Book Description
When FBI agent Lili Foxworthy took a trip with her charismatic husband, actor Peter von Rabenhorst, down to the Yucatan peninsula; all she wanted to do was relax with Peter and help him with the research he needed for an upcoming play, End Game. What she got instead was an introduction to one of their ancestors, a few immortal Mayan gods, and Mayan priests who were reenacting an appearance by the great Mayan god Q, for the hordes of tourists who were arriving to witness the end times, as some said was predicted by the Mayan calendar to happen at the end of 2012.

Sharing many common beliefs, deities, and rituals, the religion of the Maya, Aztec, and Inca was rooted in both the earth and the sky, the rhythms of the seasons, and the movements of the sun, moon, and stars.

Lavish primary-source images of arts and artifacts are paired with text that is both information-packed and enthralling. Readers who enter this pantheon are in for an awe-inspiring cultural journey through the divine mysteries of time and space.

Book Description
The Mayan people were natural storytellers, and their imagination knew no bounds. They took the traditional Mesoamerican versions of creation and the gods of the universe and molded them into their own, adding and shaping their unique version of mythology and folktales. This left us with a significant pantheon of gods and goddesses, each with a memorable and captivating story. The Mayans had an image of the universe and their place in it, and they told stories of gods and heroes that rival Greek Mythology.

Book Description
Mayan gods had affinities and aspects that caused them to merge with one another in ways that seem unbounded. There is a massive array of supernatural characters in the Maya religious tradition, only some of which recur with regularity. Good and evil traits are not permanent characteristics of Maya gods, nor is only "good" admirable. What is inappropriate during one season might come to pass in another since much of the Maya religious tradition is based on cycles and not permanence. Schellhas explains the Mayan gods that represent the natural elements, such as life and death, the sun and moon, giving technical and anthropological evaluation of each god image. He explains the gods worshipped by the Mayans and how they interplay into the daily lives of these spiritual, yet fierce, people. The Maya is a Mesoamerican civilization, noted for the only known fully developed written language of the pre-Columbian Americas, as well as for its art, architecture, and mathematical and astronomical systems. Initially established during the Pre-Classic period (c. 2000 BC to AD 250), according to the Mesoamerican chronology, many Maya cities reached their highest state of development during the Classic period (c. AD 250 to 900), and continued throughout the Post-Classic period until the arrival of the Spanish.
