What if the legends were true...?

You are walking in the middle of a forest, making your way through the thick foliage.
You hear a distant noise echoing through the trees.
You hear it again. It's getting closer, it's getting louder.
A dark shadow suddenly moves across the sky, hovering over you.
You look up, paralyzed by shock and fear: standing on the ground, as tall as the trees stretching up to the sky, you see an enormous human figure looking down at you.

The legends are true: you're looking at a Quinametli.

The Quinametzin are often mentioned in Aztec and Mesoamerican mythology and in Spanish chronicles.
These mysterious figures stood over 10 feet tall and weighed around 600 pounds. They lived in a time known as the Era of the Fourth Sun and it is believed that it was them who built the pyramids of Teotihuacán and the Great Pyramid of Cholula.

In these pictures, you can see the concept behind one of our cinematic sequences that you will find in Mictlan.
