Two great temples
Today we want to show you some sketches from the megalithic temple of Malinalco, how it could have looked in its prime.
Malinalco was an ideological and spiritual center for the Mexica Empire; it was the place where the sister of Huitzilopochtli, Malinalochitl, had settled when abandoned by his brother during a long pilgrimage of the Aztec people to the Valley of Mexico. And in this specific place, they prepared and commanded the eagle and jaguar warriors, the elite militia from the Mexica army.
We also want to share with you the excellent work from our friend and collaborator Mauricio Pampin, who, on the basis of the postclassic aesthetic, built from zero a great temple dedicated to Mictlantecuhtli.
We know that the sanctuaries of Tenochtitlan played an important role, not only in the sacred area. In the “Calpulli” slums, sacred houses were built for the gods, where they held rituals to maintain the balance of the world.
Legends, myths, facts, history: Mictlan has it all! We're aiming at including in our game the most incredible stories, and we will continue updating you with news, concept arts, sneak&peeks of our creative process, so make sure to follow us on our social media channels to stay updated!
