Thank you for this creation story. I find it interesting that the God's created 4 of each sex. Was this to account for racial or tribal differences? I wonder.
While I’m not a scholar on Mayan myths I’ve found, the deeper I’ve probed, is the reasonings are far from explainable. In some ways (maybe this is true about most religious texts as well) the Popol Vuh sometimes resembles The Winchester Mystery House in architecture: staircases that lead to nowhere, doors that don’t open.
Fascinating, such a cool creation story
