What were the 5 suns?

In Aztec mythology, the Five Suns represent five distinct eras of creation, each associated with a different sun that governed the world during its time. The first sun was Tezcatlipoca, followed by the sun of Quetzalcoatl, then Tlaloc, the rain god. The fourth sun was associated with Xipe Totec, and the current era (the fifth sun) is linked to Huitzilopochtli, the God of War and the sun. Each sun is said to have met its end through various cataclysmic events, such as floods or destruction by beasts, symbolizing cycles of life, death, and rebirth.
