#;c.amazotz #YEHAAA #his icons are finally done 😌😌😌 #i love adding lil hidden meanings on my i.con b.orders #there's 4squares by each side representing not only eyes (lil dot on middle as the pupil) #but also there's 4 bc the 4th month in the m.aya calendar is the month of the bat #inspired by vases found feat bats + eyeballs that likely were a way of representing multitude of bats #u know; to not draw endless bats; u draw eyeballs and it alludes to the idea that theres a lot #bats were very important in m.aya culture for many diff reasons; these being symbolic; religious; sociopolitical; cultural and more #of course these morphed according regions and time but one thing that stuck to me that i wanted to allude to is #the connection between bats; c.amazotz and s.acrifice through d.ecapitation #hence the b.loody sword #the connection between bats and d.ecapitation follows the observation of v.ampire bats; whose main food was blood yes; but there is as well- #the natural trait they have of snatching fruit from trees; #which translates to them being identified with d.ecapitation #this is portrayed in the p.opol v.uh when c.amazotz snatches the head off one of the twin heroes #OH OH AND;; how they are associated with the underworld; but not just that; also the world of the living #bc bats live in caves however u see them flying in the air as well; so thats why i added the sun and the moon (up; down) #red is associated with the sun and blood alongside strenght #and blue is associated wiith the sky alongside other symbolism #mmm what else #and well; thats a glyph of the bat month #u know; despitetheir importance; information about c.amazotz himself is quite scarce #at least in regards to what has been found physically speaking #since a lot was destroyed + a lot of traditions were spread o.rally + our limited knowledge about m.aya culture in general #but once u start to put the pieces together; u can find a lot of info! #its very interesting!!! apologies for the ramble but theres so much to talk about its very waooowww #anyways; wiggly mouth c.amazotz supremacy
