The god of the night sky, Tezcatlipoca, the Smoking Mirror, was the first to become the Sun. Thus began the first era. Other gods created giant people who did not work or cultivate the land, but only ate fruits.
But the Sun did not move in the sky as it should, at noon it was already night, and the tigers devoured the people. Cold and darkness enveloped the earth.
The God of the West, Quetzalcoatl (Feathered Serpent), struck Tezcatlipoca with his staff, and he fell from the sky into the water. In the water he turned into a tiger, came out to land and devoured all the giant people. So the earth again became uninhabited, and the universe was left without the Sun, and this continued for 676 years. Thus ended the first era in the history of mankind - the era of the First Sun. This happened in the fourth year of Ocelot, or Tiger (4 Ocelotl)
