It is said that when the [sun] was made, . . . there was fasting for four days. It is said that the moon would be the sun. And when four days were completed, it is said, the [sun] was made during the night . . . a very great fire was laid . . . into which was to leap, was to fall the moon—where he was to gain renown, glory: by which he would become the sun. And the moon thereupon went to leap into the fire. Then all the gods shouted, they said: “When [is this to be], O gods? Let the sun stop!” But little [Nanahuatzini] had already dared; he thereupon leaped into the fire. Thus he became the sun. —Fray Bernardino de Sahagún, in a translation of an Aztec text

Answer 2

A) priests

Step-by-step explanation:

This story was most likely recorded by an Aztec priest. This is because Aztec priests were the ones who knew the stories of the gods in detail. Aztec priests were meant to know the entire history of the world, and through these stories, they legitimized both the Aztec empire and the ruling family. This is because the royal family was considered to be descended from the gods.
