| - Tonatiuh is the Aztec god of the sun.
- Also known as Ollin Tonatiuh (lit. "Movement of the sun"), he is a sun god of Aztec lore. They believed him to be the leader of the heaven Tollan. He was known as the fifth sun as the Aztecs believed that he was the sun that took over when the fourth sun was expelled from the sky. In the Aztec calendar, Tonatiuh is the lord of the thirteen days from 1 Death to 13 Flint. He was believed to require 20,000 sacrifices a day in order to move across the sky but it is believed that this was exaggerated by either the Aztecs or their enemies.
- Aztec cosmology held that each sun was a god with its own cosmic era, the Aztecs believed they were still in Tonatiuh's era. According to the Aztec creation myth, the god demanded human sacrifice as tribute and without it would refuse to move through the sky. It is said that 20,000 people were sacrificed each year to Tonatiuh and other gods, though this number is thought to be inflated either by the Aztecs, who wanted to inspire fear in their enemies, or the Spaniards, who wanted to vilify the Aztecs. The Aztecs were fascinated by the sun and carefully observed it, and had a solar calendar similar to that of the Maya. Many of today's remaining Aztec monuments have structures aligned with the sun.
