POPUL VUH
The title translates as "Book of the Community", literally as "Book of the People". Popol Vuh's prominent features are its creation myth, its epic tales of the Hero Twins Hunahpú and Xbalanqué,. Popol Vuh encompasses a range of subjects that includes creation, ancestry, history, and cosmology.
HERO TWINS
Hunahpu and his brother were conceived when their mother Xquic, daughter of one of the lords of Xibalba, spoke with the severed head of their father Hun. The skull spat upon the maiden's hand, which caused the twins to be conceived in her womb. Xquic sought out Hun Hunahpu's mother, who begrudgingly took her as a ward after setting up a number of trials to prove her identity
Five Gods of the Maya Pantheon
Itzamna
The ruler of the heavens and of day and night, he was often shown in Mayan art as a pleasant, toothless old man with a large nose. He was also identified as the son of the creator god Hunab Ku.
MAIZE god (or "first father”)- Several theories, with varying degrees of ethnographic support, have been formulated to account for episodes such as the maize deity's resurrection from a turtle, his canoe voyage, and his transformation into a cacao tree. Many scholars believe that the resurrected maize god of the classic period corresponds to the father of the hero twins in the Popol Vuh called Hun-Hunahpu.
Kinich Ahau was the Mayan god of the sun. Every morning he would bring the sun up for the Mayans and every night bring it down
Chac is the name of the Maya rain deity. With his lightning axe, Chaac strikes the clouds and produces thunder and rain
Ix Chel – Maya fertility goddess. Also goddess of childbirth and moon.
Kukulkan (Yucatec Maya) - Plumed Serpent; god of wind, priests, merchants, and the link between the earth and the sky.

Mythology can refer to the collected myths of a group of people—their collection of stories they tell to explain nature, history, and customs—or to the study of such myths. As a collection of explanatory stories, mythology is a vital feature of every culture. 

MAYA WORLDVIEW

The Popol Vuh (sacred book of the community) narrates the Maya creation story, the tales of the Hero Twins, and the account of the creation of the sky, the Earth, and all life.

The Maize god emerges from the Underworld through a cracked turtle shell, symbolizing the earth. The Hero Twins pour water onto their father to facilitate his resurrection, as Maya farmers water maize seeds to help them sprout.
