		Balam means "jaguar" or "wizard", and is a family surname; so Chilam Balam was a concrete miracle worker, a sacerdote from the town of Maní who seems to have lived a little before the conquest and who had a great reputation as a prophet.
		As for the contents of the Chilam Balam de Chumayel, the majority of the texts are religious, distinguishing the individual fragments from the cosmological myths, without apparent connection between them; perhaps they refer to the distinct cosmic catastrophes that are found in the myths of other groups, such as the Quichés and the Nahuas.
