Deities first created the world and made humans from clay, then wood. These humans were emotionless and destroyed by the deities in a flood, who turn them into monkeys. Later, the first four people are made and named after the Jaguar animal.
Belief system
Mayan religion refers to the spiritual beliefs and customs of some indigenous people from Mesoamerica, mainly Mexico and Guatemala.
Deity
Kukulkan was one of the main deities in Mayan religion and traditionally depicted as a feathered serpent. A pyramid at Chichen Itza, Mexico, is devoted to Kukulkan.
Translation
"Popol Vuh" is a 1947 partial Spanish translation of the Popol Vuh creation myth by Adrián Recinos. Recinos was the first scholar to seemingly publish a contemporary translation of the Mayan mythological contents within the Father Francisco Ximénez manuscript at The Newberry Library in Chicago, IL.
