Before the Conquest of the Americas by the Mongols and Tartars in the 13th Century, the Melanations of Anahuac and Mesoamerica made themselves gods, worshiped fashioned images, and made altars of dressed stones and steps to go up to their altars. Tlaloc was the god of rain, lightning and thunder. Opochtli was the god of hunting and fishing. Exodus 20 – Idols and Altars 22 Then the Lord said to Moses, “Tell the Israelites this: ‘You have seen for yourselves that I have spoken to you from heaven: 23 DO NOT MAKE ANY GODS TO BE ALONGSIDE ME; do not make for yourselves gods of silver or gods of gold. 24 “‘Make an altar of earth for me and sacrifice on it your burnt offerings and fellowship offerings, your sheep and goats and your cattle. Wherever I cause my name to be honored, I will come to you and bless you. 25 If you make an altar of stones for me, do not build it with dressed stones, for you will defile it if you use a tool on it. 26 And do not go up to my altar on steps, or your private parts may be exposed.’
