How did the Aztec think the world was made?

The Aztecs believed the world was created through a series of cosmic events involving gods and their sacrifices. According to their mythology, the fifth sun was created after the gods Tezcatlipoca and Quetzalcoatl battled and sacrificed themselves. This act of sacrifice was seen as essential for the continuation of life, and they believed that the world was constantly in a cycle of creation and destruction, with the gods playing a central role in maintaining balance.
