Moó the wife and sister of Chaacmol was the Queen of Chichen. She is represented on the Mausoleum of Chaacmol as a Macaw (Moó in the Maya language); also on the monuments at Uxmal: and the chroniclers tell us that she was worshiped in Izamal under the name of Kinich-Kakmó; reading from right to left the fiery macaw with eyes like the sun.
Their protecting spirit is a Serpent, the totem of their father Can. Another Egyptian divinity, Apap or Apop, is represented under the form of a gigantic serpent covered with wounds. Plutarch in his treatise, De Iside et Osiride, tells us that he was enemy to the sun.
Typho was the brother of Osiris and Isis; for jealousy, and to usurp the throne, he formed a conspiration and killed his brother. He is said to represent in the Egyptian mythology, the sea, by some; by others, the sun.
Aak (turtle) was also the brother of Chaacmol and Moó. For jealousy, and to usurp the throne, he killed his brother at treason with three thrusts of his spear in the back. Around the belt of his statue at Uxmal used to be seen hanging the heads of his brothers Cay and Chaacmol, together with that of Moó; whilst his feet rested on their flayed bodies. In the sculpture he is pictured surrounded by the Sun as his protecting spirit. The escutcheon of Uxmal shows that he called the place he governed the land of the Sun. In the bas-reliefs of the Queen’s chamber at Chichen his followers are seen to render homage to the Sun; others, the friends of Moó, to the Serpent. So, in Mayab as in Egypt, the Sun and Serpent were inimical. In Egypt again this enmity was a myth, in Mayab a reality.
Aroeris was the brother of Osiris, Isis and Typho. His business seems to have been that of a peace-maker.
Cay was also the brother of Chaacmol, Moó and Aac. He was the high pontiff, and sided with Chaacmol and Moó in their troubles, as we learn from the mural paintings, from his head and flayed body serving as trophy to Aac as I have just said.
In June last, among the ruins of Uxmal, I discovered a magnificent bust of this personage; and I believe I know the place where his remains are concealed.
Nephthis was the sister of Isis, Osiris, Typho, and Aroeris, and the wife of Typho; but being in love with Osiris she managed to be taken to his embraces, and she became pregnant. That intrigue having been discovered by Isis, she adopted the child that Nephthis, fearing the anger of her husband, had hidden, brought him up as her own under the name of Anubis. Nephthis was also called Niké by some.
Nic or Nicté was the sister of Chaacmol, Moó, Aac, and Cay, with whose name I find always her name associated in the sculptures on the monuments. Here the analogy between these personages would seem to differ, still further study of the inscriptions may yet prove the Egyptian version to contain some truth. Nic or Nicte means flower; a cast of her face, with a flower sculptured on one cheek, exists among my collections.
We are told that three children were born to Isis and Osiris: Horus, Macedo, and Harpocrates. Well, in the scene painted on the walls of Chaacmol’s funeral chamber, in which the body of this warrior is represented stretched on the ground, cut open under the ribs for the extraction of the heart and visceras, he is seen surrounded by his wife, his sister Nic, his mother Zoɔ, and four children.
