Mayan Gods

Hunahpu Utiu *PV*                       Qaholom *PV*
Hunahpu-Gutch *PV*                   Oxlahuntiku *CHB*
Ajtzak *PV*                                    Ahmucen-Cab                   Cacoch
Ajbit *PV*                                      Alom
Xmucane *PV*                              Bitol
Xpiayoc *PV*                                Cabaguil


The names you see above are the 13 creators of mayan civilization. I think its very interesting that there is more then one creator considering jealousy. In speaks of christianity religion, God in there eyes is seen as a very jealous God. No one else shall be worshipped but him alone. Hence Ten Commandments "Thou shalt not have any other Gods before me" as well as "Thou shalt not make any idols before me". The idea of sharing power amongst 13 different Gods/Creators, actually really surprises me. You would think there would be intense fights, arguments etcc... I guess that really shows how much the 13 of them were really in unity/harmony.
