This is a story of the beginning when all was stillness, silence, and water. There was no light, no land, no plants, no people, and no animals.

Six deities, covered, in green and blue feathers, lay in the primordial waters: the Framer, Shaper, Tepew, and Quetzal Serpent, along with Xpiyacóc and Xmucané. These deities, helped Heart of Sky, also known as Hurakán, create the Earth.

Their spirit essence and miraculous power gave the Earth its creative energy.

      And then the animals              were created. But the             animals did not speak and           could not worship.

So the deities decided to create human beings from mud.

But the mud men had no souls and were not good "keepers of the days". So the deites destroyed them in a great flood.

But these humans did not have souls and were not very good "kee[er of the days". So the Deites decided to destroy them in a great flood. 

The deities tried another time and created humans from wood. But the wooden people were also destroyed because they too were unable to worship.

Those who survived are said to have become monkeys in the trees.
