The Fourth Sun ended in a great flood.I painted this detail to show Tata and Nene, the only survivors, sealed inside a hollowed cypress log as the waters rose around them. The world was being destroyed, the earth disappearing beneath the flood, the waters filled with fish, for the people of this age were transformed into creatures of the water.Tezcatlipoca stood before them and gave them two grains of maize.
