Teotihuacan, cité sans dieux?
At Teotihuacan a pantheon of deities was replaced by the polysemic figure of Tlaloc, at the same time a rain god, a storm god, a fertility deity, a god of terrestrial waters, of agriculture, maize and other cultigens.

| Σύνοψη: | At Teotihuacan a pantheon of deities was replaced by the polysemic figure of Tlaloc, at the same time a rain god, a storm god, a fertility deity, a god of terrestrial waters, of agriculture, maize and other cultigens. A monster only comparable to the Maya earth monster, and who hardly made room for an old fire god, about whom very little is known. The Feathered Serpent was not a god like the Aztec Quetzalcoatl but a cosmological entity that reconciled sky and earth. Some images show human figures rendering homage or cult to an abstract design, but never do we see deities receiving sacrifices. The Teotihuacans made up for their lack of interest toward deities with compositions that translated their cosmovision; figures such as the twist, the interlace, the reticule, the mat, were used to express the ambiguity, contradictions, and oppositions that make up our world.
