Written in a narrative style, the book offers insight into the worldview of the Maya people, their gods, and the creation of the world. The Maya had a unique written language system, which was almost lost following the brutal Spanish conquest in 1519. The Spanish colonizers, after enslaving and massacring the Maya, destroyed their sacred texts, idols, and religious practices in an effort to convert them to Christianity. Despite the destruction, the Maya kept their ancient stories alive through oral tradition.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"967\" data-end=\"1435\"\u003eIn the late 1600s, Spanish priests began teaching the Maya the Roman script, and the Maya scholars used this opportunity to transcribe their history and mythology. \u003cem data-start=\"1131\" data-end=\"1142\"\u003ePopol Vuh\u003c\/em\u003e was eventually written down in this new script, with Francisco Ximenez being one of the key figures in preserving the text.
