As is often the case with ancient texts, the Popol Vuh's significance lies in the scarcity of early accounts of Mesoamerican cultures, largely due to the purging of documents by the Spanish conquistadors. Today there remains no document of greater importance to the study of pre-Columbian mythology. This text of the Popol Vuh \u0026amp;; which is translated variously as \"Book of the Community,\" \"Book of Counsel,\" or, more literally, \"Book of the People\" \u0026amp;; begins as pure mythology and gradually develops into pure history, progressing from heroic legends to the deeds of authentic historical figures. It tells of the gods who created mankind, as well as a great flood and other stories with intriguing parallels to the myths of different cultures. This edition features the classic translation by the distinguished folklorist Lewis Spence.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eEAN:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780486836645\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003ePackage Dimensions:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.0 x 5.0 x 1.0 inches\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguages:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Dover","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":50212749214000,"sku":"Trans_9780486836645","price":254.0,"currency_code":"INR","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0690\/9968\/4144\/files\/810S6SzgAbL.jpg?v=1760340282","url":"https:\/\/www.retailmaharaj.com\/products\/the-popol-vuh-thrift-editions","provider":"Retail Maharaj","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
