English: Tenochtitlán Museum - The Coyolxauhqui Stone (3.25 meter stone)," a giant monolith found at the Great Temple of Tenochtitlan in 1978. Coyolxauhqui was the Moon goddess according the Aztec mythology. Her name means "Golden Bells." She was the daughter of the Earth goddess, Coatlicue and the sister of the Sun god, Huitzilopochtli. Mexico City, Mexico

Coyolxauhqui encouraged her four hundred sisters and brothers to kill their dishonored mother. Coatlicue gave birth to Huitzilopochtli after a ball of feathers fell into the temple where she was sweeping and touched her. Huitzilopochtli sprang out of his mother as an adult fully armed and saved her.

Coatlicue regretted such violence. Thus, Huitzilopochtli cut off Coyolxauhqui's head and threw it into the sky to form the Moon so that his mother would be comforted in seeing her daughter in the sky every night.
