It seems that one of the most important texts of Mesoamerica is the Quiché Mayan work called the Popol Vuh. There is no certainty about the origins of the work, since the first known written version is a phonetic transcription of oral Quiché mythology concerning creation and the genealogy of a royal Mayan lineage. The written text seems to have been prepared during the mid-sixteenth century, after the Spanish conquest, but the manuscript is lost. Debates about authorship also seem to exist due to the fact that the point of view of the genealogy portion is quite very clearly biased. The creation myth is a story of quite a number of attempts to create man, from mud, wood, and finally maize. The Mayan world portrayed in the story is filled with rivalries, violence, and transformation of characters. There are both male and female characters who are treacherous and cunning as they trick their rivals and compete for power and recognition.
