Maya mythology - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia |
 | | Although the southern lowland and highland Maya regions of present-day Guatemala saw very little further monument building during this period, the maintenance of traditional beliefs among the local Maya is attested by the accounts and reports of the 16th and 17th century Spanish. |
| | The Maya believed there were five different cardinal directions four of which were associated with colors: north/white, south/yellow, east/red, west/fl, and center which was associated with the tree of life, symbolised by a great ceiba tree that was the center of the cosmos. |
| | In Maya mythology, Tepeu and Gucumatz (also known as Kukulkan, and as the Aztec's Quetzalcoatl) are referred to as the Creators, the Makers, and the Forefathers. |
