4:39 PM Mon Dec 3 25% Introduction SECTION 1 The Maya culture was an extremely literate culture (Christensen, et al.) The tradition of writing was pictographic and many sites are still being found in the Guatemalan highlands and coastal regions where the glyphs were recorded on stone. When the Spanish began their colonization of the Ameri- cas, the priests were instructed to destroy every written record of the Maya so as to eliminate any cultural obstacles in the way of conversion to the Catholic faith. REVIEW QUESTIONS What episodes in the Popol Vuh remind you of events depicted in the Christian Creation Myth? What literary devices can you identify, and how do they compare with other Creation Myths? The significance of the Popul Vuh, the sacred text of the Quiche Maya, is the original recording of the oral history of the myth of creation of the world, the creation of humans and all of the creatures and plants of the world, and the relations of Gods and men. The text is unusual in many ways. The only surviving manuscript is a translation into Latin and Spanish by the Spanish priest, Francisco Ximenez, sometime between 1700-1715. The original manuscript is in the Newberry Library at the University of Chicago. What is the role of nature in the Creation Myth? The scholar and translator, Allen Christensen, describes how the power of the original spoken words of the Maya creation myths continues to exercise a meaningful place in the Mayan tradition. When written manuscripts that contain the sacred texts are read aloud, a shaman may bless the reading by offering incense and prayers to invoke the blessings and forgiveness of the Gods whose words are reflected there. Even the style of the storytelling tradition in Maya culture reflects the presence of the sacred as stories are told in the present tense. In other words, the creation myth is told as if it is being currently witnessed by the storyteller. 49 4:39 PM Mon Dec 3 25% 4 alus THE FIRST BOOK BA
