The ancient Maya civilization worshipped a pantheon of gods, each representing various aspects of life, nature, and the cosmos. Key deities included Itzamná, the creator god associated with wisdom and the sky, and Kukulkan, a feathered serpent god linked to wind and rain. These gods were often depicted in art and mythology, reflecting their importance in daily life and rituals. Maya religious practices involved ceremonies, offerings, and the construction of grand temples to honor these deities. The Popol Vuh, a sacred text, narrates the creation myths and the adventures of gods like Hunahpú and Xbalanque, emphasizing the deep connection between the Maya people and their divine beliefs.
