When the Spanish took over Central America in the 16th and 17th
centuries they made certain to destroy the writings and holy books
of the native Mayans in an effort to convert them to Christianity.
Few texts survived, yet one did of the highest importance. It is
called The Popol Vuh. It is the creation story of the Mayan culture
and, according to the author, this was the first English rendering
of that text. It tells the story of a great flood, gods who created
mankind, and a number of other interesting parallels to mythologies
from around the world. This is the "Genesis" of the mysterious
Mayas and should be essential reading for those interested in our
ancient past. The book also contains three bonus chapters from
Spence on mythology and religion from ancient Mexico. All of the
gods and deities are fully explained and at times compared with
those from Greece, Rome, and Egypt. All told, this is a fascinating
collection of mythology from Central America and Mexico.
