In Aztec mythology, Huitzilopochtli is the deity of the sun, and war. Also known as the Turquoise Prince (Xiuhpilli), Huitzilopochtli was represented in Aztec art as either a hummingbird or an Eagle.
The Aztecs worshipped Huitzilopochtli by sacrificing human hearts and blood to ensure that the sun would rise each day. As a god of war, he was also the deity who helped the Aztecs to expand their influence and empire throughout most of modern day Mexico and Central America.
