In the Nahua myth where “age is self-destructing based on a cosmic mathematical plan; the Mexica magicians will return to the place of their origin in Aztlan, only to find out about their own future demise” (114, Read & Gonzalez).

    The Mayan and American Religious practices are very different and similar in many ways. The Mayans have different styles of beauty than we do. They Mayans parents start making their child beautiful at a very young age, when they are infants the parents squish the head between two pieces of board.
