Finally, we arrive at the best part of the season: the end of AP testing and subsequent rushed blog posts. Congratulations on making it this far with me (the only one of you I can assume has made it this far is Endicott, so I congratulate you, sir). From here on out, you'll be receiving quick updates and will later this evening, get to finally read my African myth, huzzah!
After that, we've got a Norse myth and a Chinese myth lined up for you (once I, you know, write them).
FUN FACT: Did you know that the Maya and the Aztec people shared mythological beings? A prime example is the god Quetzalcoatl, who's name literally meant "feathered serpent". The name contains the prefix "quetzal" which is a type of bird in Latin America. The quetzal is so important to the Guatemalans that their currency is called a "quetzal" and contains pictures of the bird (as seen in the image below).
Looking forward to updating for you guys in an hour or so.
