The Mayans had a polytheistic religion. They worshiped many different gods and goddesses. They believed that the sun and moon were helped by the gods and they believed in an underworld. They believed that their gods lived on top of mountains. They believed that sacrifices to the gods would please them and that the gods brought their wrath upon the people when the people did something that did not please the gods.

∙ 12y agoFor the Mayan who died a noble death such as sacrafice, in battle or childbirth, the soul would travel to heaven. For the Mayan who lived in greed and sin his punishment was eternity of suffering in the Xilbalba, the underworld, or hell as we know it. For those who died but fit into neither group they wandered and paid penance with the hope of eventual admittance to heaven.
