It is a domesticated form of a native American grass, which may have been cultivated as early as 5000 BC by the ancestors of the Mayan and Aztec Indians, who bred it over centuries to become the plant we know today. Because of its fundamental role in society, it was invested with great cultural significance in their creation myths, and other legends and rituals. It is so hardy and productive that after Europeans reached America, its cultivation quickly spread round the world. It is now grown in most countries and is the third largest crop after wheat and rice. Corn is a basic ingredient in many traditional Latin American foods, such as tortillas, tamales and arepas and in drinks such as atole and chicha.* * *m corn, Brmaize* * *maíz nm: corn, maize* * *maíz n1.

They served as the focus of religious rites, and those of the Maya may also have functioned as astronomical observatories. The discovery in 1952 of a sarcophagus at the heart of the Mayan Pyramid of Inscriptions (built around 680 AD) at Palenque indicated that one at least was used as a tomb. The great pyramids of the Aztec capital Tenochtitlán (built in successive layers over the preceding two centuries) amazed the Conquistadors on their arrival in 1519, though this did not stop the Spanish from demolishing them and using the stone to build Mexico City's cathedral. Today the pyramids, whether ruined or restored, are among the most visited tourist sites in the Americas.* * *f pyramid* * *pirámide nf: pyramid* * *pirámide n pyramid -

The Popol Vuh, meaning “the Book of Counsel”, is made up of three parts, beginning with the creation of man. The second part tells of the mythical adventures of two gods, and part three narrates the history of the Maya Quiché people until their last kings were killed by the Spanish conquistadors. The codex (or manuscript) used today was written after the conquest in the Quiché language (although using the Latin alphabet) and was translated into Spanish in the 18th century. -
