Popol Vuh (also Popul Vuh or Pop Vuj) [1][2] is a text recounting the mythology and history of the Kʼicheʼ people of Guatemala, one of the Maya peoples who also inhabit the Mexican states of Chiapas, Campeche, Yucatan and Quintana Roo, as well as areas of Belize, Honduras and El Salvador.
In explaining how the Mayan gods created the world, the Popol Vuh features the Hero Twins, Hunahpu and Xbalanque, who were transformed into, respectively, the Sun and the Moon.
The Popol Vuh is the story of creation according to the Quiche Maya of the region known today as Guatemala. Translated as The Council Book', The Book of the People' or, literally, The Book of the Mat', the work has been referred to as "The Mayan Bible " although this comparison is imprecise.
