The book presents a large-scale picture of the mythology of the Aztecs and related ethnic groups of the Nahua of Central Mexico based on written sources from the mid-16th to the early 21st centuries: anonymous manuscripts containing fragments of ritual calendars tonalpohualli, annals, historical chronicles written by descendants of the local nobility and Catholic missionaries from the monastic orders of Franciscans and Dominicans, as well as materials of field ethnographic research among the descendants of the Aztecs in the mid-20th - early 21st centuries, including the results of the author's own work in the Sierra Norte de Puebla in December 2004. Aztec mythology is considered in a cross-cultural perspective. The main mythological motifs - the creation of the world from the body of the primordial being, the emergence of the ancestors from underground (from a cave), the origin of the Sun and the Moon - are compared with similar motifs in the mythology of the peoples of Europe, East and Southeast Asia, and the Central Andes.
