They say that everything new is well forgotten old and this can be attributed to many modern things. In this article I want to talk about the amazing Mayan deity, which is very reminiscent of the famous hero from American comics and films. Who doesn't know Batman? Everyone knows Batman, but where did this image come from and what is it like?
Kamazoch is a deity with a bat's head and a human body, and similar images of gods with animal heads can be found in different nations of the world. There is even a hypothesis that these creatures actually existed in antiquity and were genetic experiments of alien civilizations.
So who is this legendary Mayan god and what functions did he perform according to legend? There is little information about him and I managed to find that he was a kind of ruler of death, secret knowledge and life. The search for information about Kamazoche is complicated by the fact that it is not very popular and most of the information is in foreign languages. But his resemblance to the legendary comic book hero is undeniable.
There is evidence that some of the Mayan temples were erected in honor of this deity. In them, people worshiped him and made sacrifices. The Maya believed that by worshiping Kamazoch, he was able to heal the most serious diseases.
