polytheistic
Who was the first man created from maize after the Great Flood?
B'alam Quitze
Who was the Bacab of the North?
One of the four Bacab brothers, the sons of Itzamna and Ixchel. A creator god placed these skybearers at the four corners of the universe. Because each stands at one of the four cardinal directions, each is associated with a color, and also with a specific segment in the Maya calendar.
Can Tzicnal - bacab of the north, is assigned the color white, and the Muluc years.
