- Fighting the gods: the Popol Vuh (or why the Conquest of México could not repeat itself whit the Maya) Sharonah Fredrick Lengua y Literatura The Maya, 6,000,000 strong, have maintained traditions which played an important part in forming the mentality of resistance: hence, there is a long history of Maya colonial rebellion, in marked contrast to the overall panorama of Aztec submission. The philosophical roots of the Maya attitude appear through an analysis of the sacred text Popul Vuh , texts of coded Zuyua riddles of a ritualistic and pre-Colombian nature, and legends of the Maya Xtabay mythological witch. The Maya legends influence on legends of colonial resistance is evident among the Guetarre Indians of Costa Rica. The marked divergence of Maya and Aztec attitudes is apparent even in plays of the 16th century; its a history of mentalities that viewed the universe differently. The marked tendency towards rebellion present in pre-Christian Maya thought constitutes an important component in the formation of Maya revolts -the longest series of indigenous revolts recorded in all areas of the New World. 2003 artículo científico 1405-4167 https://www.redalyc.org/articulo.oa?id=38401408 en http://www.redalyc.org/revista.oa?id=384 Revista de Humanidades: Tecnológico de Monterrey application/pdf Instituto Tecnológico y de Estudios Superiores de Monterrey Revista de Humanidades: Tecnológico de Monterrey (México) Num.14
