should i watch this before reading Popol Vuh?

@Whoamiii111

It may help present an artistic background to the book, as this art was taken from Mayan sources (painted depictions of the Popol Vuh, on pottery).

But this animation only covers the first two of the four books of the Popol Vuh, of which there are many translations.

I hope you enjoy both the animation and the book.

its funny this is myth , but the bible is also a myth ????

the bible is made by a white ppl and popol vuh is made indian mayans . what side are you ???

[sejembalm]

@tiburon69 A myth is a traditional or legendary story, usually concerning some being or hero or event, with or without a determinable basis of fact or a natural explanation, especially one that is concerned with deities or demigods and explains some practice, rite, or phenomenon of nature.

And the film was officially described as the Maya creation myth.

But a film describing the story of creation in the biblical book of Genesis would scarcely not be touted as a myth, although that's what it is

This is the story of CREATION! As told by the Quiche' Maya. It's a Genesis. The first super people. Before modern humans...

@Ixtemoc

Examine how this is similar and different compared to the other creation myths.

I haven't seen this since I was in 6th grade (which was a long time ago). Seeing this video gave me so much memories.
