The Popol Vuh

There is no document of greater importance to the study of the pre-Columbian mythology than the "Popol Vuh," which translates to "the record of the community." The Popol Vuh is the chief source of our knowledge of the ancient Quiché people of Central America, and it is further of considerable comparative value when studied in conjunction with the mythology of the Nahuatlack, or Mayan peoples. Read about their  gods, their religious affinities and their customs in this    fascinating study by world renowned folklorist Lewis Spence.
