Popol Vuh

As I read I discovered that the book was about stories come of them like the genesis in our bible, stories that explain how the world was created and how they explained some mysteries on earth. Stories about the mountains and the animals, how some of the"gods" we can say created those things and how they used to fight against each other until someone wins.
It is a book from a mayan culture, but actually we can't consider it to be a bible or spiritual scrips they're just stories, or legends they used to tell to explain everything around them.
The one I liked the most was on the first chapter because it was the creation of the world, how the gods by just mentioning the name of the things made it possible to exist the difference is that the story is to short and they don;t talk really much about the flood like on the bible and that they were different types of men before the ones we know.
