In the Aztec creation fantasy, Mictlantecuhtli endeavored to postpone the god Ehecatl-Quetzalcóatl on his excursion into Mictlán.

Among the stunts and troublesome errands Mictlantecuhtli set was to demand that Quetzalcoatl could remove the bones with him assuming he circumvented the hidden world multiple times blowing a conch-shell trumpet. This undertaking was not exactly as straightforward as it appeared as the divine force of the hidden world just gave Quetzalcoatl a normal conch shell thus it would not sound. Quetzalcoatl got around the issue by having worms drill openings in the shell and setting honey bees inside it so their humming would seem like a trumpet. Not to be outperformed by this, Mictlantecuhtli let Quetzalcoatl imagine that he had improved of things and permitted him to take the bones.
Mictlantecuhtli, then, at that point, a long way from surrendering, sorted out for his associates, the Micteca, to burrow a huge pit so Quetzalcoatl would coincidentally find it when he attempted to leave Mictlán. Sufficiently sure, when passing the pit and, unfortunately surprised by a passing quail, Quetzalcoatl fell into the snare and the bones ended up being broken and dispersed. Be that as it may, Quetzalcoatl stirred himself and getting together the bones figured out how to remove himself from the pit and move away solid from the grip of Mictlantecuhtli. Once securely conveyed to the goddess Cihuacóatl, the bones were blended in with Quetzalcoatl's blood and from the combination leaped out the main people.
