	Popol Vuh - Crystalinks
		Van Akkeren (2003) discards Reynoso as the author of the Popol Vuh, since the viewpoint in the Titulo de Totonicapan is biased against the Kaweq lineage - he thinks that the authors were in fact the heads of a faction of the Kaweq lineage called the Nim Ch'okoj.
		The Popol Vuh is considered one of the literary treasures of the Americas.
		Some stories from the Popol Vuh continued to be told by modern Maya as folk legends; some stories recorded by anthropologists in the 20th century may preserve portions of the ancient tales in greater detail than the Ximénez manuscript.

	The Popol Vuh
		The Popol Vuh presents a mythological version of the creation of the world, followed by the adventures of the twin gods, Hunahpú and Xbalanqué;, that take place in a primordial age before the creation of the first human beings.
		The oldest version of the Popol Vuh still in existence is a transcription of the Quiché; text most likely made at the beginning of the XVIII century by a Dominican friar, Francisco Ximénez, who also made the first Spanish translation.
		The mythological tales recounted in the Popol Vuh are closely related to other mythological texts compiled at the beginning of the Colonial period as well as oral traditions handed down to the present in indigenous communities in Guatemala and other parts of Mesoamerica.

	Esotericism of the Popol Vuh by Raphael Girard, Homepage
		Esotericism of the Popol Vuh demonstrates beyond question that at the heart of Maya religion and custom there is a sophisticated spiritual philosophy with clear correspondences not only to ancient Mexican as well as Andean cosmogony and creation mythology, but also to the mythoi and cultures of other parts of the world.
		Employing the same method with the textual contents of the Popol Vuh, we can understand that the four "Ages" with their respective humanities which it discusses, refer not alone to the ancestors of the Quiché-Maya but more correctly to the whole of mankind in existence on earth in each of those periods of time.
		As seen, it is present in the Popol Vuh in the figure of Hunahpú as the paradigm of the spiritually perfected, illumined human being who sacrifices himself for the community, a word that here stands for the race or for humanity as a whole.

	The Popul Vuh, by Lewis Spence
		The name "Popol Vuh" signifies "Record of the Community," and its literal translation is "Book of the Mat," from the Kiché words "pop" or "popol," a mat or rug of woven rushes or bark on which the entire family sat, and "vuh" or "uuh," paper or book, from "uoch" to write.
		The "Popol Vuh" is an example of a world-wide genre--a type of annals of which the first portion is pure mythology, which gradually shades off into pure history, evolving from the hero-myths of saga to the recital of the deeds of authentic personages.
		In the "Popol Vuh" they are spoken of as being "covered with green feathers," the usual description of Gucumatz; but it is, of course, possible that they may have received some of his attributes in the general jumble of myths which, we have attempted to show, exists in the first book.

	Popol Vuh [www.progweed.net]
		The earliest incarnation of Popol Vuh may have been the most pioneering version of the group, but their debut album Affenstunde is certainly a far cry from classic later albums like Einsjager and Siebenjager or Seligpreisung, stylistically.
		Sure, the later Popol Vuh albums are brilliant in their own right, but the lack of synthesizers and an intentional change of aesthetic leave Affenstunde and In den Garten Pharaos as the sole torchbearers for the kind of revolutionary stuff the group were doing early on.
		Although Popol Vuh was a band of remarkable consistency throughout the decade, these two albums perhaps represent them at their best, apparently being the best examples of progressive rock they produced.

	In Memoriam: Florian Fricke and Popol Vuh
		Popol Vuh was a German progressive rock group that recorded over 24 albums from 1969 until the present.
		This is the classic Popol Vuh line-up that explored a sound driven by rock and world rhythms, with Fischelscher's ringing electric leads and Byrds-like chords and the Korean vocalist Djong Yun singing in German, but sounding wordless.
		Popol Vuh's music captivated German film director Werner Herzog, and he used their music in almost all his films, beginning with Aguirre: the Wrath of God in 1972.

	Ground and Sky review - Popol Vuh - In Den Gärten Pharaos
		One could say that this second installment in the Popol Vuh discog strikes a happy medium between the amorphous Moog 'n' percussion canvass of Affenstunde and, well, structure of some preliminary kind.
		"Vuh," the second side of this album, is dominated by majestic pipe organ drones, spectral traces of vocals, and multilayered streams of cymbal crashes and other percussion.
		In this way Florian Fricke and Popol Vuh's music remains constant — always centered around a deep spirituality — even as their tools and methods changed drastically through their long history.

	Popol Vuh - City Raga (1994)
		Popol Vuh are pioneers of "new age" music.
		Lead by Floorian Fricke, Popol Vuh's new release, City Raga, is an eclectic mix of styles and instrumentation, once again seperating it from most of the "new age" pack, who tend to rely totally on synthesizers for their music.
		The Denver Post said that Popol Vuh "combine European classicism and Gregorian chants with acoustic-oriented sounds inspired by indigenous peoples' music." And although you can certainly hear the "indigenous peoples' music" part, this album has more in common with Deep Forest than it does with Enigma or a group of monks.

	Review - Popol Vuh: Agape-Agape
		Popol Vuh was about the cosmos as philosophy and something to be contemplated - hence, they addressed issues of religion frequently in their music.
		This is the lyrical theme of the album, which, for the most part, like previous Popol Vuh records, is a collection of instrumental songs and includes simple repeated chants as vocals.
		Later works by Popol Vuh were, at times, criticized as being New Age folderol.

	The Popol Vuh
		The original manuscript of the Popol Vuh was discovered in the early eighteenth century by Fray Francisco Ximénez, born in Éjica, Upper Andalusia, on November 28, 1668.
		In the Popol Vuh, man builds a palace, a pyramid, and because he rests his own material structures upon ancient ones, linking them together many times, it is a book of fragments, of constructions one on top of the other, and shards of pottery from different periods.
		The Popol Vuh-anonymous as I believe it to be, or by the Quiché; Diego Reynoso-was a Popol Vuh in ruins, deserted, lost in the jungles of memory, as Yaxilán, Tikal and Uaxactún were lost in the jungles of El Petén for the anonymous author and his contemporaries.

		THE Popol Vuh was composed by a native of Guatemala in the 17th century from traditions handed down by the priests of the Feathered-Serpent, and translated from the Quiche (a dialect of Maya) into Spanish by Francisco Ximenez.
		The third part of the Popol Vuh continues the story of creation: Once more the gods commune together and the Creator and Former made four perfect men(14) -- wholly of yellow and white maize was their flesh composed.
		The early portion of the fourth part of the Popol Vuh tells how the four patriarchs withdrew from association with their fellows, but were occasionally seen, together with the gods, in the mountains and forests; human sacrifice began to be secretly practised and strife with the other tribes began.

		Popol Vuh's earliest music dates from the late 1960's and early 70's and is fairly typical of the exploratory, abstract electronica in vogue among German bands at the time.
		It marks the first appearance of Popol Vuh's trademark jangling guitar and piano combination, a luminous ambient sound that came to define the band's very soul.
		The Best Of Popol Vuh: Werner Herzog (the 1989 version, later versions are shorter) is an excellent summery of the band's soundtrack music with an emphasis on the group's vocal work of the late 70's and 80's.

	Popol Vuh - Pandora Internet Radio
		Of the many now-legendary artists to emerge from the Krautrock movement, few anticipated the rise of modern electronic music with the same prescience as Popol Vuh -- the first German band to employ a Moog synthesizer, their work not only anticipated the emergence of ambient, but also proved pioneering in its absorption of worldbeat textures.
		The follow-up two years later, In den Garten Pharaos, was Popol Vuh's creative breakthrough, an intensely meditative work fusing ambient textures with organic percussion.
		In its wake, however, Fricke converted to Christianity, a move which sparked a rejection of electronics in favor of traditional ethnic instrumentation including guitars, oboe and tamboura; he then tapped korean soprano Djong Yun to lend vocals to 1972's lovely Hosianna Mantra.
