NIGHTSCAPES - AN HPL SAMPLER - NONFICTION BY RICHARD L. TIERNEY CTHULHU IN MESOAMERICA by Richard L. Tierney One of my favorite Cthulhu Mythos stories is 'The Mound,' a short novel conceived by Zealia Bishop and published with her name appearing as that of the sole author. Yet we all know that this tale is primarily the work of H.P. It certainly reads like one of his stories and he obviously took a very great interest in it -- so great an interest, in fact, that it now stands not only as an incorporation into the Mythos, but as a major extension of it.

Call of Cthulhu investigators find themselves not only baffled by the mysteries of.

According to Derleth's introduction to The Horror in the Museum, Frank Belknap Long also had a hand in it. The interesting thing about this story is that it really does tie in very well with the religions of the ancient Indians who inhabited Mexico and Central America -- the Aztecs, Toltecs, Teotihuacanos, Zapotecs and Mayans -- just as Bishop and Lovecraft imply. Perhaps one or both of these authors had a very detailed knowledge of Mesoamerican religions, or perhaps the correlation is due mostly to chance; I do not know. Still, it is interesting to observe some of the correlations.

Laney, in his long-out-of-print article, 'The Cthulhu Mythos: A Glossary,' equates Cthulhu with the Aztec god Huitzilopochtli. I have never been able to discover where he might have read anything that would lead him to make this correlation. Huitzilopochtli was the patron god of the Aztecs who led them to the 'promised land,' the island in the center of Lake Tenochtitlan where they founded a capital, much as Yahweh led the Hebrews to Canaan. He has nothing to do with water or 'Deep Ones' -- he seems primarily a war god -- again like Yahweh -- and he was born of a virgin-mother goddess. Perhaps the final letters of his name, 'chtli,' have something to do with Laney's correlation. At any rate, he would seem to be more likely one of the spawn of Yog-Sothoth, who is know to beget his progeny on mankind. But in 'The Mound' we read that the humans who occupy blue-litten K'n-yan, which land lies somewhere far within the earth beneath the southwestern United States, carried on trade or contact of some sort with the surface Indians of centuries ago.

The people of K'n-yan worshipped Yig and Cthulhu, and their images often occupied the same temple. Furthermore, it is definitely stated that Yig is the prototype of the great Mesoamerican god Quetzalcoatl, the 'feathered serpent.' Now, the interesting thing is that there is a very important archaeological site in central Mexico where Quetzalcoatl was evidently worshipped alongside another god who bears some striking resemblances to Great Cthulhu. This site is Teotihuacan, a huge ancient city which was abandoned long before the Aztecs or even the Toltecs came to dominate central Mexico, and the god is the one that the Aztecs later came to call Tlaloc, the Rain God. Teotihuacan, in the Aztec language, means 'place of the gods.' The pyramids there are so huge that the Aztecs evidently thought they had been reared by the gods in ancient times. The largest one is as big around at the base as the great pyramid of Khufu in Egypt.

But the most interesting thing pertaining to this study is that one of the lesser pyramids, a famous one often called the 'Pyramid of Quetzalcoatl,' contains carvings along its sides of two deities, one of which is obviously a serpent and the other some strange being with perfectly round eyes and suggestions of tentacles around his mouth. These deities are supposed to represent the prototypes of the later Aztec divinities, Quetzalcoatl and Tlaloc.

But one of the most amazing things about this pyramid-temple is that along its base, beneath the carvings of the two gods, are bas-reliefs depicting marine motifs -- and this despite the fact that Teotihuacan is several hundred miles from the sea.

After the Teotihuacanos (whose city seems to have been mysteriously abandoned along with a great many others around 800 A.D.) the Toltecs dominated the central Mexican plateau. Their principal god was Quetzalcoatl, but they, too, worshipped Tlaloc. They depict him on their vases and urns as a more humanlike being than did the Teotihuacanos, but his eyes are still huge, round and expressionless and there are suggestions of tentacle-like appendages around his mouth. The Toltecs' capital city, strangely enough, is called 'Tula'!
