| Detail of page 50 of the Codex Dresdensis (Dresden Codex). The maize god or God E, is often affiliated with death and sacrifice in Post-Classic Yucatan. This may be partly due to the agricultural cycle of maize, the planting in the earth equivalent to death and burial, and the harvest, the severing of the maize cob head. | ||
