Like the parrot I discussed previously, this turtle is located at the Puuc Maya site of Uxmal in the Yucatan. It’s one of the many turtles decorating the building known, not surprisingly, as the House of the Turtles, which is located at the northeast corner of the enormous platform housing the large structure known as the Governor’s Palace. The turtles decorate the cornice at the top of the building at more or less regular intervals. The turtles are realistically rendered, though their shells are decorated with decortive reliefs.

I was really surprised, however, when I came across the work of independent researcher Carl de Borhegyi, who has pointed out in his online publication titled Soma in the Americas[2] that the Churning of the Milky Ocean episode has been depicted in a number of Mesoamerican codices, murals and relief panels. For instance, a ball court relief panel from the archaeological site of El Tajin, in Veracruz Mexico, depicts a turtle supporting the central axis, whose circular top can be seen. The churning mechanism used is an intertwined serpent, pulled at both ends by a pair of sky deities. All the key symbolic elements of the churning episode are present in this relief panel. It indicates that only did the cultures of Mesoamerica use very similar turtle symbolisms as those found in Asia, but they even drew from the same mythological tales.

Toward dawn on the night of Aug 13, the constellation Orion moves toward the zenith. The Quiche people still refer to a triad of three bright stars in Orion as "the hearth stones", and the hazy nebula below Orion's belt is called "the smoke from the hearth". Orion is also called the turtle stars (ak' ek), depicted in the Madrid Codex as a turtle with three tun ("stone") glyphs on its back. Because the sky has not yet been raised, the hearth is a location in both earth and sky. The turtle shell is an earth symbol, like the back of the crocodile at the foot of the World Tree. Here is the place of Creation, where the sky will rise again.

A British team of archaeologists on expedition in the Peruvian Andes has hailed as “sensational” the discovery of some of the most sacred objects in the Inca civilisation – three “ancestor stones”, which were once believed to form a precious link between the heavens and the underworld.

In ancient Mesopotamia, the turtle was associated with the god Enki and was used on kudurrus as one of Enki's symbols.[23] In the myth of Ninurta and the Turtle, Enki thwarts an attempt by the god Ninurta to seize absolute power by creating a giant turtle and releasing it behind Ninurta, so it bites the hero's ankle.[24][25][23] As they struggle, the turtle digs a pit with its claws, which both of them fall into.[24][25][23] Enki gloats over Ninurta's defeat.[24][25][23] The heron and the turtle is an ancient Sumerian story that has survived to this day.

The flat plastron and domed carapace of a turtle parallel the ancient Chinese idea of a flat earth and domed sky.[29] For the Chinese as well as the Indians, the tortoise symbolizes the universe. Quoting Pen T'sao, "the upper dome-shaped part of its back has various signs, which correspond with the constellations on the sky, and this is Yan; the lower part has many lines, which relate to the earth and is the Yin.[7]
... ... ...
In China, the tortoise was also called the Black warrior, standing as a symbol of power, tenacity, and longevity, as well as that of north and winter.

At this point we could still dismiss all the ancient turtle’s stories as pure mythology.
However, the story gets even more interesting when we learn about ancient peoples’ contact with the three-legged turtle. According to ancient myths and legends, Chinese people came in direct contact with a very strange being that gave them knowledge for the future.
We learn that “from the river I, the three-legged turtle Nai delivered the eternal laws on iron Lo-tablets to the Chinese.”
... ... ...
Native Americans of Delaware also speak of a three-legged turtle in their Great Flood story. The East Pomo, a Hoka Native American tribe, speaks of a race that was evil and terrible. They were capable of flying through the sky in turtles made of impenetrable iron with which they could drill themselves into the earth.
According to the ancient Maya, the beginning of time was initiated with “Three Stones of Creation” by the deity Wak Chan-Ahaw, which literally means “Risen Master of the Sky.” Wak Chan-Ahaw was the god of corn, oftentimes also referred to as Hun Huhnapu, father of the heroic twins. He was killed in the underworld. Yet, with the help of his sons, he was resurrected. This resurrection is always represented by him emerging out of a turtle shell.
It is interesting to note that in Central America, Guatemala there are a number of ancient myths and legends describing how natives witnessed giant flying turtles the skies.

But things get a lot more interesting when we talk about the maya maize god. Legend states he resurrected from a turtle. In many scenes, an aquatic environment strongly comes to the fore , most famously in the maize deity’s resurrection from the carapace of a turtle that is floating on the waters.
Such an environment also characterizes an important maize myth shared by many ethnic groups (such as Huaxtecs, Totonacs, Nahuas and Zoques) inhabiting Mexico’s Gulf Coast.
His auto-proclamed ressurection, Chaac kwoned as Tlaloc among the Aztecs, was the god of rain. The Chorti Maya have preserved important folklore regarding the process of rain-making, which involved rain deities striking rain-carrying snakes with their axes.In Central America, Guatemala according to archaeologists the earliest human settlements in this region date back over 14,000 years. In this region we can find numerous ancient artifacts, and among them is this one: The figure of a man lying inside what appears to be the shell of a turtle and according to legend, these are the giant flying turtles which flew around in Guatemala.
