Cacoch: Another of my occasional gods of the world, ancient and modern.
This one, from the Mayan stable, is a creator god, who apparently brought forth the water lily, which, in turn, was the life form from which all other Mayan deities sprang. It seems a little odd that, as the initiator of the other deities, he is also placed in the rather lowly role of the messenger of another creator god, Hachacyum. But I guess this inconsistency is simply in line with most religious myth and legend, in that there is little of logic of reason involved.
3rd December 1621 - Galileo invented the telescope; good man. A great help in dispelling many of the then current myths about the Earth and its place in the universe.
