Quinametzin

In Aztec mythology, the Quinametzin populated the world during the previous era of the Sun of Rain (Nahui-Quiahuitl). A Quinametzin stands more than 10 to 12 feet tall and weighs about 660 to 1100 pounds. They were punished by the gods because they did not venerate them, and their peak-civilization came to an end as a result of great calamities and as a punishment from the heavens for grave sins they had committed. The construction of the pyramid of Cholula and the City of Teotihuacan (The Place Where Men Become Gods) was attributed to the Quinametzin Giants.[1]

gollark: Waaaait, maybe this was Electron's plan all along.
gollark: Idea: x86 obfuscator which just transpiles your code to JavaScript, minifies and incomprehensiblifies it, and ships an entire JS runtime.
gollark: And yet it can apparently be "spoiled" easily?
