In mythology kukhona futhi UNkulunkulu wemvula njengabanye onkulunkulu. UTlá-lock ungunkulunkulu wemvula wama-Aztec futhi ungomunye wonkulunkulu abadala futhi abavame kakhulu eMelika Ephakathi. I-Traloc kukholakala ukuthi ihlala eziqongweni zezintaba, ikakhulukazi lezo ezihlale zimbozwe ngamafu; isuka lapho ithumela imvula evuselelayo kubantu abangezansi.
Kulesi sihloko sizokutshela konke okudingeka ukwazi ngoNkulunkulu wemvula, izici zayo kanye nomlando wayo.
Unkulunkulu wemvula
Kukhona onkulunkulu bemvula emasikweni amaningi aseMesoamerican, futhi imvelaphi yeTraloc ibuyela emuva ku-Teotihuacan nama-Olmecs. Unkulunkulu wemvula wayebizwa ngokuthi uChaac ngamaMayans asendulo kanye noCocijo ngamaZapotec ase-Oaxaca.
Unkulunkulu wemvula ungomunye wonkulunkulu bama-Aztec ababaluleke kakhulu, obusa phezu kwamanzi, inzalo, nezolimo. I-Tlaloc iphethe ukuqapha ukukhula kwezitshalo, ikakhulukazi ukukhula kommbila, kanye nokujwayelekile kwezinkathi zonyaka. Ilawule ukulandelana kwezinsuku eziyi-13 ekhalendeni lesiko lezinsuku ezingama-260 kusukela osukwini lukaCe Quiauitl (imvula). Isancinza sikaTraloc ngu-Chalchiuhtlicue (Jade Her Skirt) ophethe amachibi namanzi ahlanzekile.
Izazi zemivubukulo nezazi-mlando zikholelwa ukuthi ukugcizelela lo nkulunkulu odumile kuyindlela yokuba ababusi bama-Aztec baqinisekise ukubusa kwabo endaweni. Ngokwalesi sizathu, wakha ithempeli leTlaloc phezu kweThempeli Elikhulu laseTenochtitlan, eduze kwethempeli elinikezelwe kungcwele ongumvikeli wama-Aztec uVizshiropochtli.
Izindawo zokuhlala e-Tenochtitlan
Isiphephelo se-Tlaloc kuMeya we-Templo simele ezolimo namanzi; ithempeli le-Huitzilopochtli limele impi, ukunqoba kwezempi kanye nezinkokhelo ... kunjaloLawa amathempeli amabili abaluleke kakhulu enhloko-dolobha yakho.
Izinsika zeThempeli leTraloc ziqoshwe ngezimpawu zamehlo kaTraloc futhi zidwetshwe ngochungechunge lwamabhande aluhlaza okwesibhakabhaka. Umpristi onakekela indlu engcwele uQuetzalcoatl, omunye wabapristi abakhulu benkolo yama-Aztec. Kuye kwatholakala iminikelo eminingi ehlobene nale ndlu engcwele, kuhlanganise nemihlatshelo yezilwane zasemanzini nezinto zobuciko ze-jade ezihlobene namanzi, ulwandle, inzalo, nomhlaba ongaphansi.
Unkulunkulu wemvula esibhakabhakeni sama-Aztec
I-Tlaloc yasizwa iqembu lezidalwa ezinamandla angaphezu kwawemvelo okuthiwa ama-Tlaloques, ezanikeza izwe amanzi emvula. Ezinganekwaneni zama-Aztec, i-Tlaloc iphinde ibe umbusi welanga lesithathu noma izwe elibuswa amanzi. Ngemva kukaZamcolo, ilanga lesithathu laphela futhi abantu bathathelwa indawo izilwane ezinjengezinja, izimvemvane namaturkey.
Enkolweni yama-Aztec, UTraloc wabusa izulu lesine noma ipharadesi, ebizwa ngokuthi i-Traloc, "izwe le-Traloc". Le ndawo ichazwa ezincwadini zama-Aztec njengepharadesi elinezimila eziluhlaza kanye nentwasahlobo engapheli, ebuswa onkulunkulu nabantu baseTlaloc. I-Tralocan futhi iyindawo eya kuyo ngemva kokufa yalabo abashona ngobudlova ngenxa yezizathu ezihlobene namanzi, kanye nezinsana nabesifazane abashona lapho bebeletha.
Umkhosi obaluleke kakhulu onikezelwe ku-Traloc ubizwa ngokuthi i-Tozoztontli futhi wenzeka ekupheleni kwenkathi eyomile, ngo-March no-April. Inhloso wukuqinisekisa ukuthi kunemvula eyanele ngesikhathi sokukhula.
Enye yemikhuba evamile eyenziwa kulo mkhuba iwukunikela ngezingane, futhi ukukhala kwazo kukholelwa ukuthi kunenzuzo ekutholeni amanzi emvula. Izinyembezi zomntwana osanda kuzalwa zinobuhlobo obuseduze nedolobha laseTralocan, elihlanzekile futhi eliyigugu.
Imihlatshelo etholwe kuMeya yeThempeli eTenochtitlán ihlanganisa izinsalela zezingane ezingaba ngu-45 ezashona zikhumbula uTraloc. Iminyaka yalezi zingane isukela eminyakeni emi-2 kuye kweyisi-7, kodwa abaningi babo babengabesilisa. Lena imali eyisiko engavamile, futhi umvubukuli waseMexico uLeonardo López Luján wathi phakathi nesomiso saphakathi nekhulu le-XNUMX, umhlatshelo wenziwe ngokukhethekile ukuze kushwelezwe uLa Locke.
Indawo engcwele yasentabeni
Ngaphezu komcimbi obuse-Templo Mayor Azteca, abantu baphinde bathola iminikelo ku-Tlaloc emigedeni ehlukahlukene naseziqongweni zezintaba. Indawo engcwele ye-Tlaloc itholakala phezu kwentaba-mlilo engasekho, i-Tlaloc Mountain, empumalanga ye-Mexico City. Abavubukuli abaphenya phezu kwentaba bathole izinsalela zezakhiwo zethempeli lama-Aztec, okubonakala sengathi lihambisana nethempeli leTlaloc kuMeya weTemplo.
Indawo engcwele yayibiyelwe ngothango, futhi inkosi ngayinye yama-Aztec nompristi wayo babevakashela futhi benze imihlatshelo minyaka yonke. Isithombe se-Tlaloc singenye yezithombe ezimele kakhulu futhi ezibonakalayo zezinganekwane zama-Aztec, efana nonkulunkulu wemvula kwamanye amasiko aseMesoamerican. Inamehlo amakhulu aqhumile, futhi uhlaka lwayo lwakhiwe izinyoka ezimbili ezihlangana phakathi nendawo yobuso ukuze zakhe ikhala.
Usenamazinyo amakhulu alenga emlonyeni futhi udebe lwakhe lwangenhla luphumele ngaphandle. Uvame ukuzungezwe amathonsi emvula kanye nomsizi wakhe uTlaloques. Uvame ukuphatha intonga ende esandleni sakhe, isihloko sentonga emelela umbani nokuduma. Izithombe zakhe zivame ukuvela ezincwadini zama-Aztec (ezibizwa ngokuthi imibhalo yesandla), kanye nasezithombeni eziqoshiwe, eziqoshiwe, nasezitsheni zokushisa impepho ze-Koba.
Bungaza i-Atlcahualo kusukela ngoFebhuwari 12 kuya kuMashi 3. Njengoba inikezelwe ku-tlaloque, leli phuzu lihilela ukunikelwa kwezingane esiqongweni sentaba engcwele. Izingane zihlotshiswe kahle futhi zigqokiswe isitayela seTlaloc neTlaloque. Ohlakani olugcwele izimbali nezimpaphe, bezungezwe abadansi, bayiswa endaweni engcwele izinhliziyo zabo ziphukile umpristi. Uma lezi zingane zikhala endleleni eya ethempelini, izinyembezi zazo zibonakala njengophawu lwemvula ezayo. Emkhosini ngamunye we-Atlcahualo, kunikelwa izingane eziyisikhombisa eLake Tescoco enhloko-dolobha yama-Aztec. Bayizigqila noma amadodana esibili ezicukuthwane. Umkhosi weTozoztonli uhilela nokunikela ngezingane. Phakathi nalomkhosi imihlatshelo yenziwa emigedeni.
Ngethemba ukuthi ngalolu lwazi ningafunda okwengeziwe ngoNkulunkulu wemvula nomlando wakhe.
