La civilización maya floreció hace mucho en lo que es ahora Guatemala y Yucatán. Un factor distintivo de esta cultura es que tenían un lenguaje escrito altamente desarrollado, poseían conocimientos avanzados en astronomía, y tenían un sofisticado sistema de matemáticas. Como resultado, la historia maya no solo fue escrita sino que también fue fechada asertivamente. Por desgracia la mayor parte de los documentos escritos mayas fueron destruidos por los españoles poco tiempo después de la conquista. Un libro sagrado logró sobrevivir a esta irremediable tragedia: el Popol Vuj, que fue trascrito en el alfabeto latino en 1558 y traducido al español en 1701. La narración traza las tradiciones y los orígenes mitológicos del pueblo k''iche'' además de contar su historia, su cronología y la sucesión de generaciones de reyes y señores hasta la conquista. El Popol Vuj es un testamento del hecho de que las Américas, también, tenían textos sagrados como la Biblia y las mitologías greco-romanas. Popol Vuj: un libro sagrado de los maya, escrito, ilustrado, traducido y editado por aquellos cuyas raíces yacen en Centro-América, es el primer intento de ofrecer una versión de autoridad de este libro esencial para los niños modernos. | Popol Vuj by Victor Montejo Paperback | Indigo Chapters Books > Kids Books > Fairytales & Myths & Folklore P10153, Victor Montejo<
