The Mayan society is one of many complex, individual civilizations. In the Mayan society, there are multiple cultures and values. We learn multiple things from the Mayans and they helped start out many civilizations.There are many connections and value I learned from the Popol Vuh and the Mesopotamian Geography points. Some connections I can make relate to the Kente proverbs. One connection is to the Kente proverb “ It is the mother whose child has been eaten by a witch who best knows the evils of witchcraft” This relates to the Popol Vuh because the baller children were aware of how their fathers died and they went to avenge them. Another proverb that relates to this “A tiger does not have to show his tigerness” This relates to the twins because they did not have to dress as great warriors to beat the lords of Xibalba. One modern day connection is Karma. A lot of people believe in karma which is” when you do bad, bad will come back to you” I believe the Lords of Xibalba got Karma because they killed the hero twins fathers when they won which was cheating, so when the hero twins defeated them they got what they deserved. Some implications that are made are that there is always more than one story. This is true because the hero twins only knew their fathers as farmers when they were really great ball players. Another implication is that sacrifices are common in every society. Even in modern times, we make sacrifices, some sacrifices we make include paying money for food or electricity. Another implication is that rulers have to legitimate their rule. Rulers need to show that they are qualified for their job. Candidates for the presidential election have to try and make themselves look better than their opponents so people will vote for them. Legitimacy is key after you have proven yourself your followers will follow you blindly. One value that I learned in the Popol Vuh is people are made of corn. Corn was a big part of their life and nature, corn was the main source of food, and, therefore, life. Another value is that bad things happen to good people. When the 2 hero twins were in the vampire bat's cave, they bat had danced on the log so they knew that it was there, but when the bat stopped dancing, Hunter stuck his head out and the bat ate his head. Then the Lords of Xibalba played ball with his head. There were many things that I learned from the Popol Vuh, these were just a couple.
