For Lord Reinberg.
In all cultures the man tried to shape the idea of \u200b\u200bcreation of the universe, trying to figure out how it happened and why to give some meaning to life. At this point there is all mythology, the myth of the creation myth creación.El always has a similar structure: the chaos, the potential of all is orderly and maternal great room by a male intrusion, an order, a law. In the Enuma Elisch (the Babylonian creation myth) in the beginning is made an assembly of gods led by Anu, the god Marduk is assigned to a task, go to kill Tiamat, the dragon that reigns in the chaos. Chaos is a giant, dark sea. Marduk kills Tiamat and his blood created the universe. Marduk is the masculine law, Tiamat and the sea are the chaos dark, damp and maternal.
The Popol Vuh is a book that collects people's legends Ketchi or Quiche, a Mayan peoples, who lived south of what is now called Guatemala. In this book we see how the Mayans were trying to explain the origin of the world and the phenomena of naturaleza.El Popol Vuh was written in English, but language characters Ketchi mid sixteenth century and translated 200 years later by the priest and historian Fray Francisco Seville reading of the Popol Vuh XimenezLa became over the centuries into a starting point for historians and philosophers to find out what life was like in Mesoamerica for hundreds of years and even was taken as a learning text not only for their own culture but to all others and life today.
Mesoamerican cultures share with Christianity the concept of creation of the universe by the word. Hunab Ku pronounced "let the world" and there was the creation, ordering the chaos. Before that the universe was only sky and sea and endless perpetual face to each other. There was nothing there was also equipped with two of them, the two major potential. Hunab Ku, the Great Creator created the universe to not be alone.
created the gods and the gods created the world. Gugumatz Tepeu and created the earth, trees and sun with the gift of speech, and talked together and decided to create man.
The gift of speech for this culture and many more, such as Christianity, as we said before is far greater than anything else. Tepeu and said Gugumatz Earth and the Earth appeared, they said appeared spontaneously trees and seeds that germinated and grew in seconds. And so the mountains glaciers, swamps, rivers, deserts, light and darkness out of the mouths of the gods. And everything was ready for humans.
The pantheon of gods for the Maya is equal to that of the Greeks, full of flaws that make human beings the gods power and eternal life. That makes the gods are selfish and egocentric. The gods in his huge vanity want to be revered, acclaimed, adored and glorified, they want to have subjects that created incondicionalmente.Primero love animals of all kinds, they designated their locations and their eating habits. But the animals could not answer the word, the animals had the gift of speech and could not say nothing worship the gods, the original purpose had been created that failed. For this reason the animals were reduced to lower spirit beings destined to eat each other for all eternity.
The gods had two more failed attempts: first came the man of clay that was fragile, he spoke and worshiped the gods, but was burned with fire, hardened by the sun and the rain is falling apart. The gods then dumped his second term the first hijos.En are created stick men, drawn from the wood of trees. The wooden men had no feelings, they were unable to see beyond themselves, saw the world as a tool that should be used to meet their needs, are not able to use the word to worship and thank the gods for the very creation. Then the gods sent the Flood (present in all cultures) to kill all men in the world. The survivors of the flood were condemned to another order, tools, tired of the abusive treatment he had been exposed for the selfish beings revealed wood and smashed their faces and jaws, so were demoted to another form of primitive life, were turned into monkeys.
animals who were then taken to the gods what they were looking for, the stuff that would be born a being capable to venerate them for the rest of his life, a being capable of accepting the gift of speech. The substance that rats led to the gods was the ear of corn, found in what today would be the valley of Mexico. The gods created
then the corn the first man and first woman. They talked, saw, loved, learned, were endowed with wisdom, soul, substance. The gods finally got what they always wanted. Finally were worshiped, the men were praised in his honor.
Here the gods had their own error. Corn Men knew all, saw everything. Were on par with the gods in all kinds of knowledge. They had so moved them that they had been endowed with a wisdom so great that soon overshadow that of themselves, and they will never allow it, because as I said the Mayan gods are proud of as humans.
then narrow the wisdom of man, narrowed their vision, not to look beyond what is necessary. And never saw the gods in the face, and never saw the light of wisdom, but always remember that in their hearts, and that the boost to go and thank the gods for the harvest.
