	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.

	The Popul Vuh
		The Popol Vuh ("Council Book") is the Maya book of scripture, containing the Maya civilization's Creation myth followed by the religously important stories of the hero twins.
		Pre-Columbian Maya funeral pottery often contains sections of text from the Popul Vuh in heiroglyphs, and illustrations of scenes from the legends.
		Some stories from the Popul 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 XimÃ©nez manuscript.

	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.
		While one would otherwise probably not have many clues to this based on the remainder of the Popul Vuh discography, "Vuh" reveals somewhat of a musical kinship to Klaus Schulze (who provides some of the liner notes in memoriam to Fricke on the latest reissue of this album, SPV 085-70112 CD).

	Mayan - Popol Vuh
		The Popol Vuh, preserved in various transcriptions since the 16th century, was lost for many years and rediscovered.
		A handful of translations for adults have been published since the Popol Vuh was first made accessible to the public in the 1980s.
		But in 1997 the discovery of a stone frieze inside a 1,500-year-old temple in the southern Mexican state of Chiapas bolstered the theory that the book was written by Indian converts to Christianity who wanted to preserve the religious texts that had been passed down orally or through Mayan hieroglyphics.

		Alberto Ginastera died in June 1983 before he could finish ''Popul Vuh,'' his orchestral interpretation of a Mayan legend about the world's creation that Eugene Ormandy and the Philadelphia Orchestra had commissioned from the composer eight years earlier.
		Most of 'Popul Vul'' seems to unfold at one or the other extreme of the dynamic spectrum, with blasting horns called on to signify creation, quiet half-step phrases assigned to the low strings when nighttime is being evoked, and a combination of loudly beating drums and rattles used to simulate an Indian ceremony.

		Popul Vuh is the sacred book of the ancient Quiché Maya of Guatemala.

		To those who believe that the people had contact with Christianity, either before or after the coming of the European missionaries, Popul Vuh is legend.

	World Cinema on DVD - Short Reviews and Selections
		Florian Fricke (1944-2001) was the genius behind the mythical German band Popul Vuh, providing music for Werner Hertzog's films, including “Aguirre, Wrath of God”, “Nosferatu The Vampyre”, “Cobra Verde” and “Fitzcarraldo”.
		Composer, Fricke was a master of dark, dreamy, visionary music; using analogue synthesizers in a textured, humanized style along with traditional wind and percussive instruments.
		Popul Vuh presented a totally unique approach to soundtrack music, which ultimately created an often eerie and vivid soundscape to Hertzog's equally original cinematic masterpieces.

	El Popol Vuh
		Lo que sí sabemos es que el Popol Vuh como lo conocemos fue escrito un poco después de la Conquista en el idioma quiché con auxilio del alfabeto castellano por uno o varios indígenas cristianizados, muy posiblemente miembros de la derrotada realeza quiché.
		Este Popol Vuh seguramente fue una copia que el autor o autores transcribieron de un original, ya sea uno que tenían a la vista y en su poder, o lo transcribieron de memoria; lo único que quedaba de los miles de códices que se perdieron en el humo cristiano.
		Hay varias traducciones del Popol Vuh del idioma quiché a otros idiomas.

		The Popul Vuh (the Mayan creation story), is not just a linear history; it contains a parallel, other-dimensional story that occurs in another timeframe.
		It is written in the Popul Vuh, that the playing of the game awakens the Lords of the Underworld, and it was after playing the ball game that the Twins were summoned into that realm (access is gained, to the other dimensions).
		The Popul Vuh reveals itself as a "book of the dead", and reminds us to take a longer-term approach to the 2012 end-date, and to consider our future lives, and the future of our tribe.

	Sacred Texts: The Maya Creation Myth (Site not responding. Last check: )
		The Popul Vuh survived because the missionaries transcribed the sounds of the Maya language into alphabetic equivalents.
		The only known copy of the Popul Vuh is a dual-language text in the Roman alphabet written by a friar in the early eighteenth century alongside his own translation of the Quiché; into Spanish.
		In the first excerpt, the opening of the Popul Vuh occasionally alludes to the imposition of Christianity; for the most part, however, the text ignores biblical teaching, retelling the Quiché; creation story of the Mesoamerican world that gave it being.

	The Popol Vuh The Sacred Book of the Mayas!
		FORWARD BY SYLVANUS G. The Popol Vuh, or Sacred Book of the ancient Quiché Maya, as it has been happily subtitled, is, beyond any shadow of doubt, the most distinguished example of native American literature that has survived the passing centuries.
		Their description of the Creation as given in the Popol Vuh, which may be called the national book of the Quichés, is, in its rude strange eloquence and poetic originality, one of the rarest relics of aboriginal thought.--Hubert Howe Bancroft, The Native Races, III, 42.
		In both the Spanish and the English version of the Popol Vuh, I have tried to keep to the original text and to adjust myself strictly to the peculiarities of the Quiché language, which is simple and synthetical and yet does not lack elegance of expression.

	Popul Vuh gullbuy review
		By the time Popol Vuh tackled the soundtrack to the Werner Herzog film Nosferatu: The Vampyre in 1978, they had completed the transition of their sound from Krautrock jammers to mystical soundscape pioneers.
		Apparently, however the soundtrack album has had a spotty career throughout the years, and even though this version adds 20 minutes to the running length, there are still some discrepancies between what was heard in the movie and what is found here.
		The only time I thought it didn't live up to how far Popol Vuh had come, was on the last track Zwiesprache Der Rohrflöte which combines sitars with the prog rock guitars in an odd way.
