Coxcox

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

In Aztec mythology, 'Coxcox' was the only male survivor of a worldwide flood. The Aztecs believed that two persons survived the flood. These were a man named Coxcox, and his wife. Ancient Aztec paintings often depict a boat floating on the waters of the flood. The boat floats beside a mountain, while the heads of a man and a woman are shown in the air above the boat. A dove is also depicted. In its mouth the dove carries a hieroglyphical symbol representing the languages of the world, which it is distributing to the children of Coxcox.^{[citation needed]}
