I was also wondering whether Ty Kora Tek would make sense as Humakt's mum, with the dead of the Earth Tribe falling into her domain. I also considered the "normal" Earth Goddess progression from maiden to mother to crone, and decided that it was certainly a possibility that TKT had once been a mother, even though she has been incapable of bearing a child at least since the dawn of time. So I think that Humakt's mother may not have *been* Ty Kora Tek, but *became* Ty Kora Tek as Humakt's power of severing/ending took her power of fertility away. The actual myth I leave for someone with more talent...
