The Popol Vuh

The Popol Vuh is the foundational mythic and cosmological text of the K'iche' Maya, recounting the creation of the world, the adventures of divine beings, and the origins of humanity. It is historically significant as one of the most important surviving Indigenous American sacred narratives, and readers will encounter creation myths, heroic episodes, and reflections on sacred authority and ancestry.
