A detailed account of Mayan gods and goddesses

The Temple of the Mayan gods and goddesses is a series of humanized gods that are often associated with the spiritual power of everything.

As a group, the Union State, known as the Mayan polity, shares all the gods, but some of them are identified as specific Mayan centres or the dynasty of the rulers of these cities.

Key points: There are at least 200 gods in the temple of Maya and goddess Maya.

• Important include the God of Death, the God of Birth, the God of Rain and Thunderstorm and the God of Creation.

• Some of the gods are relatively new, first in the late post-classic era, while others are older.

God is powerful, but not universally worshipped.

Many Mayan myths, including those depicted in a 16th century holy book called Popol Vuh, show how ruthless and cruel they were deceived, injured and even killed by wise humans or semi-gods like the heroes ' twins.

According to the colonial record, the gods have a hierarchy, with Ichamuna at the highest level.

Many gods have multiple names and different aspects, making it difficult to determine how many Mayans there are: perhaps at least 200.

The most important of these are the creators Ichamna, the rain god Chuck, the birth goddess Ixcher, and the death god Aputh and Akan.

Itzamna is also known as Ah Dzib (“copywriter”) or idzat (“the learned man”), for Maya scholars during the D period.

Itzamna is closely related to creation and trust, and it is also related to writing, divination, wisdom and deep knowledge.

The colonial record says he is the supreme ruler of the Mayan gods.

Itzamna usually expresses his age by biting his teeth or mouth, and can appear in many different forms: as a priest, or as a gator of the Earth (a crocodile), sometimes as a humanized tree or bird god.

In the Maya book known as the Madrid Code, Ichamuna was wearing a high cylindrical and decorated cloak.

Ah Puch is Maya's death, usually related to death, body decay and the welfare of new victims.

His nicknames in Quechua include Cimi (“Death”) and Cizin (“Inflate”).

By Mayan scholars, it is called “God A”, and Aputh is an ancient god, which appears in the late classical Maya tablets, as well as in the handwritten copies of Madrid and Borgia and in the late postclassic ceramics.

In both versions, Apuch is a microcosm of decay, in the form of bones and often in the scene of execution.

The image of Aputh usually includes a big black spot on his body, which may be an expression of decay, as well as a large and apparently swelling abdomen, sometimes replaced by rotting substances or spilled blood.

The images of the classical period sometimes include hairy hairy furs (the “death furs”) with spherical elements that extend outwards, which have been identified as bells, wave drums or prominent eyeballs.

He's always in his hairThere's a human bone.

His image is usually funny, with particular reference to his anal and gastrointestinal gas.

Cold, known by scholars as God A' (pronounced “God A Prime”), is another god of death, but more specifically, of wine and drinking, disease and death.

Akan often carries enema syringes and/or is depicted as vomiting, both of which indicate that he is involved in alcohol-drinking competitions, in particular alcoholic beverage pulque (“chih”).

Cold's face is characterized by a semi-colon or percentage number on his cheek and a blackened area around his eyes.

There are often signs of darkness or night (Ak'b'al or Akbal) above or around his eyes, and there is often a human femur in his hair.

Scholars say he is the god of suicide, often described as cutting off his head.

Hurakan Huracan, also spelled Hurakan, also known in Popol Vuh as U K'ux Kaj (“the heart of the sky”); K'awiil of the classical era; “The God of Decorated Nose” and K of scholars.

He is the God of One Foot and the idol, and the God of Maya Lightning.

The illustration of Huracan shows that he has a long, snake-shaped nose, a belly plaster — like the angular plates that were seen in turtle shells — and a single, often burning snake leg and foot.

Sometimes he wears an axe, a burning torch or a cigar, and he often has a round mirror on his forehead.

In Popol Vuh, Huracan is described as three gods who co-sponsored the creation of a moment: Ka Kulaha Huracan, translated as “legs lightning”, “blast lightning” or “blast lightning”, Chipi Ka Kulaha, as “dwarve lightning”, “fresh lightning”, “fresh lightning” or “gold lightning”, “green lightning”, “primit flash” or “bummer thunder” Huracan is considered to be the fertile god of corn, but he is also associated with lightning and rain.

Some Maya kings, such as Waxaklahun-Ubah-K'awil of Ticar, named after him and dressed as K'awiil to express their rights.

Camazotz or Zotz appeared in a story in Popol Vuh where the hero twins Xbalanque and Hunahpu found themselves trapped in a cave full of bats.” The twins climbed into their air guns to sleep, so they were protected, but when Hunahpu stretched his head out from the end of the air gun to see if the long night was over, Camazzoz fell down and beheaded his head.

The story of the hero twins trapped in a bat hole didn't appear anywhere elseThey did not appear in the Mayan Code, nor did they appear on a vase or stone.

But bats are sometimes labelled as Ka'kh' Uti' suts' (“fire is the language of bats”), and they do appear in Mayan portraits in four roles: symbols of certain groups; couriers and pairs with birds; birth or pollinating symbols paired with hummingbirds; and, as a “presence of wildness”, a form of beasts of man-made disease.

Rockefeller Gift, 1968 Zipacna (or Sipac) was considered a companion of the Pan-Central American God Cipacelli, and Earth monster had to be killed to create the Earth.

Zipacna, mainly from the 16th century highland record of Popol Vuh, also appears in the oral tradition of rural towns in Mayan regions of the Highlands.

According to Popol Vuh, Zipacna was a mountain maker, looking for crabs and fish during the day and climbing at night.

One day he dragged a giant pole to help 400 boys building a new house.

The boys conspired to kill him, but Zipacna saved herself.

Thought they killed him, 400 boys were drunk, Zipakna came out of his hideout, threw the house over them, killed them all.

In retaliation for the death of 400 boys, the hero twins decided to kill Zipacna, push a mountain over his chest and turn him into a stone.

Ixcher Ix Chel or the goddess, a goddess who always has claws, wears a snake as her head.

Ix Chel is sometimes portrayed as a young woman and sometimes as an old woman.

Sometimes she is portrayed as a man and sometimes she has both male and female characteristics.

There's even evidence that Ix Chel is not the name of this goddess, but whatever her name is, the goddess I is the goddess of the moon, the goddess of the birth, the goddess of the birth, the goddess of the pregnancy and the woman of the knitting, and she is often portrayed as wearing a fresh moon, a rabbit and a beak.

According to colonial records, there is a Mayan shrine on Kosumer island。
