Spartanburg SC | GoUpstate.com | Spartanburg Herald-Journal In the 16th-century Verapaz, the entrance to Xibalba was traditionally held to be a cave in the vicinity of Cobán, Guatemala. Xibalba was home of a famous ball court in which the heroes of the Popol Vuh succumbed to the trickery of the Xibalbans in the form of a deadly, bladed ball, as well as the site in which the Maya Hero Twins outwitted the Xibalbans and brought about their downfall. The role of Xibalba and the Xibalbans after their great defeat at the hands of the hero twins is unclear, although it seems to have continued its existence as a dark place of the underworld long after. www.goupstate.com /apps/pbcs.dll/section?category=NEWS&template=wiki&text=Xibalba   (848 words)

Xibalba in Mayan Mythology Take our accounts with a pinch of salt - in particular, all these losing-Scrabble-hand names vary from source to source. Pronounce the vowels as if they were Spanish ("ah, eh, ee, oh, oo"), stressing the end syllable (QUICHE = "kee-CHAY"); but X means "sh", so it's XIBALBA = "shi-bahl-BAH". Don't worry about it, though; it's not as if these Hispanicised spellings were accurate. www.xibalba.demon.co.uk /ban/maya.html   (913 words)
