This week reading was about Mayan Indians.The Maya Indians of Central America are considered the first truly great American Indian civilization.There are still Maya Indians in parts of the Central American region, but the civilization long ago became less important than other civilizations in the area such as the Aztecs.While the Egyptians greatest god was the sun god, for the Mayans the greatest was the sky god. This is kind of like historical fiction and history.My favorite Mayan folktale was the Rabbit and the Coyote. This was my favorite because it was interesting how the coyote kept on doing everything the rabbit said to do. The rabbit kept on tricking the coyote. Popol Vuh is very interesting telling us that we were made from monkeys which isn't true. Popol Vuh was like other civilizations that were heir god is called the Heart-of-Sky. In this creation their god is called the Heart-of-Sky. Their god wanted someone and or something to worship the work being done . The picture below is a myan symbol (Week 9)
