Stop asking question about Mayan. Becouse you are not going to anderstand their beliefs. Thanks
The Mayans religion involved several aspects of nature, astronomy and rituals. Most Gods represented a form in nature, for example, Sun God, Kinih Ahous, or Maize God, Yum Kaax..
The Mayans did not have a holy book. The religious beliefs of Mayans were conveyed by word-of-mouth, through their art and through their rituals.
They sacrificed slaves and played a game in which they sacrificed the losers
primative cultures like that of the mayans didn't have a separation between religion and society like modern cultures have today. So everybody ascribed to the same beliefs, buying into them was part of being a part of society. They did however have different cults, with different rituals, whose purpose was to appeal to different aspects of socieety. Sorces: The Elementary Forms of Religious Life, Emile Durkheim
