Description
One of my first year archaeology courses was 'Origins to Civilisation'. The main thing I remember about the South American component was Thlaloc- a rain serpent. I can't remember now if he was universal or just Aztec or Mayan.This is based on Thlaloc. It kind of meandered off a bit and my interest flagged a bit. I think Dragon Age 2 took up most of my attention during the holidays....

The woman's expression is very...apt. I like it.

They have more than their fair share of eyes too if you notice.

Tlaloc is the Aztec god of rain, and while serpents are a symbol of rain in their role of bridge between Heaven and Earth, Tlaloc himself is a humanoid god with odd spectacle-like elements on his face. One of his monickers is "the Sorcerer of Calm Joy".

I remember that pretty much every serpent was called Thlaloc in the lecture. Only a few were identified with Quetzalcoatl.
