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 partial English translation of the Popul Vuh creation and flood myth. It was released in 1954 by Delia Goetz and Sylvanus G. Morley, and, with the help of Spanish editor Adrián Recinos. It contains text of the first English translation of the myth (it was first published as a book in 1950, cf. bibliography). This text portion was seemingly released in the public domain due to no copyright being registered or renewed.
