The Indigenous people known as the Huichol first appeared in the high highlands of Central Mexico some 15,000 years ago.

According to their ancient traditions, both men and women would experience the pain of childbirth.

This is how it would be done, the father would position himself on the rafters with rope tied around his scrotum while the mother would pull on it while giving birth.

Philipp J.J. Valentini. The Mexican Calendar Stone. 1878. 

The four panels surrounding the deity represent previous ages or “Suns.” Sun of Jaguar (upper right), Sun of Wind (upper left), Sun of Fire-rain (lower left), and Sun of Water (lower right). The date of the current age is found in the square at the center top of the stone. The animals carved into the next ring of the stone represent the 20 days of the Aztec calendar.
