Yum KaaxYes they did .
Mayan Priest (which I prefer to call Shamans) were in posses of both divine and intellectual power, they could contact the Universe and the Gods, they also were known for a incredible knowledge of Astrology, thus , having a calendar much more exact then our current one. The Mayan Priests were also who sacrificed people to the Gods, which, on that time, being sacrificed was considered one of the greatest honors to the Gods.
The Mayan believed all things to be linked with the divine. The Mayan creator God was known as Hunab Ku. death and Destruction were represented by the Old Woman Goddess and Xbalanque (also representing Venus and the Jaguar), and Hunapu, the Hero Twins were associated with the stars, the Sun and life. It was believed that the Hero Twins entered Xibala, the Underworld, outsmarted the death Gods and were reborn as the Sun and Venus. The more important Maya Deities were Kinich Ahau, a Sun God, Ah Chicum Ek, a North Star God, Chac, a rain God, Itzamna, the reptile God, and Yum Cimil, a death God to name a few. All in all, the Mayan Pantheon consisted of thirteen Upper World Gods and nine Underworld Gods.
One thing in Maya is that they had accepted slavery as part of life. Slaves were mostly just prisoners captured from war, slavery also could have been a punishment for a crime , so therefore as a punishment he must be a slave for a certain amount of time... or he will be a slave forever.

It depends on the civilization you are talking about; for Aztecs and Toltecs, such god was Tonatiuh; the face at the center or the Aztec calendar is his. For the Maya and Olmec civilizations, Kinich Ahau was the 'Jaguar Sun God'.
The face in the middle of the Mayan calendar is often referred to as the Sun God or Kinich Ahau. It is represented as a deity associated with rulership, agriculture, and the cycle of life. The face is a symbolic representation of the importance of the sun in Mayan beliefs and culture.
