhuacan taught urban culture and architecture to the peoples on the island and the Tenochcas began to build a city. The city of Tenochtitlan is founded, then, sometime between 1300 and 1375. \n\n   The Tenochcas slowly became more powerful and militarily more skilled, so much so that they became allies of choice in the constant conflicts between the various peoples of the area. The Tenochcas finally won their freedom under Itzacoatl (1428-1440), and they began to build their city, Tenochtitlan, with great fervor. Under Itzacoatl, they built temples, roads, a causeway linking the city to the mainland, and they established their government and religious hierarchy. Itzacoatl and the chief who followed him Mocteuzma I (1440-1469) undertook wars of conquest throughout the Valley of Mexico and the southern regions of Vera Cruz, Guerrero, and Puebla. As a result, Tenochtitlan grew dramatically: not only did the city increase in size, precipitating the need for an aqueduct system to bring water from the mainland, it grew culturally as well as the Tenochcas assimilated the gods of the region into their religion.  \n\n\n    A succession of kings followed Mocteuzma I until the accession of Mocteuzma II in 1502; despite a half century of successful growth and conquest, Tenochca culture and society began to suffer disasters under Mocteuzma II. First, tribute peoples began to revolt all over the conquered territories and it is highly

I checked on Internet and they say it was the early Aztecs.
