- Burning of Incense
The conventional Egyptian representation of the burning of incense and the pouring of libations - Representation of the ancient Mexican Worship of the Sun
The image of the sun is held up by a man in front of his face; two men blow conch-shell trumpets; another pair burn incense, and a third pair make blood-offerings by piercing their ears. - A Chinese Dragon

Babylonian Weather God - Reproduction of a Picture in the Maya Codex Troano representing the Rain-god Chac treading upon the Serpent's head
Reproduction of a Picture in the Maya Codex Troano I reproduce here a remarkable drawing from the Codex Troano, in which this god, whom the Maya people called Chac, is shown pouring the rain out of a water-jar (just as the deities of Babylonia and India are often represented), and putting his foot upon the head of a serpent, who is preventing the rain from reaching the earth. Here we find depicted with childlike simplicity and directness the Vedic conception of Indra overcoming the demon Vritra. Stempell describes this scene as "the elephant-headed god B standing upon the head of a serpent"; while Seler, who claims that god B is a tortoise, explains it as the serpent forming a footstool for the rain-god. - Another representation of the Elephant-headed Rain god
Another representation of the Elephant-headed Rain god. He is holding thunderbolts, conventionalised in a hand-like form. The Serpent is converted into a sac, holding up the rain-waters. - Joseph let down into the pit
