Awakened Sun Stone

The myth

The Sun Stone, often called the “Aztec calendar,” is a basalt disk 3.58 meters across and about 25 tons, found on December 17, 1790 in Mexico City’s central plaza. It is not really a calendar: it is an image of the cosmos. At the center is a face, identified as Tonatiuh or as Tlaltecuhtli, within the sign Nahui Ollin, “4 Movement,” the present age; around it appear the dates of the four earlier ages, the twenty day signs and two fire serpents. After its discovery it was displayed on a tower of the Cathedral.

Why it has this power

A Level 5 Uncommon with 1900 ATK and 1800 DEF: the highest-attack Machine in the mythology, like the cosmos in motion. Light and Sun are the star at the disk’s center; Hammer, the carved stone. Strong on both attack and defense, it is one of the best Uncommon Machines in the deck.

Did you know

The Sun Stone was found on 17 December 1790, during works in Mexico City's main square, and was then set for decades into the west tower of the Cathedral.
