Tlaltecuhtli
is a Pre Columbian Mesoamerican deity worshipped primarily by the Aztec people.
Sometimes referred to as the "earth monster," Tlaltecuhtli's dismembered body was the basis for the world in the Aztec creation story of the fifth and final cosmos. In carvings, Tlaltecuhtli is often depicted as an anthropomorphic being with splayed arms and legs.
Considered the source of all living things, she had to be kept sated by human sacrifices which would ensure the continued order of the world.
In 2006, a massive Monolith of Tlaltecuhtli was discovered in an excavation at the Templo Mayor in Tenochtitlan (modern-day Mexico City)
.
The sculpture measures 4 x 3.6 meters and weighs 12 tons, making it  the largest Aztec monoliths ever discovered.
The sculpture, carved in a block of pink andesite, presents the goddess in her typical squatting position and is vividly painted in red, white, black, and blue. The stone was broken into four pieces by the weight of a colonial building that once sat above it.
Reassembled, one can see Tlaltecuhtli's skull and bones dress and the river of blood flowing from her mouth.
