What is the task of Mayan priests?

The Mayans had a full-time religious priest group, which was mainly responsible for festival etiquette, sacraments, divination and prophecy. They read scriptures in daily life, give advice to the nobles, and answer and explain some questions raised by the nobles. They also train some young priests, teach them all kinds of knowledge and etiquette, stipulate their duties, and educate them how to be role models, and then send them to some small towns to host sacrifices. They also trained their sons and the second sons of nobles from childhood, taught them calendar calculation, medicine and bible reading, and made them heirs of the priesthood group. The high priest is called "Goldmic" or "Kammai". They are extremely rich (accepting tributes and sacrifices from nobles and city residents) and respected (only they can communicate with the gods and pray to them).

The wax figure of the priest "Lan Qi" is a priest who is responsible for telling people God's answers to people. They are so respected that people often carry them on their shoulders. There are four "Chuck" who are responsible for assisting the priests to complete the sacrificial ceremony. "Conan" is an official, there are two kinds, one is specially used to cut open the chest of the living as a souvenir; The other one should be chosen from among military leaders or people with meritorious military service. Their term of office is three years and they enjoy high honors. The Mayans also had doctors and wizards, who mainly bled in the painful places of patients to treat diseases. Religion flourished during the Mayan period, with pyramids dotted with temples at the top. These pyramids are the ritual centers of Mayan religious activities. Many big cities in Maya were religious cities at that time, such as Kiligua in Guatemala and Copan at the southern tip of Yucatan Peninsula. At that time, there were many craftsmen and artists related to religion, such as those who carved various stone statues, wooden statues and fired pottery, those who painted murals and zenith for temples, and tailors who sewed sacrificial costumes.
