For those interested, I'd recommend checking out the video about the Aztec gods as well: th-cam.com/video/vND4F9H8KBU/w-d-xo.html. It's fascinating to compare and contrast the pantheons of these two Mesoamerican civilizations.
I been able to trace every god in every civilization/ empire and i have to say the mayan is the hardest . They have multiple lightening ,underworld, gods of war , death 😵💫 creator and agriculture gods this will be the hardest to discover which one is who.😮 😭😭😭😭😭😭🥺 thank god i already knew who kukulkan is , i have some digging to do. Thanks myan empire architect
Canaanite would like to know your location
This sounds interesting. You're tracing them to where? They have other, more original names stemming from somewhere else? I have to say this sounds fascinating, and like a compelling mystery. I'd like to hear more about this if you find my message
@@TheAncientAmbassador let me know if it's been erased . I just sent you 3 pages damn near
@@user-fj4ql2gg6t oh no :( Yeah it seems so, this is the only reply I see as of now
@ThePhilosophicalOpossum 😱😭 they always erase comments if it hits home . 😡 that's why I'm writing a book. It covers everything. Not sure the tittle yet , more than likely about everyone being a sheep on this planet . Everyone's religion ties to them and I can prove they run this world till this day .
By far the best list of Mayan Gods on TH-cam. Also great depictions. Thank you! Keep up the good work!
The depictions aren't actually very good in terms of historical accuracy - they look AI-generated, which would be inherently ingrained with the popular misconceptions of maya culture

Great video! Maybe do a video like this on the Mesopotamian or Canaanite gods as well?
This is a great video, please keep up the good work and if it's possible, can you maybe do one on my country Belize?
Noted! But after I will make videos of more general mythologies! P.S: glad you loved the video!

Buddy, have you heard of originality or good humor?
Praise Jesus, King of Kings
¿Y tus fuentes? Where are your sources? I want to read these entries myself, thank you very much.
It is possible to add Persian subtitles for the videos؟
Interesting
Same gods all over the world. Just different languages.
I would love to see one of lesser known Aztec gods

Psalms 119 🤔
You missed one tho...
No Awilix on the list, what a disappointment
😊👉🤔 only sing 😀😊😂
gods in disguise all are demons...
This explains 100000% my taste in men lol
This is tribes. Real Mayan stone mason clans mind it
The Mayans drew then selves as black people why they Mexican washing
NO!!! They are NOT Black afros..
They are brown indigenous people, a big percent of Mexicans are, and most Mexicans have roots of Aztecs, olmecs, toltecs…also they are still here in Mexico in a lot of tribes and Mestizos (half indigenous and Spaniards).
@cesarnavarro1318 stop lying to yourself. Most Mexicans were Asian slaves brought to the Americas by the Spanish and Portugese. There are multiple murals depicting them as black people with locks. Mexicans don't have locks. Try again
You tripping bro, they were Brown, full Brown
@trufu9678 bro are you fucking high? You do Meth? All Native Americans and Ancient South Americans, ALL Indigenous (original people) in North and South America were the same color. The Mayans had the exact Skin tone as the Natives in Canada and Native Mexican (Aztecs, Toltecs, Zapotecas etc) had the same skin tone as Mayans and people in Brazil. They were all BROWN. Suck a dick with your misinformation
@dabearsbriggs55 you the one tripping cuz I have yet to see a Mexican with dreadlocks like the mayans drew them selves. Besides most mexicans are descendants of Asian slaves brought to the America's by the Spanish. But the victorious always write the history books
