Editing Oracle (section)

===Pre-Columbian Americas===
In the migration myth of the Mexitin, i.e., the early [[Aztec]]s, a [[mummy]]-bundle (perhaps an [[effigy]]) carried by four priests directed the trek away from the cave of origins by giving oracles. An oracle led to the foundation of [[Mexico-Tenochtitlan]]. The [[Yucatec Maya]]s knew oracle priests or ''chilanes'', literally 'mouthpieces' of the deity. Their written repositories of [[traditional knowledge]], the Books of [[Chilam Balam]], were all ascribed to one famous oracle priest who had correctly predicted the coming of the Spaniards and its associated disasters.{{cn|date=September 2021}}
