Tlaltecuhtli

So the biggest monolith with original color ever found from the Aztec culture represents Tlaltecuhtli, dicovered in 2007. 


Tlaltecuhtli was a dual god from the aztec mythology. It is described as a sea monster who dwelled in the ocean after the fourth Great Flood, an embodiment of the raging chaos before creation. Quetzalcoatl and Tezcatlipoca tore her in half, throwing half upwards to create the sky and stars and leaving the other half to become the land of the earth. She remained alive, however, and demanded human blood.
