The chart is straightforward but remember that when you reach the end of the chart on the right side it just starts over again on the left side.

The most interesting part of the chart is, of course, the beginning.
Angra mainyu = Ymir = purusha = cipactli = pangu

Then there is all the stuff about Typhon and the Nagas and the headless monsters ending with the elixir of life/golden apples/forbidden fruit

Aztec mythology is strange. Its generally said that smoke and mirrors is the first sun god but according to the chart he would clearly have to be the last.
I suspect there is a story there.

Why do you post charts where the coding is broken so reading it is impossible?

What is it supposed to be showing? It looks like a bunch of mixed up text with NO order.

I have greatly expanded the greek mythology and I finally got around to working on the Aztec mythology.

Printing is much easier. You can now print individual columns.
I recommend using firefox for printing as it is easy to scale and preview and if one wants to one can turn of background colors.

Its also possible to print individual mythologies (like greek or Aztec)
