"The Hidden Civilization" is the title of my blog website, which refers to Native Americans. I decided to choose this title because I feel that the Native American and its histories are very hidden from the world. This civilization is full of mysteries and interesting knowledgeable materials that has yet to be uncovered, revealed and learned.
Popol Vuh is the first Mayan thing that I have ever read about. I like how the book attempts to explain how man and things were created. I also really like the lessons taught in the book and how it is relevant to how people should behave in society. It really captured my attention and my curiosity. I am really looking forward to learning Native American Studies and as soon as I do learn more, I shall post them up.

I"m glad you enjoyed the Popol Vuh. I think our thinking about the "mysteries" of Native culture might depend on perspective. I imagine these things aren't mysteries to people who are a part of these nations and cultures, so we should try to remember that when we keep reading. One person's mystery may be another person's every day life. Thanks for the first post!
ReplyDeleteYea, I guess it's not really a mystery. I just really thought the Mayans were really interesting and the fact that I do not know anything about them makes them so mysterious. Thanks for introducing me to the Mayan culture.
