Therefore is the name of it called Babel;
because the LORD did there confound the language of all the earth: and from thence did the LORD scatter them
abroad upon the face of all the earth.
Genesis 11:9
“In the beginning there was only sky and water and the world was in darkness. {Earth in Genesis 1:1}Coiled in the water lay the Feathered Serpent ... {Lucifer, the serpent in Eden}
… in the sky dwelt Heart of Heaven appearing as three kinds of huracan, or lightening .... {3, the Godhead/Trinity}
… they fashioned a man out of clay ….... {Creation of Adam} ..
So the gods made a great flood during which resin fell like rain … most were killed … {Noah's Flood} ....
. Finally the people separated, going in different directions and speaking different languages … {Tower of Babel} ...”
It was in this manner, according to the Popul Vuh, the Sacred Book of the Quiché Maya, that the world was created and populated.” CMI
"The Popol Vuh is not regarded by the Maya as `the word of God' nor as sacred scripture but rather as an account of "the ancient word" and the understanding the Quiche had of cosmology and creation before the coming of Christianity. The Quiche referred to the book as an Ilb'al - an instrument of sight - and it was known as "The Book of the Mat" because of the woven mats the people would sit on to hear the work recited at the council house.
Spanish Bishop Diego de Landa burned as many of the books of the Yucatan Maya as he could find on 12 July 1562 at the city of Mani but, as he had no jurisdiction in the southern region of the Quiche, the Popol Vuh was spared. Still, it seems from the work itself that the continued practice of the indigenous religion was suppressed in the land of the Quiche as it was elsewhere and the anonymous author of the work felt the need to set down the myths of his people before they were lost."
