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. -
