What kind of religious beliefs did the Mayans have?

The gods most worshipped by Maya are God, Land God, Valley God, Rain God and God of War. These gods dominate people's farming and secular happiness. "Izamna" is the highest god worshipped by Maya and the protector of priests. He created Mayan writing and scientific knowledge, and the fertility god "Ishel" was his wife. Land is the lifeblood of the Mayans, so they worship the protector of the land "Chuck" very much. There are Chuck gods in the east, west, north and south, and Chuck in different directions has different colors. Chuck in the east is red, Chuck in the west is black, Chuck in the south is yellow and Chuck in the north is white.

Corn God Corn God is the most worshipped god of farmers. He is the "Yumkash" of a strong young man. Death "Ah Pucci" is a frightening skeleton; The god of war "Kakupakat" is the patron saint of military nobles. Maya's business is very developed and there are many cocoa plantations. They all worship the patron saint of merchants "Ekchuyahe".

The Mayans believed that there were four gods, namely Hobnier, Kanzikner, Sakimi and Hawthorne, who ruled the world once a year (and then once every 20 years). The whole universe is thirteen days and nine places, and there is a "cosmic tree" in the east, west, north and south, surrounding a green tree in the center of the universe. In every "cosmic tree", there lives a Chuck God, and each Chuck God has a pitcher. Rain formed when they tilted the pitcher to pour water. In the middle of the universe, under a big tree, there is a beautiful paradise, where a heavenly god, Hista Bu, lives. In far from heaven, there is a hell. Whether a person goes to heaven or falls into hell after death depends not only on what he did before his death, but also on his social status and how to die. They believe that the whole world will go through several times. When people's moral standards are low and people's souls go bad, this era will come to an end.

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. The Mayans built public temples, which were places where people carried out religious activities. Nobles and rich people have prayer rooms in their homes, where gods are enshrined and sacrifices and prayers are often made. Idols are made of stone, wood and clay, among which woodcarving is the most precious, and they are often regarded as family heirlooms. The Mayans also worshipped the spring in chichen itza. They went there to offer sacrifices and worship. On the way to worship, if you meet an abandoned temple, you should also go in and burn the corpse to pray.
