This sacred book of the Maya was eventually written in 1558 down by a native who learned to write the Mayan tongue using Latin characters. This manuscript was later discovered in 1701 by Father Francisco Ximénez in his parish church of Santo Tomás, in Chichicastenango, Guatemala, and he translated it into Spanish. The "Popol Vuh" describes the creation of the Maya universe, tells the tale of the heroic supernatural twins who battle the underworld lords, describes the creation of man from corn and the fate of his descendants who populated the world, and finally lists the line of Quiché kings up to the arrival of the Spanish conquistadors. 000334155 63000 $$aPopol vuh. 000334155 650_0 $$aQuiché mythology. 000334155 650_0 $$aQuiché Indians$$xReligion. 000334155 7001_ $$aMontejo, Víctor,$$d1951- 000334155 7001_ $$aUnger, David,$$d1950- 000334155 7001_ $$aGaray, Luis. 000334155 85200 $$bgen$$hF1465$$i.P813$$i2005 000334155 909CO $$ooai:library.usi.edu:334155$$pGLOBAL_SET 000334155 980__ $$aBIB 000334155 980__ $$aBOOK
