  • The Popol Vuh -- a centuries-old text sometimes known as the “Mayan Bible” -- is getting a fresh treatment. Ilan Stavans, a professor at Amherst College, recently wrote “Popol Vuh: A Retelling.” “This is a book about how the universe was created,” Stavans told Inside Edition Digital. “It's a lesson of survival, it's the story of how people managed to face all sorts of the challenges, and still remain together, and fight for their endurance in spite of everything.” #InsideEdition

    Oh I learned about this in History class the Spanish burned hundreds of Mayan books because they couldn't understand it so the priest called it evil writing.

    Reasons why the squirrels might be attacking:

      Actually the Mayans were right, the world "as we knew it," ended on 2012, but we haven't fully realized yet so the next generations will have a fuller understanding of these transformative and quantum leap events and glivally ecognize it as a true event, maybe the start of "POST HISTORY", the third and final mortal living stage of mankind.
