Small Chacmool Idol Metal_Handpan_Drums Handmade in a small familyChacmool statues have been found at many Maya and Aztec sites including the famous Chichn Itza. The bowl that they hold is believed to have been a receptacle for religious offerings. Both the Maya and Aztecs held fearful beliefs about their gods. They thought that the gods that had created them were also capable of destroying them and had destroyed several worlds before. In order to please the gods and avoid their wrath, sacrifices were often made.
